The COVID-19 pandemic brought me to a place I didn't envision spending my last college summer–home in Boise, Idaho. I finished my second semester of junior year in my childhood bedroom, in the house I grew up in. I had originally planned for the pandemic to end in time to hold a summer internship back in Boston or in NYC, but obviously that was not the case. With the extra time I had spent at home, I decided to make my space as comfortable and personalized as possible.
I wanted to embrace some of the accents that I had incorporated in my room at school. I love the look of marble and have used contact paper since my freshman year. Since I wasn't going to be home permanently, I didn't want to get a brand new marble top desk. I ended up covering the desk with a roll of beige-colored marble contact paper. I love everything gold, so I got some smaller mirrors to hang as decor and spray painted my originally hot pink full length mirror with gold spray paint to match.
My mom has a large collection of plants, which I propagated from to add some greenery to my windowsill. I paired this with some pampas grass stems to add a modern decor touch. On my walls, I hung some quote wall art with binder clips and even a map of Boston.
I'm partnering with The Home Depot for this post, because they have provided me this beautiful upholstered ivory tufted headboard from Plumridge. The headboard ties together the entire room, and goes perfectly with my all white bedding for an elegant touch. On some days, when working from my bed is just too tempting, I love still having a cute background for Zoom calls.
