Second Year University Room

Hello again my sweets,

Last week I moved properly into my second year house for university! We signed for this house last November which sounds crazy when I look back as I only had 6 weeks to decide who I wanted to live with!! However for me this has worked out well as I am still really good friends with all the girls and so excited for this year :) our house is so nice and I am really pleased we found it! This is my room pretty much finished, if you read my post about first year accommodation you can see its a massive change from my room last year :P I have the biggest room in the house and we chose them from a hat so it was fair :)


As a geography student I had to have my handy world map :P I have put it on a pin board and placed pins where I have been, hopefully one day this map will be full of them as I hope to travel the world :) the teddies were a Christmas present from my mum which I love as it always reminds me of her when I get home sick! And no student room is complete without a biscuit barrel!


I went for a vintage look for my room and just fell in love with this bedding! The empty table is for the turtle tank which should be here soon and Duncan will be moving in then, very excited to have him this year :) 




My makeup, blogger, working area :) the mirror was already there so my desk had to be placed here which works quite well now :) there was a pin in the wall I use for my keys and everything else is from home :) my calender, card and picture were all made by my boyfriend and I love them all :) as you can see I have my makeup boxes and mirror and on the other side everyday items and a plant pot full of pens :P 




I hate my door closed so keep it open with this cute little dog door stopper :) love that the girls can just wonder in when they want and feels a lot more welcoming :) 


These are my pride and joy! My Dunny Collection :) I have been collecting them for about a year and a half now and I have 13 so far and want to keep going! They are small vinyl toys from a KidRobot and from a range of collections! I am going to do a full post on them in the future because I love them so much so wont explain to much now :P these are lined up on my windowsill and everyone has been asking me about them! 



I am so excited for second year, setting up the house has been stressful trying to sort out bills and all that and we still haven't got them all done but we are slowly getting there! Being an adult is a lot harder and a lot more expensive then I thought :P 

Any questions about uni or sorting out houses I am more then happy to help if I can :P

How do you make your room look homely?

  1. Your room is so lovely! My uni room is ever so small and full of stuff, wish I'd argued for one of the bigger rooms more now.
    I'm also massively jealous of your nice wooden floor and nicely painted walls... I have a thin old carpet and horrible yellowy cream paint over bobbly wallpaper. Not the best really.

  5. I only have the one Dunny, a Zombie one from an old Halloween collection which was given to me by an old friend. It takes pride of place on my desk at work. I love it. Real jealous of your collection especially the ketchup one. Have fun Katie, when I read posts like this it makes me wish i could have gone to Uni but at the time it was just not possible. xxx
