Swing From the Chandelier

decorating· decorating inspiration

I’m gonna swing from the chandelier….. the chandelier! Sing it with me! My daughter and I love that popular song by Sia. We moved our oldest daughter Morgan into college a few weeks ago. Decorating a dorm room can be a challenge, because  you can’t nail anything into the walls. Removable vinyl wall decals are a perfect option for any dorm room. I called up my friend Leen The Graphics Queen and asked her if she could design a custom decal for me. Based on Sia’s song, I thought a “Swing From the Chandelier” Wall Decal would be a fun addition to Morgan’s dorm room! Dorm Room Decor- Chandelier DecalMorgan and Leen loved the idea! Leen already sells a few chandelier wall decals. I chose the Ornate Crystal Chandelier  and Leen designed the words to go underneath the chandelier.

***Morgan sent me all these pics of her room that she took with her iPhone. I really wanted to bring my tripod, light kit, and camera to her dorm room and set up a photo shoot, but the look of sheer horror I saw in Morgan’s widened eyes at that suggestion told me that phone pics from her would have to suffice! Ha!*** Leen the Graphics Queenswing from the chandelier -custom wall decalThe chandelier decal can be ordered in your choice of over 40 colors! We chose the dark plum to match Morgan’s hot pink and plum Roxy bedding. The application is easy and Leen provides step by step application instructions with each order. What is so great is that the decal can be easily removed without damaging the walls. Morgan - graduation day     For a little extra bling we stuck on several adhesive gem stones where the chandelier crystals hung. I love the addition of that extra sparkle! You can find self adhesive gem stones at most craft stores. I actually found mine last year around Halloween time at Target! They were part of a pumpkin decorating kit. 😉 chandelier wall decal   Morgan’s dorm room is slowly coming together, but is still needing a bit more artwork and decor, which she’ll pick up when she visits home. (Hopefully sometime soon!) or maybe I’ll bring some items up for parents weekend. Leen the Graphic Queen provides:

    What an adorable idea and I bet every female student comes in to check out her dorm room. I went on your friend’s website and wow! I saw some that I’d like to order also..When I first read the title of your daily post, I thought Kim has stressed out herself about her daughter going away to college; had a few too many cocktails and is swinging from the chandelier. LOL! Thanks for sharing the pictures of her room and your beautiful daughter with us. Mom, she’s going to be fine; I know it’s hard to cut the apron strings but you’ve raised her right and she’s going to be fine and excell!
