Sydney: It’s 130 square feet. My room at home is bigger than this room and I’d never shared a room with anyone, so learning to share a room and be considerate of what I’m doing was a learning curve. Like, do I change here or do I go to the bathroom? I have to be mindful.
I’m not bothered by my dirty dishes overnight, but she might be. If we leave anything in the kitchen it will get thrown away.Reygen: We have a Persian rug, a handwoven Persian rug that’s the most expensive in value but we got it at a garage sale for $20. Sydney: We just knew that we were going to make it our own and make it not feel like a dorm. When we Googled our dorm online they just didn’t look inviting or comfy or like a home, this is where we are going to be sleeping and we want to be comfortable.
Reygen: I knew I would be spending a lot of time in this room and we looked for design inspiration from social media influencers we follow on Instagram.Reygen: We shop mainly together. All of our purchases, we put stuff we liked in a cart and took it to the cashier and split it 50/50. I love Target, HomeGoods. I like to thrift a lot of stuff; sustainability! We also got a lot of stuff from home goods and the Container Store, and a lot from World Market.
