When we moved in her room still had the original builder-neutral paint with a pattern stamped on the wall. On the blank area of the wall there used to be cabinets that the previous owners removed.
We painted her room with the Woolie, although it ended up being more blue than the tan she was aiming for. The shade was replaced with some blinds I found on clearance at Lowes. The window scarf is some blue dress material for a project that never happened. At the head of her bed is her file cabinet, covered with more material. The box at the front of her bed still needs to be painted. Her body pillow lets her use her bed as an impromptu couch.
The design above her bed is from a scrapbook tablet of metallic papers that we picked up at Joann's. This was quite a stretch to create for an engineer mom and a realism-based artist, but we really like the results. She will tape them to the wall better when we get the right tape. The paper has a silvery, metallic design on it and picks up the silver flowers in her comforter (we planned that of course :P)
We used some of the paper from the tablet to cover her bulletin board, that is behind her door.
You'll notice there is no dresser. With wire organizers and plastic bins, everything is in her closet. As an English major, books have the highest priority and so a bookcase was put in the dresser location.
So, with paint and a $10 scrapbook tablet, her room is complete, for now.

My younger daughter, also a college student, will probably do the same thing :). The nice thing about buying a tablet is that the colors and designs are coordinated so everything goes together!
