Going to college, a rite of passage, one of the few that remains in our modern world.

After the first day, the college dorm room will never look the same. It becomes the room, the space between past and future, from home to college. Fill it with purpose and style, of things old and new.

what great finds! wish my dorm had looked this cool
Fantastic! One should be so lucky as to have some great vintage touches in a dorm room! I'm pretty sure I had an antique mattress in one dorm room, that's the one vintage item you don't want!
This is a great post, Maggie! Almost makes me want to go go back to school! ;)
i agree with everyone- great post! wish my dorm room had been this cool. :)
...so long ago and yet so life changing - thanks for bringing back some great fond memories of the good old days in the dorms- wonderfully done!
Incredible finds! Thanks so much.
Fabulous post Maggie! All the college days are behind us as all our kids have graduated and are all working (thank God). Lots of great memories.
I love your comments about combining the old with the new as kids begin their life away from home - very well written! All great finds to start that new decor!
wonderful blog post Maggie. :)
My dorm was totally vintage including everything in my room, not by design of course. That was then and this is now. Now it is cool!! I have two in college and they are loving vintage and vintage industrial. That's a good thing because now I have vintage stuff again, now by design of course.
Thanks for adding my wood stackers to the blog!!!
Thanks Maggie, for featuring my waxed canvas pouch!
Take Care, Lissa

Oh yeah these are great picks! it's probably a good thing Etsy wasn't around when I was in college because i would have spent all my money there!
I love this helping the college student incorporate vintage with the new! Great post Maggie!!
Amazing Maggie! Your writings and insights and fabulous finds are a true delight!
This is the day your life will surely change is right! Great items for going off to school with!

Love this article and all the items!
Wonderful article! I wish I'd had some of these things. Especially the rock, paper, scissors pillows! Thanks for including my poodle lamp!
My nephew just started college a few weeks ago. I wonder if any of his dorm room decorations are from etsy! Maggie, I love your take on topics!
