if you cant paint, head down to your nearest discount fabric store and color the walls with fabric laid flat and stapled to wall (you can figure something out). that way there's color, and maybe a subtle pattern, and you can return to normal when you leave. Also try cutting 1/4" plywood to fit in back of the shelves and paint those-think of everything in such a way that you can return to as-original condition quickly...

Quote from: pantabloStart with some paint on the one wall that is against the wall. sage green for that sensitive look, ducati red for lusty color...then use a different hue of the same color for inside the bookshelves (only the back of the shelves, behind the books and shaZam!).

then buy a solid color blanket and you might end up getting some poon-tang...
Pablo is a wise man.   :thumb:

I still think wine coolers and chicks would cover it.   :lol:

Quote from: AlphaFire X5Here's some stuff we're not allowed to bring:

    Halogen lamps over 120 watts
    Crock Pots, electric woks and skillets, George Foreman Grills, hamburger cookers, hot plates, rice cookers, toasters, toaster ovens, deep fryers, bread cookers, coffee/drink warmers and any appliance with open heating coils.
    Candles, incense or anything with an open flame (oil lamps, lighters, etc.)
    Extension cords, multi-plug converters
    [/list:u]

    I can't even have an extension cord. It's a pain in the ass.
:O man, that sucks. No extension/multiplug cords? I just counted over 28 items pluged in in my room. There's about 5-10 more that are unplugged/unused too.

No toasters? How do you get your toast? ;) Fry it in a pan? What about BBQ's? (out on a deck?)

Damn, I would be breaking a few of thoes rules if I was there. Just switch it up so no one can see/tell, and change it when/if they inspect?


Oh, how about a cool big tapestry? Or a real nice big rug?

Tasteful, motocross posters with chicks in bikinis should do. I'm tempted to say to paint over the wood, but I like wood and they probably wont allow you to.

What are these "rules" that you keep talking about?  Did they have those when I was in school?  Probably did, I seem to recall someone yelling at me about something-or-other.  Hrm.  I'm pretty sure I wasn't listening.  Maybe I was drunk.  Come to think of it...the odds of that are pretty good.  Either drunk or hung over.  Either way, I'm sure I was in no mood to listen to anybody go on about their "rules".

Right...I thought that was half the point of going to college in the first place.  They make these rediculous rules and you have to develop the judgement and creativity to break them in ways that get you into enough trouble to build some character, but not enough to do any serious damage.

It's not her room.

The Acrobots from thinkgeek.com rock! You could have a bunch of them posed in some like rock concert...ooh, now that I think of it buy a bunch of Star Wars figures and pose them in some diorama...a bunch of Stormtroopers worshipping Darth, escorting a band of captured Jawas or Ewoks, interrogating Obi-wan and Luke in their landspeeder.

Ya need a table to trip over.  I suggest you go down to the electric company (Possibly the cable or phone company, but they're not as heavily built.) and pick out a clean and undamaged cable spool like this:



Yeah, the *do* come in smaller sizes.   :mrgreen:   Sand it down with to 220 and varnish it with a couple coats of spar varnish.  Really cool table for under $20 that's impossible to break, unlike wally world crap.

You can optionally put a piece of glass on top.  Go to the glass shop and have them cut something to fit.  It's not necessary though, and I think it detracts from the industrial beauty of it.
Every zero you add to the tolerance adds a zero to the price.

If the product "fails" will the product liability insurance pay for the "failure" until it turns 18?

I believe the correct term is "dustcatchers".

Loft the bed and put a sofa or futon under it.   :thumb:

Also, if you get fish, make sure you get a lid for the tank.  I had zebra dano's (sp) during college, came back from Christmas break and noticed a couple where missing.  Found them in the spring while moving out.  They were all dried up on the floor behind the desk.  :o

One last thing, the list of prohibited items should be treated as more of a suggestion.  I had a full sized fridge my first year in the dorms, it held tons of beer!!!  :cheers:
