Move-In with me

Updated: May 25, 2020

Howdy! Im back and better than ever! I moved into my new house in College Station with three of my best-friends. I decorated my room with the colors maroon, pink, and white. My bathroom is decorated with the colors white, grey, and pink. The house I moved into was completely furnished so the list below does not have a lot of furniture items.


Here is a list of my college move in necessities grouped by category!

Both my mom and dad helped me move in to my apartment and they helped me so much! I couldn't of done it without my dads "Bob the Builder" skills and my moms "Interior Design Skills". I hope this helps incoming freshman! Email me with any questions! xoxo Kaitlin
