The Housing and Residence Life Room Design finalists have been selected. Since the deadline was extended to Monday, there was even a larger pool of submissions to choose from. After much deliberation, the HRL staff has chosen the final top three in each category (double room, triple room and apartments).
Now it’s up to you! Students can vote for their favorite room in each category. The winners will each receive a $50 gift card (per winning resident). To ensure that your favorite room wins, head over to the HRL Facebook page to vote in each category.
Students have from Nov. 15 to Nov. 26 to cast their vote. The ultimate winners will be revealed on the HRL Facebook the week after Thanksgiving break.
Below are photos of the top rooms in each category and descriptions the finalists gave. Before casting your vote, take a good look at each photo and the descriptions students gave with their submissions. For all photo submissions and details go to the Housing and Residence Life Facebook
Good luck to all the finalists! May the odds be ever in your favor.
A few words from the designers:
1.Feeling at home
My walls are decorated with pictures of my periences with my friends, and it makes me feel at home, because home is where the heart is. (Jacqueline)
2. Mix and Match:
“Pink and Parisian” paired with “blue and Bands” is a blend of two very different personalities and styles that mesh perfectly together to create the perfect dorm room (Hannah and Victoria)
3.The Cottage
1. A place to make better friendships. 2. Where late night pillow talks happen. 3. A refuge from the craziness of life. 4. Where ideas begin. 5. Where young women can come and watch hours of “Say Yes to the Dress”, eat ice cream and never feel guilty about it. 6. A place that welcomes spiritual growth and encourages it in others It’s more than just a Lovernich apartment, its our memories.” (Bailey, Morgan, Ariana, Kendra)
4. The Anti-Dorm
Our room is the anti-dorm; we wanted it to be home-like and luxurious. We utilized the space in our room to include a futon and TV (Maura and Jacqueline)
5. Family Love
We both wanted to represent our families in the room, so Madison used a homemade quilt and material from her parents’ weding, and Adrianna strung pictures of her friends and family across the wall. (Adrianna and Madison)
6. Comfy Crib
Our goal when decorating our room was to make it feel as homey and comfortable and not at all like a dorm room. the beacy vibe of our color scheme and decor makes the room a very relaxing and enjoyable place to be. (Kara and Tayla)
7. Making Memoires
I rounded up all the roommates, it was our time to start,
One more year and we were gonna’ depart,
We had to do it right this time, a theme and all,
So we gathered up ideas, and made our apartment just “doll,”
We came to a conclusion, flowers, leaves, and more,
A harvest of memories, now that’s something we adore.
Anyone is welcome, anytime, any day, the more the merrier is what we say,
And if you happen to be from Shanghai, make sure to holler this way!
Through ups and downs, twists and turns, Pepperdine surely outsells,
If it weren’t for that Orange & Blue, we might have made an early farewell
Thank goodness we didn’t, it would be so different: schools, lives, and apartment décor
A harvest of memories, now that’s something we adore.
(Danielle, Laura, Caelan, and Carla)
