Home Away from Home By Jessi Ponce Sanchez

Dorm Decorations

My theme was rooms and the different decorations around the girls' dorm. To see how girls' individual personalities and values shone through their decorations.

River Hooks' desk. The decorations extend past the walls and are seen all around her room. The mini posters include shows Riv has loved, and her tapestry is from her older sister.

Amy's side of the room is very simple in comparison. Her solutions for keeping her lamps from falling are very innovative.

Taking in their room fully, the divide is clear. And so are their distinct personalities.

My room! My desk is cluttered with awards and gifts from friends and family. My mood board for 2026 is right next to the desk, reminding me of what my future holds. I should eat those oranges before they go bad.

Haruna's desk. Her simple decorations reflect her style and goals. Like me, she keeps her mood board beside her desk.

Danika's Room. A recent addition to the girls' dorm. Having a whole dorm room to decorate might've been a daunting task to others, but she effortlessly portrayed her style.

Evelyn's desk. She has gifts from her friends and family. She keeps notes around her desk to keep herself motivated. Evelyn holds her friends close to her heart.

Kay's bedside wall. Her decorations are highly curated, and she works hard to keep the same aesthetic across her room. Her interests are clearly seen from the anime poster to the photobooth pictures.

Rebecca and Bella's room. They began sharing rooms the last week of the first semester. They have been inseparable since the first week of school. They have a giant bed they share.
