super-cheap dorm room decorating idea
If you keep an eye out for colorful postcards, you can create an intriguing piece of wall art that will grow over the course of the semester and be a nifty reminder of all the cool stuff you've done. Best of all, lots of promotional postcards (which advertise a new band, movie, gallery exhibit, whatever) are free! You can find them in bookstores, record stores, and coffeeshops, or even on the street. Also, if you're feeling super-artsy, you can cut up local newspapers and/or magazines and make collages to beautify your space.
Thanks for the contribution, super cool project.
