decorating a dorm room
I'm moving into a dorm soon and have started to look for decorations for it but need help deciding what exactly to put on the walls.
I already have the comforter:
I need some ideas of what to hang on the walls. I already found picture frames and I'm going to make my own name board. I made one for my friend's baby:
Mine will look just like that except the letters will be painted white, with a blue background, and brown on the trim.
I wanted to possibly use some metal work but, being a college student, I'm broke and can't afford the expensive decorations. Is there anything classy and elegant--yet cheap--that I could buy?

Also, if you have a Hobby Lobby or Garden Ridge in your town, look there. They have nice decorative items at great prices. Target also.

Thought of a couple of other places to buy decorations - Kirklands, Marshalls, TJ Maxx, and online there is Overstock.com

This was bumped back up by a spammer
OP hasn't been back in months
But Craigslist is a good source for what is needed
I picked up a 27" Sony TV (8 years old) & coffee table for free
Also picked up a 14" RCA TV 3 years old for free
