Finding small things to add to night stands and tables in your campus dorm or apartment can really transform the aesthetic. I know that adding pictures has been an easy and convenient way for me to decorate. The use of picture frames is especially great because you can choose the size and color to match what you already have in your room. They are also a lot easier to remove from the room during move out than tacked up pictures and posters. If you are interested and/or already enjoy having picture frames in your room this project is a great way to customize them.
