I am moving into a new apartment next week for my senior year of college (eekkk!!) I am so excited and it is a great excuse to go shopping for new decor. I was so excited I kind of went overboard on the shopping part, which isn't unusual for me. However once I get to school there will be bills to pay so I had a fun idea for budget friendly wall decorations.
First I found some great photos of old Vogue covers online at British Vogue like this one,
Then I resized them to 5x7 and printed them on photo paper
Then I found two cute frames at TJ Maxx for $9.99 however the paint was chipping a bit so I asked them to reduce the price and I got them for only $9.00 each!
Once I got the frames home I filled in the chipped paint with black sharpie and they are good as new!
Here is the final product...
I am really pleased with the outcome, what do you think?
