As much as you'd like to deny it, it's time to pack those bags and head back to school! Whether you're shacking up on campus in the dorms, going solo in your own apartment, or looking forward to a packed year in the sorority house, those blank walls can look pretty unfriendly. Even if you're not the homesick type, jazzing up your empty wall space can do wonders in making you feel more at home in your new school-year pad, and you're likely to find that even the most cramped or most run-down of places are a whole lot more bearable with a little added personality. Look back on fond memories of last summer while you have new fun times in the fall with a wall photo sleeve, or mark your limited territory over on your side of the tiny dorm room with an initial marquee light fixture. No matter what cool and trendy wall decor you throw up, it may never be a four-star resort, but hey -- it's home! Check the slideshow for some of my favorite fun and quirky wall hang-ups!

So, mirror, mirror, here's a question for ya: Who has the fairest apartment in the land? If you've got a mirror on your wall, the answer might just be you!

With all the unique mirrors out there, there's no reason to go the plain Jane route: look for mirrors that will not only enlarge your space but will add an interesting design element as well. From mirrors adorned with cheeky graphics to nature-inspired mirrors to sleek mirrors perfect for minimalist spaces, there's a mirror to fit every aesthetic in my SLIDESHOW!
