I stumbled across this DIY fridge makeover, and think it is a great idea!  I will most definitely be considering taking this project on when I get back to school...

This is super cute!  It also works great to wall paper your fridge, or you can take a much simpler route and decal your fridge to look great like Jill and Kari at Babs Blog.  Or If you don't want to go through all the work covering a fridge all over, but still want this standard dorm room appliance to look a little less abrasive in your room, go for awesome magnets.  You can make your own or just buy some cute ones.
