Creative Decorating Ideas for a dorm room?

My roommate and I are moving into an apartment style door room. It has a kitchen and a living room and still the same cinderblock walls. We also have separate bedrooms. For my room, I have a lot of photographer, graphic design, and painter friends so I'm trying to get each to make me something to put on the wall. For the kitchen, we thought about taking a champagne bottle and burning a candle into the top. Does anyone have any other cheap/creative decorating ideas? Or a website that might help? Thanks.

3. simple things to spice up a dorm include colorful rugs, anything you can put on the walls (i had album covers up one year, my roommate was obsessed with fashion magazines and plastered the walls with her favorite ads, etc). for common areas, try picking a color scheme and buying things that fit into it. the dollar aisles at target are a lifesaver, you always find the most random things, usually for under $5. light becomes very important, so make sure you have enough lamps and stuff. i know a lot of people who collect liquor/wine bottles in their kitchens and its good at least for some color. also, if you're allowed, try painting a wall or two, it really makes it feel more like home and its one less wall you feel the need to decorate.
