Dreams of Being Hip: Decorating my Apartment

I feel like I have hardly decorated my apartment. What's a hipster to do?Well, obviously, I'd want my apartment to look modern and cool like this:But I straight up can't afford that right now. So I've gotta come up with some nifty money saving ideas to decorate, right? That's hip I think.So here are a few hipster decorating tips when you're strapped for cash.The Cheap Painting:

1. Cut out pages of a magazine
2. Get a $2 frame from salvation army of the same size
3. Put the page of a magazine in it and hang it on the wall.

The way the glass touches the magazine paper it will look like a real nice piece to hang in your apartment. This idea comes from my girlfriend (she exists, I promise). Ironic poster:

1. Attend something you'd never go to like a pro baby killing rally
2. Get a poster from the event
3. Hang it up in your apartment

Voila! You've got a hilarious ironic wall piece and a great story for all your hipster guests. Make something functional a bit more FUNctional

1. Get streamers
2. Put them on the vents on your air conditioner
3. Turn on the air conditioner

Now you've got a wild crazy party every time you decide to cool down. It's kinda spooky! Recycling

1. Take something you already buy often (like egg cartons for me)
2. Put the egg cartons in a place on your wall, fill in a pattern or something

And ta-da you've recycled something you already would buy and turned it into a decoration. Egg cartons are sound proof too! Be a trust fund hipster:

1. Find an expensive piece of art
2. Buy the mona lisa
3. Hang it in your bathroom

This is probably the hippest thing you can do. Damn I wish I had a trust fund... And that's why this week's dream of being hip is to have the Mona Lisa or comparable piece of artwork hanging in my bathroom.
