The time has come!

Week 4 and the final reveal of the $100 Room Challenge is here!

Before

This small bathroom is in need of a serious makeover. $100 room challenge here I come! See how I transform this dated 90s bathroom into a modern beauty.

It’s crazy to me that I let this small bathroom be this ugly for 4 whole years!

Looking at it now, I think I didn’t realize how bad it actually was. I guess it’s true what they say, you never know what you have until its gone… and I think the gone part is looking pretty good about now.

Check out the new and improved version!

Isn’t it such a change?

I’m totally obsessed.

Between the stencil and the paint color, it was well worth the effort.

I have included my source list and links to all the DIY projects including the DIY shelves and my tips for stenciling your bathroom below.

Week 1: Project Plan | Week 2: DIY Shelves | Week 3: Tips for Stenciling | Week 4: Final Reveal

Cost Breakdown for $100 Room Challenge

  • $19.69 Paint (I already had the green paint, this was for the Mindful Gray behind the stencil)
  • $9.12 Wood for Shelves (Made 4 shelves, but I only needed 2)
  • $4.97 Foam paint roller for stencil
  • $11.08 L Shelf Brackets (4 total – 2 per shelf)
  • $2.30 Screws to Connect Brackets to Shelves
  • $52.54 Large Stencil (the stencil comes in small and medium for a much lower cost)
  • Items I already had
    • Frog Tape
    • Oil Rubbed Bronze Spray
    • Stain for the Shelves
    • Green Paint for Stencil
    • Seal Spray for Shelves
    • Wall Anchors to Attach Shelves
    • Paint Tray
    • Small Paint Brushes
    • Laser Level
    • Decor for Shelves

For a Grand Total of $99.70… Now that’s taking the $100 budget seriously. I literally laughed out loud when I tallied up all my expenditures. I will say that it is great to have spare DIY materials lying around the house. 

What’s Next for this Room

The next phase of this room is going to include a 9-Grid set of acrylic frames with black and white pictures of golf courses we’ve played as well as a new, more modern mirror.

This is the one I’ve been eyeing: (affilate link) Modern Mirror from Amazon.

I would have added this in for the $100 room challenge, but it would have busted my budget by a lot.

So I will by saving up over the next few weeks to full finish this room to my liking. 

I would love to know what you think on Phase 1!

Please leave a comment below and be sure to follow me on Instagram to get all the behind the scenes updates in my stories.

My next big project will be our bonus room for the one room challenge starting up next week.

I’m feeling energized now, but back to back projects has never been done by me.

Because my bathroom makeover only cost $100, I was able to slip in another project!

The joys of budgeting!

UPDATE: Phase 2 of the Powder Room Makeover is complete.

        Thanks so much, Cindy!! Honestly, if you use my tips from week 3 on how to use a wall stencil you could definitely do it! It took about two days to complete the paint and stencil part. If you give it a try, you’ll have to let me know!

      Once again – such a dramatic difference with only a can of paint and some creativity. You must be a pro at stenciling – I thought it must be wallpaper at first with such crisp lines.
      I’m hope you enjoy your “new” bathroom!

      Wow it looks amazing! I love the new colors, and that stenciling on the wall. And those shelves look perfect in here. Isn’t it amazing how long we’re willing to live with something before finally taking the plunge? You did a great job in here!
