Making over a room for $100 may seem impossible, after all, $100 isn’t a whole lot of money to work with… but, these amazing $100 room makeovers are going to blow your mind! Sharing my very favorite $100 room makeovers from the $100 Room Challenge.

Next week marks the two-year anniversary of the $100 Room Challenge (and the start of another round) 🙂 This challenge started as I was scrolling through picture-perfect images on Pinterest, wondering why I was not a millionaire with oodles of money to spend on my home. Instead of sulking over it, I decided to do something about it. What if I gave myself a budget of $100 to spend on a room? Could I actually accomplish anything with it? I decided to try it out in my mudroom, and the result were pretty impressive. I loved the thrill of working with such a strict budget because I had to get creative and think outside the box. Thus, the $100 Room Challenge was born.

After doing the challenge by myself for 16 months, I decided to ask some blogger friends to join me… Honestly, I was a bit nervous. What if they didn’t really grasp the concept? I mean no offense, but please don’t buy a $95 lamp and call it good. This is supposed to be a big transformation on a tiny budget. My fears were put to rest the moment the reveals started going up. I could not believe what people ended up doing in one month’s time with only $100.

In celebration of the two year anniversary of the $100 Room Challenge, I’m sharing some of my favorite $100 makeovers over the past 3 challenges (which is when others joined in). While choosing my favorites, I found myself loving bathroom makeovers a whole lot, so this is really my favorite bathroom reveals, plus a couple others thrown in for good measure 🙂

In total there have been 80 makeovers done with $100 budget ):

25 Bathrooms (This is why I like so many bathrooms; they’re in the majority)
15 Bedrooms
8 Hallways/Entries
7 Closets
6 Laundry Rooms
5 Dining Rooms
4 Craft Rooms
4 Living Rooms
2 Family Rooms
2 Pantries
and 2 Sunrooms/Porches
