$100 Room Challenge· Room Makeovers

1 Mar

It’s the beginning of the $100 Room Challenge! This month I’ll be taking on our master bathroom and today I’m sharing my goals and some farmhouse master bathroom inspiration.

Hello, hello. Welcome to March: the arrival of spring. (Can I get an amen?) This day also marks week 1 of the $100 Room Challenge! I realize some may just be joining in, so let me very briefly explain this challenge. Back in September of 2015, I started a series in which I redid one space in my home, in one month’s time, with a $100 budget. In January of this year, I opened up the challenge to other bloggers, and 24 of us took on the challenge. (You can see all those amazing room transformations here.) It was so much fun having others join in that we’re doing it again. Some new faces are entering the challenge, and some are back for round two. January produced some jaw-dropping spaces, and I’m sure this month will be no different. I cannot wait!

Let me introduce you to the space I’ll be working on this month: our Master Bathroom. Please be aware, I don’t clean up, pick up, or scrub down anything for these before pictures. These are just “real life” shots of what I see every day.

 When you walk into our bathroom, there’s a door immediately to the right, leading to our master closet. Then comes our vanity. (Someone please remind me to clean that mirror… Yikes!)

This is our… ummm… toilet nook? What else would you call it?

Next to the “toilet nook” is our shower stall…

Here’s another angle of the vanity in which you can see the closet and master bedroom doors.

Goals for Our $100 Master Bathroom Makeover

So, let’s take a look at what I’m hoping to do in the space with my mere $100.

Goal 1: Paint the Walls & Vanity

Last March, I redid our Master Bedroom, and I got a 5 gallon bucket of paint (free) at my local recycle center. That bucket still contains a whole lotta paint, so I’m hoping I can use the same color in this bathroom. According to the bucket at the recycle center, it’s Sherwin Williams Agreeable Gray.

I don’t love the honey oak color on the cabinets, so I’m planning to paint the vanity using a satin enamel paint (which I can probably purchase for about $6). I’m looking for a color similar to Benjamin Moore’s Hale Navy.

Goal 2: Add Shelving

What was I thinking when I picked out our current shelving unit? I actually remember hating it the second we put it up, but I felt too bad to make my husband take it down again, so it’s been there for at least 5 years. Time to say goodbye. I’d love to DIY our own chunky wood shelves. Love, love, love these from Blesser House.

Goal 3: Add Storage/Décor Around Toilet

I’m not sure whether I’d like to create more shelving above the toilet, or maybe I can DIY a storage ladder to create a rustic look, like this one from Elizabeth Joan Designs.

Goal 4: Frame the Mirror

I love the look of framed mirrors. It adds such warmth and texture to the space. I am head-over-heels in love with this framed mirror from Cherished Bliss.

Goal 5: Wall Décor/Art

Our bathroom is so boring! There’s nothing but beige, beige, and beige. I’d love to add a little character to the walls. Maybe go with some of the free wall décor options found in this post.

    Thanks so much for organizing this #100roomchallenge, Erin! I am so excited to be participating this time.

    Love all the plans for your bathroom – we have a lot of the same inspiration 😉 Absolutely love those farmhouse prints! Wondering if I can replicate them myself too -I’ll be watching to see what you do.

      I am so excited to have you! This challenge is WAY better with friends! I had to change my plans a bit, so I don’t think those prints are going to work in my budget (sad). I’m sure I can come up with something else that will work though.

    Oh my word, Hale Navy and Agreeable Grey are two of my favorite paint colors ever! And they go perfectly together! They are going to look amazing with the warmth of the wood! We built floating shelves for over our toilet in the powder room and they were SO easy and I love them! I can’t wait to see how this space turns out! And now I need to go see if we have a recycle center…

      Well… we’re changing the color scheme (boo). When I went to pick out paint for the vanity (a satin enamel paint), and the navy color option seemed a little too bright for what I wanted, so we’re going gray and white. I’m determined to get these two colors together somewhere in my house though. They really do go perfectly together.

    I love the color choices you made for this space!!!! I cracking up over the dirty mirror and the shelving unit. Why do we live for so long with things we hate?! I’m so excited to see how it turns out.

      Seriously?! Every time I look at it, I do not like it… at all, yet it stays there ’cause it’s “too much work” to take it down I guess. That’s what I love about this challenge. I actually do those things I’ve put off… for 5+ years 🙂

    You can do this! I think all of your decisions seem pretty sound and doable for 4 weeks and $100.

    We are all so screwed when beige on beige on beige comes back into style LOL. Also, we have a toilet nook in our master too 🙂

      We are totally screwed… although our living room is still beige… on beige… on beige, so I’ve got that going for me 🙂

    Your inspirations are so pretty – this will be amazing. Hale Navy is one of my favorite navy blues! Oh, I think the “toilet nook” is called a “water closet.” Totally random, I don’t even know how I know that!

      This made me laugh. Is it a water closet even if it doesn’t have a door? Too funny. Thanks so much for following along! … and I’m pretty sure there hasn’t been one thing painted in Hale Navy that I didn’t love 🙂

    I made over my bathroom a couple of years ago and painted my builder grade cabinet grey. I still love it! I can’t wait to see what you do in this space. I love your plan! Thanks for putting together this challenge for other bloggers to participate!

      I have LOVED seeing how others spend their $100. Creativity abounds, and it’s so inspirational. Glad to hear you’re still loving your cabinet makeover. I cannot wait to give this space some new paint.

    Erin this is a great space to makeover with a budget! You can totally do it! Awesome that you found a can of paint for free! Can’t wait to see where you go with this, and I’m excited to join you for this round! Thank you for the motivation!!

      I am SO glad you are joining in! … and as for paint, I frequently stop by our local recycle center to see what they have. We have a lot of new homes being built in our area, and when builders have leftover paint, they drop it off, and I grab it up since it’s free to take. I probably have too much paint now 🙂
