The bathroom makeover is over and It’s time to reveal all the work I did as part of the $100 Room Challenge. You’ll find out everything that can be done with a small budget of only $100. Affordable and fun projects to make to update a bathroom.

At the beginning of the month, I wasn’t sure if I would have the time to get in that awesome challenge considering I was leaving for Springbreak. But I sooo wanted to do it! So, I wrote my first blog post on the plane and as soon as I got connected to the internet, added my link with 16 min left to the first week’s post!
It was my first challenge and I loved each minute of it! I really needed this push in the back to get things done. You know, those things that were just sitting there for sooooo long!
Week 1 | Week 2 | Week 3 | Week 4 | Week 5
Now, bathroom makeover reveal!!
Here are all the projects I magically have done during, mostly, the last 2 weeks!
DIY Deer Art
Rustic Crochet Baskets
Also finally got those shelves up there! (can’t believe it only took 15 min and they were lying there for 1 1/2 year!!)
Upgrade of the trash can
Rope Mirror
DIY Rustic Ladder
and yes, the heater is now hidden!
All of this for less than $100… Ahem… USD
Yeah… decided that being Canadian was a major handicap in this challenge so got my little chart for comparison!

Are 51 cents over ok? 😜 I went back and bought more towels since I didn’t have enough money to buy another scone lamp. I wish I could have changed it. It will be for another time!
I love to look at the before and after pictures. This is when you can really notice the upgrade. I think it looks brighter and happier now! Don’t you?
This challenge was amazing to do. Thanks to Erin from Lemons, Lavender and Laundry for coming up with the idea and letting us participate with her. I will certainly participate again!
