$100 Room Challenge: Powder Room Reveal

Wednesday, September 25, 2019




Welcome to REVEAL week for the $100 Room Challenge! I am so excited to share our powder room with you! The before and after of this room is seriously unbelievable!

If you are just tuning in you can catch up below!

Week 1 | Week 2 | Week 3 | Reveal

I honestly wasn't even planning on joining this month's challenge- what with having moved less than a month ago 😱! But I was hit by the inspiration truck and here we are! I am so so proud of this space and even more proud that I came in under budget! That is not always the case with these challenges (like our master bedroom I completed for January's $100 Room Challenge).

Enough talk... let's get to the details of this makeover!

I started by giving this room a fresh coat of paint in Heavy Cream by Behr. I had used this color in our guest bedroom makeover at our last house and I just loved how light and bright it was without any overpowering undertone.


Once the room was painted I started on my accent wall (full tutorial here). My design for this wall was inspired by this wallpaper. Sure... I could have used actual wallpaper- but the thought of trying to tackle installing it for my first time on a wall with tons of nooks and crannies was overwhelming. So I grabbed my paint brush and a makeshift stencil and got to painting.


This wall was honestly easier than it looks! It took all over 30 minutes to complete and has such a major impact! I love the imperfections that came with hand-painting it! It looks so custom!




The next major update was painting the existing vanity in the color Lichen by Fusion Mineral Paint. I have had this pint on hand for nearly a year and finally found the perfect piece to paint! I think this color combined with the walls and accent wall is just perfection.



Once everything was painted I set out to update our light fixture. If you read last week's update then you know this wasn't my original plan. I shifted gears when I realized I wasn't going to find the exact shades I wanted but I am happy with how this one turned out!





I had this old mirror lying around that I thought would fit this space perfectly. It was originally black with a silver detail but I decided to use my 'make anything look like wood' technique to give it an update. I was so close to donating this and I am so glad I kept it around for this challenge!



My original design included adding shelves above the toilet but I decided to keep this area simple (sometimes less is more). I had a few leftover baskets from an old basket wall so I decided to hang two. I love that these bring in texture, simplicity and a bit of a farmhouse feel.



A few other details I added were a towel hook next to the sink and I am actually still on the hunt for a new toilet paper holder- but I have the old one on hand that I can always spray paint!

I am in love with this space! Even I can't believe I was able to do it for well under $100! It just goes to show that paint has magical powers to transform!


Let's take a look at the cost breakdown:
  • Paint Room- $22 (with the $10 mail in rebate on 1 gallon of paint)
  • Paint Vanity- FREE (had the paint)
  • Hand Painted Wallpaper- $3 for paint sample
  • Update Light Fixture- $40
  • Update Mirror/Accessories- FREE
  • Total: $65
For once I am WAY under budget!!!

Pin for later!

  12. Absolutely LOVE what you were able to do! I have seen some hand painted "wallpaper" looks, but have always been too chicken to try them out (which is a little silly because I could always paint over them!). I'm so glad you "went for it" and tried it! It looks amazing and is definitely a space you should be super proud of!
