This is week two with the $100 challenge and it’s all about the Bathroom Design Plan today. If you are new here and have no idea what I’m talking about then let me catch you up. Erin from Lemons, Lavender and Laundry has challenged herself for a few years now to refresh a room for under $100. This year, she decided to see who wanted to tackle a room with her and blog about it together. Being the crazy person that I am, I said yes! =)
So, I’m tackling our master bathroom nook for under $100.
Let’s be honest here, $100 doesn’t go far at all. So, this is not going to be a remodel… what this is going to be is a refresh. I actually love the requirements around this challenge – spend under $100 because I think this is doable for most of us.
Ok, so real quick… here’s where the bathroom was last week. Or, check out last week’s post for more pictures and details.
Not ugly per say, but totally not me.
My current style is definitely not the same as it was a few years ago.
I posted on Facebook (hey, hop over there and like me if you haven’t already!), this image:
I asked which one everyone liked. I was happy to hear that everyone liked the left side better. I do too!
So, that help firm up my plan for the space.

That’ll look so good!
Thanks girl!
It is amazing what a big impact $100 can make when you lay out the plan! I love what you have chosen and can’t wait to see it come to life!
I know, right?! I wouldn’t have thought I’d be excited about this space but I am.
Love the black vanity and I can’t wait to see your DIY light fixture.
Thanks Monica! I just got the light parts today so I’m super excited!
Using black for the vanity will be a huge change but a good one and it’s always fun to change it up. Especially for a refresh. You can always paint it again.
Yes, I think so! I hope I love it.
Paint always makes such a big difference. Looking forward to seeing how it all turns out.
For sure and it’s cheap (free in this case!).
The plan looks great. I think the dark vanity will really flow with the rest of your house.
Thanks Carrie! I’m hoping that it feels more cohesive without actually remodeling (later, we want to do that but we have to have the budget first).
Both of your options look awesome, but I think the dark vanity is more your style. I would love wither! I can’t wait to see it painted!
Me too! Thanks Brittany!
I think the dark color will be stunning for your bathroom nook cabinetry. In regard to stripping your hardware have you considered the crock pot method? My niece did that on her vintage buffet hardware and she said it worked like a charm, though I’ve never tried it. Looking forward to your next phase!
I’m doing that method right now! Hoping it works. Thanks AmY!
Love the black vanity option! being a lover of white paint, this one is brilliant and it w ill look so classy.

Thanks Maria!
I like the left image also. It’s going to look so great, and will be a fun departure from what you had before!
I think so too!
I love the black option. But then, I love black cabinets. Can’t wait to see what you choose!
I like them too! Thanks Eliesa!
Yes! I love the left too! It’s gonna be great!
Yay, thanks Colleen!
I can’t wait to see how it turns out!
Thanks Jillian! I’m hoping it turns out good!
Love the dark vanity color! The design plan is beautiful. 🙂
Thanks Carol! I really like it too!
Definitely the left one! So classy!
Thanks so much! That’s what I went with.
I love the round mirror! and the rug is super pretty too!
Thanks! I’m still not sure the budget will work for the mirror but we shall see!
Love that black vanity! This refresh is going to look amazing!
Thanks Erin! I hope so!
Yes! I agree the left photo!
Yay! Me too!
Love the left!!
Sweet! That’s what I went with.
Ooh! I can’t wait to see it!
Thank you! I’m ready to cross that finish line.
I love the darker option. It will look great coming off of your bedroom. Can’t wait to see it all come together!
Thanks Angie! The darker cabinets are looking good.
