It’s officially Week 3 of the $100 Challenge. This week it’s all about the Drywall Repairs in the Small Master Bathroom Makeover. I promise that I did more than drywall repairs, but drywalling does take lots of time. Be prepared to see a bit more demo, drywall and more in the video this week!

Play catch-up if you missed Week 1 or Week 2.

I’m sure the neighbors behind us have been loving our window treatments. They SHOULD love us though because if that wasn’t up there, they’d be seeing more of us than they would wish to see. LOL.

As you can tell from these pictures, drywall has been put up!

Week 3 of the $100 Bathroom Makeover

Watch how the week went down:

If you loved the video, I’d absolutely love it if you’d subscribe to my YouTube Channel.

So, lots accomplished, don’t you think? The drywall process takes a few days so there was quite a bit of waiting for dry times, but still… I think we accomplished a lot!

Alright, let’s talk about the budget.

My Budget is $100 

So far, I’ve spent:

  • Light Parts $30.33
  • Drywall Supplies $22.43
  • Bathroom Shower Rod, Rings and Liner $29.76
  • Extra Drywall Supplies $9.78
  • Light Box $3.38
  • Thrifted Shower Curtain $3.99
  • Bath Rug $16.49

= $116.16

So, yep… I’m OVER-Budget. I had to buy extra drywall supplies and I thought that my original light would have the wiring ran through a light box, but no! So, we are doing everything the right way and spending extra to get things up to code. BUT, I don’t expect to spend a single cent more.

I have to say that I’m totally disappointed in coming in over-budget. I really thought I’d be able to do this makeover on $100. Whomp, whomp.

My goal though is to not spend a single penny more! Hold me to it, will you?!

Ok, ready to be inspired by all the other challenge participants?

  1. well in theory you were under budget last time, so maybe you can carry that money over! 🙂 The removal of the brass shower glass made a huge difference, it looks like a new shower!

  2. Wow, it really is looking so much fresher already. I would not have thought about taking off the door which now I can see is going to look great!

  5. What a difference removing the glass door make! I think it’s always a good idea to spend a little extra to do things the correct way, instead of cutting corners.

  9. Such a huge difference from just taking off the shower doors! I think that”s totally ok you were a little over budget. $100 isn’t much at all. Bathrooms are a lot of work! I just finished doing a whole bathroom renovation including all new dry wall, vanity, tub,faucets, toilet and tile for under $1000! Im thinking if you don’t do dry wall up to the shower doors you could put a tile boarder. Maybe any left over tile from the kitchen renovation? Just a thought, lol.

  11. You did GREAT this week! I’m inspired by the removal of your shower surround – I have a nasty door on my shower as well and I’m dying to take it off. The result can’t be any worse than the door being on there! lol

  14. I don’t see the paint costs in your budget? Even if you already owned it, shouldn’t it be added to the costs? It’s really tough to do much with only $100 these days. Looking good!
