Small Master Bathroom Makeover for the $100 Challenge

January 3, 2018 by Ashley Mayes 41 Comments

It’s that time of year where I want to do so many things to my spaces yet we just went through Christmas and birthdays so money is not flowing as well as usual. Anyone get that?! I love love love when January rolls around though because Erin from Lemons, Lavender and Laundry hosts the $100 Room Challenge during January. Even with a tighter budget this month, we can definitely do $100. If you aren’t familiar with this challenge, the only rules are that you only have the month of January and you can only spend $100. It’s challenging, but really helps me think outside the box on ways to help beautify a space on the cheap. We have so many spaces that need complete renovations; and, although that isn’t going to happen with $100, a space that we constantly live in and hate CAN be changed with that amount. If you are rolling your eyes and thinking… “yeah, right…”, I urge you to stick around. I’ll prove you wrong. =) Without further adieu, let me introduce you to my space!

Small Master Bathroom Makeover for the $100 Challenge

Small Master Bathroom Makeover

I guess before I shared the intro picture, I probably should have showed you the last $100 challenge that I completed. So, let’s backtrack just a bit. Last year, this was our bathroom:

Old Bathroom Nook

I’ve never been a fan of yellow, so why I painted (yes, I painted it) the wall yellow, one will never know. Anyways, it desperately needed some help. $87 dollars later…

Amazing bathroom transformation on a budget

SO MUCH BETTER! Right?! If you missed the $87 Before and After Bathroom Update, make sure to go check it out.

So, back to the space that I’m tackling this time around. The bathroom that I’m working on is connected to last year’s $87 bathroom nook. If you look above to the picture, the bathroom area that I’m tackling now is to the right through the door frame.

When you leave our bedroom, cross into the nook area, you see this:

Lovely, right? Ha!

I thought it would be fun for this challenge to give you a video series of each week. So, each week, there will be video with how the week went down as well as photos. This week is a walkthrough that explains exactly what I hope to do during the next month. I hope you enjoy it!

So, do you think I’m crazy?! When I look at pictures like this:

Budget Friendly Bathroom Ideas

or this:

Old dated bathroom before the 100 Room Challenge

or this:A Dated bathroom can be updated on a small budget!

I totally feel crazy to try to accomplish so much on so little. That being said, the space can ONLY GET BETTER, which I’m excited about, and I’m sure my guests are excited about too (because this is the only working shower we have in our house and have had in the house for the last 4+ years)!

I’d love to have you follow along on the Small Master Bathroom Makeover journey on my YouTube channel. Just hit subscribe and you are good to go.

Now, prepare to be inspired because here’s the rest of the gang that are participating in the challenge!

    Ohhh, those showers! The one in our master bath was like that and we just covered it with a shower curtain rather than replace it. I would have loved to do a tile one instead!

    Look forward to following along with your update!!

      I wouldn’t mind the shower if the doors could be cleaned but they are so disgusting.

    Have you tried a door stopper you can install on your door hinge so you can keep the bathroom door?

      We haven’t but the door opened on the inside and you couldn’t get in the shower when it was open. It was just super tight.

    Can’t wait to see it! I love the first makeover. I am about to paint my guest bath – walls and cabinets! Is that Iron Ore? I am using either that or graphite {I have both on hand}.

      Yay! Thanks Gabby! The paint color is Cracked Pepper by Behr – similar to Iron Ore though!

    Hi Ashley,

    I participated in that challenge last January and remember your nook transformation well. You did such a great job I can’t wait to see what you have up your sleeve with the adjoining master bath.

      Thanks Patti! It should be pretty similar to the nook because its the adjoining space.

    That’s so funny, my upstairs bathroom used to be yellow and I hate yellow – I don’t know why I would ever paint it that color! I love your bathroom transformation, can’t wait to see what you do with this one!

    That trim around the shower is so funny. Bet you could just remove it and patch! Don’t think you need trim around those shower units usually?
