It’s finally reveal week for the $100 room makeover challenge and I couldn’t be more thrilled with how this project has turned out. If you missed the first three weeks of this challenge, you can find them here, here, and here.
I set out to completely refresh my bathroom for under $100 using Milk Paint by Fusion. The bathroom is part of my Master bedroom and it just didn’t flow with the room since I refreshed it last Spring. (read about it here…)
Here is the bathroom before the refresh began…
I had planned to replace the builder mirror (with a vintage one) and the counter (with a wood one) but our Covid lockdown and some industrial strength adhesive put a stop to both of those. I was still able to tackle a significant list of projects though. They included…
Painting the counter
Painting the cabinets
Replacing the cabinet hardware
Painting and hanging a vintage cabinet
and Creating a new piece of art from an old window
All in all the changes I was able to make completely transformed the small, windowless room. It looks so much brighter and lighter now as well as looking more cohesive with the Bedroom.
The Bedroom
And once again, here is the Bathroom before…
and after…
It is absolutely amazing what a little bit of paint and elbow grease can do!

This bathroom flows so well with your bedroom now! I love the wall decor you made, along with the addition of the little shelf over the toilet. And everything looks so fresh with a new coat of paint. I am so glad you joined the $100 Room Challenge (and yes… most Canadian participants use US dollars 🙂 ). Enjoy your new space!
