Welcome to our September challenge! This month we’ve taken on (once again) the $100 Room Makeover! All it takes is $100, and one room needing an overhaul, update, refresh, restyle, or makeover. Just a few months ago I showed you my $100 laundry closet makeover. This month I’m doing a bathroom makeover on the “world’s smallest bathroom”! Our downstairs guest bathroom, or powder room, is only 30″ across. I can stand in this room and touch both walls with my elbows! You’ve probably seen a lot of the work we’ve done already in this room (Scroll down to find links if you haven’t.) but here’s what it looked like when I started this step:
The Purple Hydrangea – Powder Room Makeover Under $100
1915 House – Small Budget Big Makeover Dining Room
Duct Tape and Denim – $100 Bathroom Makeover
Pearl Street Designs – $100 Home Office Makeover
My Thrifty House – Glamper Living Room Makeover
Shop At Blu – $100 Bathroom Makeover
Farmhouse Made – Affordable Dining Room Refresh… for $100

$100 Bathroom Makeover
We just finished a remodel and I didn’t include that in the total… although it was pretty cheap, it wasn’t under $100. So I started with a blank slate. A tiny gray and white room. I specifically chose the colors so that I could switch out decor as seasons, or my moods, changed. I showed you the painting process and what paint I used for last month’s challenge.
This month I decided to style it with some of my favorite farmhouse style pieces and just a little touch of fall color.
We made a trip to Ikea for some faux plants, galvanized pots, and candles to use this fall. And here’s the hand sanitizer I updated last week.
I’m kinda liking turquoise, teal, and aqua in my fall decorating this year! One of my bathroom budget tips is to use kitchen towels for guest room hand towels. Kitchen towels are always so much cheaper!
I can’t tell you how impressed I am with this sink paint. Did you see how I painted it?
On the back of the toilet I added a white farmhouse pitcher, also from Ikea. It’s filled with wheat leftover from Jordann’s wedding centerpieces. I’ve been saving all the dried florals and grasses and using them every fall.
I’ve had the cheese box for a while. I think I got it at Room With a Past. I filled it with some things our guests might need in a bathroom. The California board was something I was just practicing on when I made this earring holder for Walnut Hollow. I liked the board so much I’ve been displaying it in different places around my house.
I’ve been wanting a tobacco basket for a long time so when I saw it on sale at Hobby Lobby I snatched it up! The cotton wreath came from Hobby Lobby, too. Part of their fall decor for 40% off!
Here’s the “whole” room. It’s a really hard room to take a picture of without seeing me. Got any photography suggestions for me?
And I may eventually put something on that long(er) wall. What do you think?
Here’s the rundown on the prices:
- tobacco basket, Hobby Lobby, $17.99
- cotton wreath, Hobby Lobby, $5.99
- cheese box, vintage, $8.00
- pitcher, Ikea, $9.99
- wheat, Hobby Lobby, $6.99
- blue towel, Target, $4.99
- red towel, Target, $3.00
- red candle, Ikea, $3.99
- plant, Ikea, $4.99
- galvanized planter, Ikea, $1.00
This makes my total only $67.47! I could have included the supplies we used for making the mirror frame and still been under $100!

Ann you are the budget queen! I love the kitchen towel idea in the bathroom! Super thrifty! And the Ikea items are perfect. There is an art to photographing tiny rooms…I have no idea what it is but I’ve heard…haha. Lovely makeover. I’m headed to read about that painted sink!!
That cheese box is amazing. I am also impressed with your painted sink.
Have a great weekend.
Such cute accessories you found!! And your bathroom is adorable… 😀
Fabulous decor!!! You got that tobacco basket for a steal! I need to go shopping with you 🙂 Bravo..a room well done 🙂
Ann I am loving your tiny bathroom makeover. Great use of a small space. I also can’t get over that you painted that sink which is something I need to do myself. Love it all….great job.
I like it a lot! Very pretty and simple. The only thing I would suggest is a hand towel rack or loop of some kind. If you don’t want to put holes in the wall you could always get one of those that hook over a cabinet door. Very nice small bathroom! Good job.
Yes! I actually have one that I was going to refinish for this project but I forgot!!! You’ll probably see it in a future post. Thanks for reminding me!
That is one cozy bathroom! It looks adorable, I love the frame and the tobacco basket – I almost bought one last time I was there, and had instant FOMO. That sink looks amazing painted!
Very nice! I loved the compliment of colors and textures on the vanity and over the toilet.
Great job!
Thanks for sharing.
Before the open house, bake some cookies. The smell of fresh cookies will give people that homey feeling. Leave on a plate in kitchen with some napkins. Remove personal things, pictures, so people can picture their own things there. Neutral colors are easier on the eye for most people or subdued. Yellow front doors are supposed to be sign of a happy home. Find a St Joseph statue and bury in front yard upside down facing the road.
You’ve added a lot of interest to a small room. Guess adding more now that you are moving is a moot point, huh? My full bathroom–still tiny–has walls filled with my Monet prints. Doesn’t everyone do their art appreciation when drying off after a shower???LOL
