$100 Room Challenge-Faux Shiplap Wall with Hooks

Welcome back to week 3 of the $100 Room Challenge where a group of bloggers makeover a room and they cannot spend more than $100 which isn’t easy to do.

Just to remind you, this challenge was created and organized by Erin from Lemon’s, Lavender, and Laundry. Let’s look at the room before the makeover.

I really made a lot of progress this week but I can’t show the completed projects to you yet because it will give away the reveal. I completed painting my cabinets. I purchased all the supplies to paint the floors.

The Project

I repainted the baseboards and the doors because they needed to be brightened up now that the cabinets are white.  

I knew this wall needed help but I wanted to do something without spending any money. I have money in my budget but I wanted to show that you can use things that you have around the house. I also wanted this area to be functional. I first did a faux shiplap wall as I did in the fall challenge and I had the supplies left over. You can do this wall project for under $5.

I will be painting the floors this week so I wasn’t worried about the floor. I found a board in our scrap that I cut and secured to the wall. I had money in the budget to purchase hooks for the wall but I did not want this project to cost anything and I did not want to put on real clothes and go to the store. I removed the hooks from the mirror that you see in the “Before” picture. I repurposed the hooks by screwing them into the board. I think that it looks great!

I am dragging stuff from around the house for decor and I am sure I will keep it up until I am happy with the look. This week, I will be searching for something to make some art for above the hooks.
