It is reveal day and I am so excited to show you my $100 Room Challenge-Laundry Room! I want to thank Erin from Lemon’s, Lavender, and Laundry for creating this challenge. We have to makeover a room and we can not spend more than $100 for this challenge. I spent $36!

Laundry room makeover for the $100 Room Challenge with buffalo check painted floors.

 

Let’s look at my laundry room before.

Now, let’s look at the before and after side-by-side.

Laundry Room Makeover for under $100.

Total Spent $36

I love doing laundry in there now. That’s a lie but I do enjoy walking in my laundry room now. The best thing about this makeover is that it I spent under $40 because I did everything with paint and I am going to tell you how much it will cost to do these projects yourself and it is under $50. You can do these projects even if you are not gifted in art. Visit the blog post to see how.

How to organize your paint.

DIYers always have a fabulous paint stash which is usually from leftover projects.

The first thing I did was paint the cabinets with leftover paint that I used on my kitchen cabinets. Total spent $0

I needed a backsplash but I did not want to spend any money so I did a Faux Marble Subway Backsplash and you can visit the post for the tutorial, supplies, and to see how I reused items that I had in the room. Total spent $0. It will cost around $8 plus a piece of scrap board to do this project if you have to purchase supplies.

After

Visit Faux Shiplap Wall for the tutorial and supplies. $0. It will cost $3 to do this project if you need to purchase the supplies.

The floor is where I spent my money. The natural stone tile floor is over 10 years old and it needed updating. I have seen so many beautiful painted floors using stencils but I wanted to do something very different and I did not want to purchase a stencil. I have seen Better Homes and Gardens share how to paint buffalo plaid on a floor and I thought that it would be a fun project. Visit my How I painted Buffalo Check Floors to see the very important tips if you want to do this project yourself.

I purchased Glidden Gripper Primer $10. I purchased Valspar Porch Paint in a dark blue and white for $13 each. You need four colors so I mixed the dark blue and white to make two of the colors. Total spent $36.

I love how thick the porch paint is and it dries almost immediately. I have never painted with anything like it and I feel like this will hold up well. I will update soon.

You can view the full tutorial for How I Painted a Buffalo Check Floor.

Total Spent:$36

If I would have had to purchase all of the supplies, it would have cost me $47 plus the cost of paint for the cabinets.

I love how the $100 Room Makeover Laundry Room turned out. It makes me smile when I walk into the room.  The best part is that I spent under $100 for this makeover.

    Lol. We have some of those old ugly oak cabinets too. It’s amazing how much nicer a room can look once you’ve painted them. Love all your other touches like the faux shiplap. Great job!

    WOW! Your before picture looks just like a kitchen I picked out for our former house, oak cabinets and a beige tile floor just like that. What a fantastic update, and so affordable!!!!!! This truly attests to the power of paint and creativity! Awesome job.

    Would love to know how the paint on the floor holds up! We have a small powder room I did for the last $100 Room Challenge, but I’m not a huge fan of the beige color.
