The $100 Room Challenge

The $100 Room Challenge is a bi-yearly challenge that is created by Erin from Lemons, Lavender, and Laundry. A group of bloggers have to completely transform a room but must not spend more than $100. This small budget demands creativity, DIY projects, and bargain shopping.

Room Before

$100 vintage inspired bedroom makeover

A few years ago, we purchased a major fixer-upper on a lake 40 minutes from our house. The house had not been lived in for a couple of years. It was in such bad condition that everyone who saw the inspection walked away. Let’s just say that this home was definitely in our price range. It was priced less than what the lot was worth. The home is on a beautiful level lot in a beautiful neighborhood. Our lake house was built in the 1960s and was originally a tiny fish camp. An older couple that we bought the house from did all the renovations themselves. Our walls are not straight, the ceilings are a little unlevel, but hey, it’s on a lake!

We first made the house livable with new sheetrock, plumbing, electrical, and other basic renovations. I am slowly decorating the home like I want it to be. The room that I am making over is the guest bedroom and it has become a room where we throw everything that we are not using.

I want to make the room functional and beautiful.

 

Lately, I have been drawn to rooms with vintage items, antique furniture, and old art.

The Projects

Painted the bed black

My first thought is to purchase a bed from a Thrift Store. The more I look at the white bed, I knew I can save budget money by repainting it. I am so glad that I did. Paint $24.

DIY faux shiplap with a Sharpie.

I created a DIY Faux Vertical Shiplap with a Sharpie. You can read the tutorial for the Faux Shiplap. $6

chair

So I recovered a chair with a fur blanket that I already had. You can see the tutorial for the Recovered Chair. Total $0

Bedroom makeover for the $100 room challenge

The art above the bed has been moved around from room to room. I love that it is a picture of a house by a lake.

$100 Vintage Inspired Bedroom

The sconces were found at a Thrift Store several months ago. I came across the adorable shades last week. Total for sconces $10. 2 thrifted side tables $30. A thrifted clock for $3 was painted for the table. I styled the table with books and items that I already owned.

chenille bedspread

The chenille bedspread was a thrift store find many years ago. We love the way the chenille feels when you cover up with it.

diy pillows

The brown pillows are made with thrifted material that I already had. A no-sew green velvet pillow was made with a thrifted valance and fabric glue. You can see the tutorial for the pillow here.

chair and curtains for the bedroom makeover

I painted the existing curtain rod black. The curtains were found at the Thrift Store for $3. I had the vintage art in my garage for several years.

painted landscape

I found the vintage art at a Thrift Store and I painted a landscape. The beautiful gold frame has been in my attic for years.

    Wow! I just love what you did here. My favorite is the vintage nightstands. I love the idea of a lake house, so fun and a great place to make memories!

    Every time you join this challenge you blow me away with what you can do! This room is gorgeous! Painting the bed made such a huge difference in here. And I need to take you with me to the thrift stores because (WOW!) you always find such good stuff for so little money! Another absolutely beautiful room makeover!

  3. Meredith at The Palette Muse says

    This is my dream, to buy a fixer upper on a lake, and I LOVE how you’ve transformed this room! I’m so glad you chose to save and paint the bed, and that wall treatment is gorgeous. Every touch you put in here works so well together. Beautiful makeover!

    So inviting and just as cozy as your inspiration photos. Great job. Painting the bed black and covering the chair with the blanket are my favorite projects. And I love all the artwork too. Congrats on a room well done!

  7. Michelle Leslie says

    Wow, Sherry. Love everything you did with less than $100. It just shows you what can be done with a little imagination and really clever ideas. That shiplap wall is so creative and love your furry chair. It looks like a great place to cuddle up with a book or three.

    You are so talented what a great job with the lake house! Probably doubled the value in today’s market! Cheers!

    Great job and so pretty. I am loving that green no-sew pillow it ads such character and brings out the green in the paintings. The chenille spread adds great texture. Pinned!
