Guess what day it is!? Bathroom makeover reveal day!
If your bathroom is in need of a makeover but you can’t afford a renovation or you’re a fellow renter so renovating is out of the question, this blog post was made for you!
I’m amazed what we did to this bathroom for just $100. You can see all the other bloggers’ $100 Room Challenge room makeovers linked below.
A reminder this is how the bathroom started:

We painted the walls Krypton by Sherwin Williams. I really love the color.
As for everything else in the room, you may recall this was the bathroom design plan: (the images are clickable if you’re interested in anything pictured. You may have to double click on mobile.)
We stuck pretty close to it with a few changes. The wooden spool turned towel rack definitely wasn’t in the plans, but when I found the wooden spool, I knew I had to use it.
It’s probably one of my favorite DIYs to date and it took literally five minutes to hang up. I just love it!
I had visions of a white-framed beachy distressed mirror in here, but when I found this white and blue one, I had to buy it.
I knew the blue would either look absolutely perfect or absolutely terrible against the wall color, and it totally works!
If you’re renting, too, keep in mind, you can totally swap out bathroom mirrors to spruce up a bathroom while you live there!
My mom found this awesome storage tower at TJ Maxx, and I love it! Again with the blue wood, who knew?!
It’s the perfect little piece for storage in here, and we can definitely reuse it in a different room in the future if we need to. It doesn’t look too ‘bathroom-y’. (Is that a a word? Sure.)
If you’re looking for affordable storage, I shared my favorite affordable storage towers here.
By the way, it’s basically impossible to take pictures in a really small bathroom so excuse the weird angles on some of these pictures. I did my best!
This ‘Today is a good day for a good day’ sign is one of my favorite DIYs. It started as a plain wood tray. The letters are darker in real life than they look in photos. You can see the DIY rustic sign tutorial or you can buy a similar sign here.
I love the little details in room makeovers. Like this beachy garbage can. The rope handles tie in perfectly with the rope holding our towel rack.
We found this beautiful soap dispenser for $2 (yes, $2!!!) at a local decor store.
We’re still debating swapping out the light fixtures in here, but we didn’t have time to do anything about that just quite yet. (Here are the affordable farmhouse sconces I’m looking at.) Stay tuned!
GET THE LOOK:
Since a popular question I get is “Where’d you get that?!,” here are links to the same or similar sources:
We bought some things on sale and already had a few things, which got us to this makeover for $100.
- Wall color: Krypton by Sherwin Williams
- Mirror from Kirkland’s (I can’t find it online or I’d share a link!)
- Wooden spool from a flea market (similar here, here, here, here and here)
- Garbage can from Marshall’s (similar here)
- Soap dispenser (similar here)
- Hand towel
- Storage tower from TJ Maxx (Here’s a list of similar affordable storage towers)
- Shutters came with the house (similar here or here)
- Nightlight
- ‘Today is a good day for a good day’ rustic sign (DIY) or similar here

I absolutely LOVE this bathroom makeover! The blue walls look so good, and that spool towel holder is so perfect. I was actually going to go to the vintage shops this weekend and look for one, but instead I worked on the living room, so I’ll have to go another time. Amazing job in here! I am SO glad you joined in the challenge!
