Week 3 of The $100 Room Challenge
It’s week 3 of the $100 Room Challenge. I can’t believe how fast it’s flying by! I got a lot done this week, although it may not look like it. A lot of tiny, behind the scenes stuff that you have to do, but really doesn’t show up that much.
A month or so ago I was at a clients home and she asked if I wanted an old chandelier.
Why, yes I did!
I love old chandeliers.
Can you say Granny chic?
I took this one home and cleaned it up, not really sure what I was going to do with it.
Until a few weeks ago.
The Hubs graciously hung the chandelier in the guest bedroom for me this past week.
I LOVE it!
So much better than the old beige ceiling fan.
I found new curtains.
Not exactly what I wanted, but they are cute, I couldn’t beat the price and my oldest son who is the one usually staying in this room loves them.
Sold!
I found an old black curtain rod hanging out in the guest room closet and decided to use it.
I sprayed it Rust-0-leum metallic gold and the curtains were ready to be hung.
The package said that the curtains were 95 inches long.
I used that measurement to determine the height of the rod.
However, once I hung the curtains they were not the same length all the way across and they were too long.
So I left them hanging, turned them up and pinned them the correct length.
Then hand sewed them.
So glad that’s done!
I couldn’t find artwork for the bedroom that I loved, so decided to paint my own.
This is my inspiration piece.
It would have been perfect except it’s got a black background, which won’t work in my room.
And it says “Gather”.
Not really for a guest room.
Cute, but I’m changing it up a bit to go with my room.
I’m not even close to being finished, but I did get started on it.
I have also started on a updating a few other accessories for the room, but still have a way to go to finish them up.
So how much have I spent so far?
This week’s total:
I bought curtains for $7.25 each, gold metallic spray paint, and a faux plant for $28.49.
Combined with last weeks expenditures I have spent a total of : $59.18.
Which I feel like isn’t too bad.
I still have to make up my mind about what color I’m going to paint the dresser and nightstands.
Finish up the accessories and pull it all together in the next 2 weeks.
Fingers crossed!

Cindy
Thank you Cindy. So far everything is staying on budget… fingers crossed it stays that way!
Tammy the bedroom is coming along great. Love the curtains. I had that happen to a pair of curtains I purchased at Walmart. Decided not to hang them the way they were suppose to but use curtain ring hooks. Made them a little longer and you can clip them to flow on the floor better. Just a tip I learned before.
Great idea Terrie! I did learn my lesson to measure the curtains before hanging though….
The curtains are cute- and so affordable too! Love the gold on the curtain rod, and the chandy is perfect! I can’t wait to see your wreath artwork complete- it looks great so far
Thank you Jackie!
I love the artwork and curtains.The colors are just so bold and beautiful.
The colors are really bold – stepping WAY out of my comfort zone on this bedroom!
I love that artwork! I can’t wait to see the reveal!
Thanks Lia!
Don’t you love when you have something on hand and finally figure out the perfect place to put it?! Everything is coming together beautifully… and that painting! I can’t wait to see how you finish it up, but it looks gorgeous.
Thank you so much Erin! That means a lot coming from you! Yes, I do love using – or reusing what I have on hand. Makes it worth convincing my husband that I really do need all my stuff. lol!
