Welcome to week 3 of the $100 room makeover challenge. Have you been following along with the other bloggers? I find them very inspiring and can’t wait to see what they come up with this week.

Just as a recap, this post is part of the $100 Room Makeover challenge organized by Erin from Lemons Lavender and Laundry. Each blogger picked a room in their home to a makeover with a budget of only $100. 

Don’t forget to check out all of their updates at the bottom of this post.

$100 Room Makeover: Week 3 – Windows and Wall Art

This week I tackled the window and made some simple wall art. As you may recall from this before picture, I’m using the painting on the right as my inspiration piece. I would have loved to hang it above the headboard but it is simply too big. Last week I created some fun hand drawn wall art to fill in above the headboard, and now I needed to fill in the big empty space on the left.

Botanical calendar for gallery wall.

I’m a huge fan of botanical prints, and I was delighted when my friend gave me this beauty last year to hang in my office. Since 2016 is over I thought I’d create a gallery of these prints to fill the empty space on the wall.

Botanical print from a calendar makes great wall art.

I chose 6 of the calendar months that had a pinkish tone, to complement the painting, and cut them down to fit an 8 x 10 frame.

Dollar store 8x10 frame.Then I purchased 6 frames from the dollar store. Using leftover gray spray paint from a previous project I sprayed the frames to soften their look and hung them in a 3 x 2 grid on the wall.

Bedroom makeover wall art from old calendar.

I love the look, and it only cost $6.49 for the frames. If you like this look don’t worry because I wrote a whole post called Beautiful Botanical Prints. This post contains links to several places on the web where you can download pretty botanical prints for free.

The Window Update

The other area I conquered this week was the window. The old pinch pleated sheers offered some privacy but there are blinds there too, and the sheers were so dated looking. The window looked much better without the drapes. I even thought about leaving it as is, with just the blinds. However, I decided it was too bare, so I purchased a cute inexpensive curtain rod and a white scarf valance.

Fresh eucalyptus garland on bedroom window makeover

Then while shopping with my sister and girl friend, I couldn’t resist picking up a bunch of fresh seeded eucalyptus. I used it to make a simple garland, and attached it to the curtain rod. This cost me $6.99 but I know from experience that it will dry to a pretty gray/silver color and last for a long time. You can see how I made a similar garland with the dried eucalyptus in this DIY Seeded Eucalyptus Garland project.

The room is really starting to come together, and do you know, my husband really likes it.

I still have a couple of other updates, along with the big reveal next week.

Stop back and see how it all turned out.

    Simple changes sometimes make the biggest impact. The grid of botanical prints is genius and looks fabulous and I adore the swag and garland window treatment. It’s really coming together beautifully!

    I’m so inspired by watching you transform this room each week. I absolutely love the frames calendar prints and that’s a fantastic way to keep enjoying something that’s no longer useful for its original purpose. I’m looking forward to the total reveal next week!

    Love the way you pull the garden into the bedroom. It makes it feel so fresh. It’s awesome that the frames were only a $1! They really look great – you’d never know. I am really looking forward to seeing everyone’s final reveal, aren’t you?! So many great ideas!

    What a great idea to frame photos you already had from last year’s calendar! Don’t you love reusing things like that?
