Hey friends! It’s time for the $100 Room Challenge Reveal! Over the course of this month I joined a bunch of bloggers to makeover spaces for $100 or less. I decided to makeover our daughter’s walk in closet into a bright and fun modern girls closet. Here is where we started:
It’s embarrassing. Total disaster. She had a beautiful bedroom and a totally junky closet. I started by just removing all the clothes that were too big and too small. Relocating things like my scrapbook collection (why was this here anyways?!?) and painting the walls. Because I only had $100 to work with it was TIGHT.
To replace the individual light bulb I found this Crystal Light on an Amazon Warehouse Deal for $21 and spray painted it gold. I feel like it adds just the right amount of girly glam.
The wallpaper is just cutout remnants from when I wallpapered her bedroom.
I added a larger more functional mirror, eating up $14 of my small budget. It’s worth it though watching her check herself out in it daily! I also added these Brass Hooks from Target, giving her a place to hang her bags and towel.
Using some clothespins, epoxy, and a piece of scrap wood I created this headband organizer for less than $2. I love that now we can see all of her headbands on display.
The little shelf is just an Ikea Spice rack that I had on hand. I didn’t use the bar that’s supposed to go across the front so that I could fit her lotion and hair products up here. These are used daily so it’s nice to have easy access.
The new dresser is the real show stopper in here. I shared an entire post about it here. It was a $30 thrifted score that I painted with Amy Howard One Step Paint. I also spent $12 on some new drawer pulls for the dresser.
By removing some of the extra shelves this also gave us a space to store her dollhouse up and off the floor. This frequently gets brought out into her room to play with, but fits nicely here at the end of the day.
I wanted to buy these bright blue bins for storage, but they were out of my budget and ended up being too tall for the top shelf. Instead I just used these green baskets that I had on hand.
I’m so sorry for the terrible grainy photos. It turns out that photographing a small dark space is a real feat! Between trying to get a decent angle and enough light it was a real struggle!
When you count the $13 that I spent on her closet knob, I ended up spending $108 on this makeover. Honestly I’m impressed that I was able to stay so close to the budget! By having the pink paint, wallpaper remnants, and gold spray paint on hand I was able to save quite a bit. I love that now her closet fits with the rest of her bedroom! 
Just for good measure, here is a reminder of the pathetic “before” and bright and fun “after”.

It’s beautiful Jess! The pink dresser completely transforms the space. xx
Jess the closet came out so great! The dresser is so functional and adds that super fun pop – I love the other DIYs you did in here too! The headband clip board is so cute!!
Thank you so much. The headband holder has made SUCH a difference and is SO functional!
So cute Jess! And I still just love that pink color. It’s really beautiful!
Thanks! The pink is called “drama queen” and it’s totally fitting!
I’m so happy to see the dresser in the closet because my daughter just did the same thing. Sometimes it just makes sense to do that. I love the light fixture and the gold clothes pins!
Thanks friend! It does totally make sense, especially when her closet it so big and room so small! I’m loving the glam of the light too!
I love what you have done in this closet. The headband holder is genius and the pink dresser is so pretty! I agree with you on the photography. I told my husband that on this challenge, I used power tools and did a lot of painting but the hardest part, by far, was trying to photograph my powder room with no light. I did the best I could be I was not pleased with my photos.
Gah darn photography! I’ll be doing the “One Room Challenge” in a space that has a window and I’m totally looking forward to being able to photograph in natural light!
This is just the cutest closet I’ve ever seen. I’m swooning over that light fixture and the beautiful hot pink dresser. I want one for me!!! I also love how you carried over the mural into the closet. The whole space looks fabulous.
Aw thank you so much for your sweet kind comments! I think the dresser is my favorite too! I also LOVE that I was able to do a chandelier so cheap!
how could you not love all this pink?!! Great job!!
Thanks! Until recently our house had NO pink but since bringing our daughter home it’s pink overload!
What an improvement! Great job!
Thanks! It was fun to see such a drastic transformation.
I LOVE how her dresser turned out! It’s definitely a showstopper! I bet she loves getting ready in here now and it looks gorgeous with the rest of her room!
Wow such a fun space! I love all the girly elements you added and the organization!
Thank you so much! After years of all boy stuff it’s fun to be able to do some girls stuff!
Adorable!!!! What a cute and stylish space for your daughter!
Thank you! It’s such a sweet fun space!
That chandelier in the closet is awesome! Now I want one in my closet. It’s such a beautiful and girly space. I love it!
I know it’s for a kid but… I want this closet! I love that fuschia dresser and I will definitely be making a headband organizer like that for my little girl. What a great idea!
The headband organizer was the easiest and cheapest DIY of this whole space! I totally recommend it!
How cute is this closet?! It’s got to be the happiest closet I’ve ever seen. LOVE the headband rack with all the clothespins. Brilliant! And the light fixture is perfect. Being that you bought and redid a dresser, I think only going over $8 is incredible! I am SO happy you joined this challenge. Awesome job!!!
You’re too sweet. I was pretty happy about only going over by $8 too!
