$100 Room Makeover

hosted by Lemons, Lavender, and Laundry 

week 1: inspiration | week 2: update | week 3:  DIY basket wall art | week 4: reveal

Let’s do a quick recap..   We are in a traditional Japanese home in Iwakuni, Japan.  The bedroom is small but has plenty of closet space and natural light.   Here’s how it looked a month ago. japanese rental bedroom before $100 makeover bedroom-makeover-builtins-before in Japanese rental home bedroom vanity before makeover

The inspiration board I shared with my plans in the first week.  I’ve been infusing global eclectic style throughout our home so I knew that I wanted to take that direction with our bedroom too.global-eclectic-master-bedroom-inspiration for $100 room makeover

The reveal:

Goodbye boring walls and floors, now when you walk into the room you see my DIY basket wall art!

I decided at the last minute to move the chair into our room from downstairs and I’m so glad I did.  It looks perfect in the corner and helps balance the other side of the room. bedroom corner $100 room makeover

The bedding I already had.  I would have loved to throw in a kilim pillow or two (with all the painted basket colors) but it wasn’t in the budget.  Maybe down the road…$100 room makeover Japanese rental

I found a solution for my husband’s side of the bed.  The side table is so tiny, I opted for a pretty gold mercury lamp (IKEA) and a tall basket (Pier One) on the wall to fill the empty space. bedside table decor $100 room makeover

He has a little more surface for his glasses and water glass now.  small bedside table decor I moved the tall lamp that was on his side to my side.  Its narrow base opened up more room on my desk turned vanity. renter friendly bedroom on a budgetuse a desk for a vanity

I exchanged the pretty flower arrangement for a plant and leaned an extra DIY art piece in front of the mirror.plants in master bedroom makeover

We found the perfect solution for the tv (I shared a little peek last week.)  This pretty cabinet is the right height and has beautiful carvings and colors on the drawer fronts. eclectic global style rental bedroom tv stand ideas tall black cabinet

The garden window was tricky because I had planned on using most our budget for plants but it went towards the cabinet.  I was able to purchase one live plant (with a mix of plants in it) and group it with faux plants and shells I had around the house. garden window ideas on a budget garden window ideas on a budget

    Your bedroom is beautiful. I love the way you mix and match texture with color and prints. It definitely lives up to your Global Eclectic title. And that cabinet! So great and worth the money. Great job.

    Wow! What a difference! The basket above your husband’s night stand is perfect. And your view is amazing. I’m gathering plants for our master bedroom, and I really like what you did with yours. Great inspiration!

    Incredible! I really love all you’ve done with this space and how you mix different styles and periods and textures and patterns together – it’s amazing how cohesive it all ends up being. Not everyone can do that successfully but you more than pulled it off.. Just LOVE it!

    Hi Kathy, wow congrats on the move to Japan. How exciting!!! I hope you are feeling at home ! Tiny bedroom but cozy! I love what you did, the capiz caught my eye! Where did you get it from? I see a different one in the list above than the one you have hanging (I think)? Christine from Little Brags!

      Hey Christine! We just love it here. We were two years in Okinawa but we moved to mainland Japan about a year ago. The capiz pendant my friend bought for me as a bday present. I’m pretty sure she snagged it from one of the military gift shops in Japan so I don’t have the resource for it. It’s not a light, just the shells!
