$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. 
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.

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. 
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…
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. 
He has a little more surface for his glasses and water glass now. 
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. 
I exchanged the pretty flower arrangement for a plant and leaned an extra DIY art piece in front of the mirror.
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. 
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. 
Here’s our view! 
I’m really happy with how everything came together. Not bad for only being in our rental for 2 months.
The List:
Plants – a garden for the windowsill
Color – a mix of bedding and textiles from my house free
Texture – 100 yen store baskets
Interest – an eclectic mix of decor elements (from “shopping” the house) free
Lighting – DIY shell chandelier and appropriate bedside lighting
*The two window shades for the room were $80 and won’t be calculated into the makeover budget.
Purchases:
Wall hanging -$30
TV cabinet -$50
Large plant with basket -$15
Baskets and push pins -$7
Total: -$102
I’m so looking forward to seeing all the reveals this week. Enjoy!

Jamie Gilbert says
March 31, 2017 at 4:17 pmWhere did you get that blue pillow from ? Is it mud cloth?
Kathy says
April 18, 2017 at 9:05 amHmmm, maybe? I found the fabric at an import store, it’s very light weight. I bought yards of it for just a few dollars!
Christine Vandormolen says
January 11, 2018 at 2:28 amHi 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!
Kathy says
January 15, 2018 at 6:44 pmHey 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!
