Hello, hello.  Welcome back to the $100 Room Makeover challenge hosted by Lemons, Lavender, and Laundry week 3!  Participating bloggers have all month to transform a space with a restricted budget and I’m taking on our rental bathroom.   This week I’m sharing 3 renter friendly DIYs to add personality to a rental bathroom. one-room-challenge-graphic

3 Renter Friendly DIYs for the Bathroomrenter friendly diys for the bathroom

DIY #1:  “Wallpapered” shelves

Last week I shared our pretty new bathroom vanity from the landlord and I’ve enjoyed giving it some personality.  First the open vanity shelves had stickers and shelf notches that I wanted to cover.   I decided to add a floral print with leftover origami paper and command strips.

DIY #2:  Stick on tiles 

The oh so amazing 100 yen store here has just about everything including the bathroom rugs I mentioned last week and 3D stick on tiles.

I lined 3 sets of them up right above the sink and used the 4th for a Moroccan inspired tray for The Global Styler.

Tip:  Use fingernail polish remover and toothpaste (or baking soda) to remove sticky residue or glue left over from tiles when it’s time to take them off.

I really love all the Mediterranean blue and white in the space.

DIY #3:  Storage with painted baskets

The baskets I bought for the bamboo shelf were the perfect size to use as “drawers” but were plain.  I used chalk paint I had on hand to paint a stripe on each basket and them embellished it with a sharpie marker.

  1. Those tiles are awesome! I love the blues and of course how easy they are to use! Great idea to use command strips – I bet those solve a lot of problems in a rental. 🙂
