The lowdown on the craft studio {source list + budget}

You guys, I am currently sitting here in my newly-created craft studio/office space, and I am on cloud nine. It has felt so rewarding to take an ugly room with no purpose and transform it into a pretty, creative, and functional space that I can call mine. It has also been so awesome to hear all of your compliments about the room makeover. I worked really hard during the One Room Challenge, and I am really proud of how it turned out.

Did something from last week’s craft room makeover reveal catch your eye? I have been getting some questions from readers about where to buy some of the things in my new craft room, so I wanted to share all the sources with you today. I also wanted to share the breakdown of the room budget with you – I only spent $159!

In case you haven’t been following along with the craft studio makeover, the cliff notes version is that I spent five weeks making over an ugly room in my basement. Here is the before and after:

Budget:

I set out to do this room makeover with a maximum budget of $200. The final tabulations are in, and I am amazed to say I came in at a grand total of $159!

Paint & Supplies: $62
Furniture: $44
Accessories: $53
TOTAL: $159

Now, please keep in mind that I had most of the things in this room already so I really didn’t have to buy much. I already had all of the furniture except the two sets of black shelves, so most of my expense was just in paint, supplies for projects, and a few accessories to complete the room. All in all, I’m really proud that I stayed under budget and got creative with what I already had.
