The Spring 2020 One Room Challenge has officially come to an end. It’s a bitter-sweet feeling, guys! I’ve shared all about the project, step by step, from week 1 to the final reveal. But during that time, we’ve never talked about budget! My budget for this project was $500, and I’m happy to report that I came in a bit under. 😉 Read on for the full breakdown!
If you’re new around here, welcome! I’m Kylee and I am an interior styler and property manager specializing in vacation rental properties. I’m most often working on other people’s homes, but during the Spring 2020 One Room Challenge I’ll be making over a room in my own home in Mission Beach (San Diego), CA! Follow along as I transform my three-year-old son’s bedroom over the next few weeks and stay tuned for the final reveal on July 5th!
Feature Wall
To build out the feature wall, we purchased 1″ x 2″ x 8′ primed MDF board and secured it to the wall using Loctite and a nail gun.
The wall sconce was purchased from Amazon and we converted it to a working light source (without hard-wired electrical) by super-gluing a rechargeable puck light to a socket adapter.
Feature Wall Costs
MDF Boards (2 packs of 6) $54.31
Loctite $5.37
Paint $35.54
Wall Sconce $36.62
Socket Adapter $2.34
Puck Light (2 pack) $28.73
TOTAL $162.91
Bedding
We already had a set of our favorite sheets for Nash’s bed (in grey), but I decided to purchase a new coverlet from Target. I also bought this black sherpa pillow. The lumbar pillow is by Homie’s and was in our master bedroom but I like it in here better!
Bedding Costs
Coverlet $53.86
Sherpa Pillow $19.40
TOTAL $73.26
Decor
The woven planter was made from items that we had in our garage (a bathroom trash can, the base from a broken plant stand and a few zip ties) so there was no cost for that except the faux snake plant.
I created the surfing dinosaur graphic print myself and already had the frame so the only cost was printing.. and I had a coupon because I’m thrifty like that. 😉
For the art display wall, I ordered these clip boards from Amazon and used Command Strips to adhere them to the wall.
I used leftover spray paint and leather sheets (I had one and purchase one additional sheet) to update the step stool. To hide the internet router, I purchased and hung this planter and filled it with floral stems. The last purchase was a new rug which I bought from Target.
Decor Costs
Snake Plant $78.08
Photo Printing $2.14
Clip Boards $21.54
Command Strips $10.76
Step Stool $29.04
Leather Sheet $15.60
Hanging Planter $32.31
Floral Stems $10.76
Rug $34.99
TOTAL $235.22
Organization
I already own a laminating machine, so creating the drawer labels and hanging tags didn’t require any purchases. I also already had the binder rings in my craft box. So the only purchases were these document pouches and the felt baskets. I used my Target circle credits for the baskets so there was no cost for those!
Organization Costs
Document Pouches $16.15
Storage Baskets $0
TOTAL $16.15

That’s it for purchases for this challenge! The grand total was just under my $500 budget at $487.54. Head to this post to see more detail about my finished One Room Challenge space and you can see the projects from the other guest participants here!
