I am participating in the Price My Space Party from The Nester. As you can see here, here, here and here (and here too!) I recently redid my office/craft room in my apartment. My budget was $500, and I wonder if I stayed under that budget. Let’s see!

Supply total= $89.27

GRAND TOTAL= $503 and some cents.

Ok, I went over about $3, sue me. I think considering that A.) I didn’t use any paint on the walls (can’t…sorry!) and B.) it’s only $500, that I did a great job. What do you think?

I am happy to be participating in my first blog “party” and I hope to participate in many more in the upcoming weeks!
