SET YOURSELF UP TO STAY IN BUDGET ON YOUR DIY ROOM MAKEOVER WITH A DETAILED BUDGET!

CONSIDER THESE  4 CATEGORIES

We budget for room makeovers in four simple categories. While each has many sub points- it keeps things clean, organized + easy to read.

room upgrades

This category is everything that stays with the room. Actual renovations, upgrades to the space, these things add resale value.

PAINT + PRIMER TOOLS + EQUIPMENT FLOORING + WALL TILE TRADES + INSTALLATION LIGHTING + PLUMBING FIXTURES HARDWARE CABINETRY + COUNTERTOPS APPLIANCES

Rings

I like to plan my DIY projects and budget for these in a separate section since they can often be started ahead of time and so many people go over budget here while trying to save money!
