This project started with a bag of cabinet knobs bought at the goodwill for $2.00. They were brand new and matched so operation bathroom/utility room started. I had left over tan paint from the kitchen. Painted the walls however ran out of paint. Lucked out when I went to get a quart of kitchen and bath, they were all out of the quart size. I got a gallon for the same price $15.43. My cabinets and drawers were pretty awful. I sanded what finish was left on them and decided to add some dimension. Picked up some molding from Home depot. I need 4 strips at a cost of $9.88. I purchased the small blocks at wood connection for 2 for 5 cents total 40 cents. painted with my leftover black paint. I attached with wood glue and small brads. added a new faucet $26.63. made my own candle wall sconces with items on hand except for the mirrors, cost $1.00. repainted and distressed the shelf over the sink. Wooden box was free, but I had to make. containers were 5.99 and 4.99 each, Total $22.00. Bought regular soap and wrapped with ribbon (much cheaper than decorative soap, total $4.00. Hand made medicine chest $25.00, contact paper $5.63, long rug 12.00, small rug $21.00, laundry baskets $8.00, red carrier $15.00, rubber cover $5.00, garbage can $3.00, other misc items $10.00, light fixture which I had to order and not here yet $28.00. Still need to paint doors and molding, I could not afford new counters or floor, but I love the update. I also have all my patriotic sewing that I have done in there. It fits my antique style. total cost $164.00
