Budget Busters- A Breakdown of the costs of our recent reno's room by room!!

Breakdown of the supplies needed for the Rustoleum Cabinet Transformations Reno's

We bought 4 kits, but soo far have only used three, so I am not factoring in the expense of the 4th kit...

Rustoleum Cabinet Transformations - $79.99 x 3 = $239.97
Paint brushes - Home Depot - (2 x 2" @ $9.98 each, and 1 x 1.5" @ 5.98) = $25.94
Foam Brushes - Canadian Tire - 2pkgs of 30 (we could have only used one but since we opened both of them and can't return one I am including them both) - 2 @ $2.99 = $5.98
Drop Clothes - Dollarama - 8 x $1.00 = $8.00
Cups - Dollarama - 2 x $1.00 = $2.00
Rubber Gloves - 2 x $1.00 = $2.00
2" Painters Tape - 4 roll pack $12.99
Lint Free Rags - 4pk - $1.49 x 4 = $5.96
Labour - free we did it ourselves, and couldn't be prouder....

Total Cost for Rustoleum Cabinet Transformations Product and Installation  302.84 plus 13% tax here (even though we bought the kits in the states, I am still adding tax onto it because I'm not sure what the tax rate is in the United States...)

So the grand total is a whopping :    $342.21

Now, divide that by 5, as we did 5 separate "projects" with it and you get $68.44.

Now I will breakdown the costs of the various projects:
                 
  1. Main Floor Bathroom Vanity -
      $68.44 - Rustoleum divided cost (with supplies and installation)
      $15.00 - New Handles purchased off Ebay - for 2.50 a piece

           Total = $83.44

 2. Master Bedroom Bathroom Vanity -
      $68.44 - Rustoleun divided cost (with supplies and installation) and furthermore, we re-used the handles off the kitchen cupboards, so there was no added cost
                                                                      Total = $68.44

3. Pantry, and two wooden chests (in great room) -
       $68.44 - Rustoleum divided cost (with supplies and installation) also no further cost
                                                                       Total = $68.44

4. Queen size bedroom set, with two armoire dressers, large nightstands, and a headboard
     $68.44 - Rustoleum divided cost (with supplies and installation)
     $  9.59 - Rustoleum Satin nickel spray paint-to spray paint the existing ugly brass handles
                                                                         Total =$78.03

5. Kitchen Cabinets
     $68.44 - Rustoleum divided cost (with supplies and installation)
     $60.00 - New handles purchased off Ebay for $2.50 a piece x 24
     $33.89 - Wireless undercabinet lighting purchased at Costco
     $18.08 - Casing trim mounted on the bottom of the upper cabinets (to hide lighting and achieve a finished look)
                                                                          Total =$180.41

So, there you have it my budget busters in a room by room fashion for our recent reno's. I think we did really well at keeping the costs down, and I feel like the reno's were well worth the money we spent, and the work we did too. We are very pleased with the results. Stay tuned for a breakdown of our flooring costs and recent closet and pantry makeover budgets.
