Let's Talk Money: Bedroom Refresh

In November, we revealed our One Room Challenge Refresh.
Though we only spent $500 on new items for the space, what would it cost from beginning to end to have this room created by a pro?
$14,282

When you’re starting from scratch, you may need to buy new items. Incorporating pieces you already have can help lower material cost though the design fees will remain relatively the same.
