I can't remember exactly because we spread it out so long but the base cabinets were $320 and then the other wood for the shelves and trim was probably $150 - $200. Maybe not even that much because we used basic pine for the shelves but nicer pine for the trimwork. I had a little over $100 in lights as well and only paid about $150 for the electrical work. I think the final cost was between $650 - $750. But ours are 12 feet wide so that's for our large version. :) Good luck!!Thrifty Decor Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08387609050626968143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-15597076357112731002014-09-18T09:54:35.137-04:002014-09-18T09:54:35.137-04:00Hi Sarah!

I am trying to project how much this will cost. I guess we would have to hire an electrician for the wiring, although we may try to do that ourselves (maybe?). Anyway, if you have it on here somewhere and I missed it, will you link me to it? Thanks.

We are getting ready to paint the basement in a neutral color and I would like to do the same color on the ceiling, but my husband wants it white. Any suggestions? The basement is 9 feet tall and has big windows--so darkness is not an issue.

There's an aqua dresser to store all her supplies and her very own table - which is perfect for eating and crafting. There's also a chair in the corner for reading. Looks cute, flows well and its finally functional! I've never been a big fan of the formal dining or living rooms!
