Nothing makes me happier than a good pie chart. Except for maybe an Excel spreadsheet. Is that weird?
Given my love of all things graph/chart/spreadsheet-y, it’s only natural that I had to make a little pie chart for you guys to show how we divided up our staging dollars.
Take a gander:
Isn’t my pie chart pretty? :) And I can also tell you that we were pretty good at sticking to our staging budget – we went a little bit over, but only by 8.5%.
To refresh your memory about the staging that we did, here are the links to the posts about all the staging sources:
- great room (living room/breakfast bar/casual dining) – 53% of the total budget
- dining room & nook – 31% of the total budget
- master bedroom – 16% of the total budget
Whatcha think? Are you a sucker for a pie chart, too? :)
P.S. If you can’t get enough of this chart-y goodness be sure to check out Lauren’s flip-tastic pie charts.

I’m a total sucker for pie charts and spreadsheets. The only problem is I’m NOT very good at producing them – I wish I was. Maybe one day, after I learn how to sew, of course. :) Congrats on not going too far over budget! Well done!
Thanks for the link, Liz! Can’t belieeeeeeeeeeve how well & quickly you guys have got this place sorted. Celebration time???

Hopefully sometime soon! :)
I don’t (can’t) make pie charts, but I like yours! I am impressed that you stayed so close to your budget. Lots of self-control! I was surprised that your formal dining room took such a large proportion of your budget, but now I see that it was the staging rather than construction budget. Very cool that you analyzed and delegated the dollars as you did. Great job!
Wow what a great job you all did!So very impressive!
Oooh, your pie graph is quite lovely! ; )
I would love to flip a house one day–I think it would be TONS of work, but SO fun! Thanks for taking us along on your ride!

I think we are soulmates. I”m obsessed with Excel and charts. Love this one. Great work sticking to the budget! That’s a challenge, but such a great accomplishment.

Haha so funny! I love a good pie chart too. I guess that makes us both weird. :)
