misidawnrn Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 (edited) We bought a new house and one requirement was a separate area for school. This new house has a big livingroom in the basement and we turned about 3/4 of it into the school room. The other end has a couch/loveseat/tv. I put it all together over the last 2 days and I am sure I need to adjust more and I need chairs but it is good for now. Now I want to start school now instead of end of summer (but I have a million other things to do first). Here is what we had...schoolroom in the dining room (so we ate in the livingroom). Here is the mess before I started putting it all away. And here is the final (for now) room. I am so excited I can hardly stand it! The 8 stacking bins were found in the alley by our house when someone was moving. They still had tags on them! SCORE! My thrift store find abacus for $1.00. It is huge! I took someone's idea of putting little containers on a lazy susan. I found 4 different containers with hearts on them at the Goodwill. It's organized...for a minute!

trailofsparks Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Very wonderful! I love that you got the school room done first, priorities :D and a catalyst for getting the other million things done so you can use your new school room. Yeah! Congrats.

RobinF Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I love it. We have a school room but I am not happy with the layout or location or size. I think I might need to do some rearranging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrogMom5 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 You did a nice job on your school room. It looks great. I love the abacus mounted on the wall. Can you take it down when you want to? You must feel so good now. Enjoy! Denise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misidawnrn Posted May 25, 2011 Author Share Posted May 25, 2011 Very wonderful! I love that you got the school room done first, priorities :D and a catalyst for getting the other million things done so you can use your new school room. Yeah! Congrats. I actually got the livingroom, diningroom, kitchen, both bathrooms, DD7's room, and our bedroom done first, then the school room...next...my sewing room! I am equally excited about having my own space for sewing without having to share a space with my stepdaughters (they graciously gave me a wall in their room in our old house). You did a nice job on your school room. It looks great. I love the abacus mounted on the wall. Can you take it down when you want to? You must feel so good now. Enjoy! Denise I have a smaller abacus that stands up, but I can take it down, it's just 5 nails but I mounted it close to the floor for sitting in front of and counting the numbers above it for when little DD gets that old.

Mothersweets Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 (edited) I love it! The containers on a lazy susan is a brilliant idea! and I really like how the stacking bins were a) free and b) graduated. Very handy! Fantastic job, Melissa!! eta - I just read that you also now have a sewing room - woohoo! Edited May 25, 2011 by Mothersweets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
