Lady Lulu Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Hello all! This will be our first year homeschooling and I am so eager to have a room in our home that is designed to help facilitate effective and fun schooling. If I had tons of mula, I'd just pick my favorite pieces of furniture out of the Pottery Barn and Serena and Lily catalogs. But, as it is, I had pretty much NO money to spend! So, we had a garage sale and raised about $550 to spend on setting up the schoolroom. Then, thankfully, I found Ana White's site with hundreds of free plans on how to build furniture (this is not an advertisement at all...though it's sure starting to sound like one, huh?). I found the exact plans for the table AND storage system I had been eyeing for more than a year! I recently finished the school table and I'm currently working on building the cubby storage system. I am SO excited and grateful we can have the school room of my dreams on such a limited budget. And, I can honestly say the furniture, etc, is made straight from the heart! Here's a link to the pictures of the table: http://onesietwosie.blogspot.com/2011/06/elementary-table-build-complete.html Just wanted to share this in case there are other mamas/daddy's out there in the same situation. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
