clarkacademy Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I really want to redo my school room in Harry potter. I have some ideas but was wondering if you guys had any others. You can see my classroom as it is now if you go to my school blog under the tab classroom or schoolroom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jec3113 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Love the Harry Potter idea! Mine would love it! You can have a lot of fun with HP theme! Please keep us posted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I would start with paint color. Maybe do a darker under the chair rail and maybe a faux finish above. I wouldn't go dark, maybe something to resemble stone. You could even tape it off to make faux grout lines. The table you have is good. This decorating shop always has some interesting items. (some items on there are PG13, fyi) http://www.designtoscano.com/ Put Harry Potter decor into a google search or at Amazon. You'll probably find some great ideas. I think you could do a few things that scream Potter and have others themed that way, but more transitional. That way if you wanted a change down the road it wouldn't be too costly to do.

clarkacademy Posted February 13, 2012 Author Share Posted February 13, 2012 I love that table!! I wanted a blackboard but have no clue how to hang it I don't think these walls would handle it. Anyone know of a way to make a cheap one I can hang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5wolfcubs Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Ooh, what a great idea! I actually have an empty-ish space I want to make a schoolroom (you can see a picture on my blog!) and didn't consider doing a theme. Right now dh is reading the 6th book aloud, so Harry Potter would go over very well... However, since I don't get to listen to him read much, I don't have a lot of input. Stuffed owl collection? Candles? Maybe those battery operated kind. I will have to go google some ideas for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5wolfcubs Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 I really want to redo my school room in Harry potter. How is this going? My dh just finished reading the final book aloud and our "potential schoolroom" is still empty of decor! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
