Marsha Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 If your homeschool room is small and you have loads of books...where do you put them all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeindeed Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 We have bookshelves in every room, including our master bathroom.:) Our dining room has one wall that is entirely bookshelves (this is our "school room.") Our living room has a bookshelf that takes up half a wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godsaggie Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 We don't have a schoolroom...well other than our living room. We have bookshelves lining our hallway. And we have seen people put shelves above the doorways...we will be doing this soon as our book collection continues to grow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterPan Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 You can also box some up and rotate, keeping out only what you need for the ages you're teaching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KristenR Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 There was a thread recently where this link was shared. It has a collection of links to homeschool rooms. I haven't looked at them all but maybe some from here can give you ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unfrumpable. Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 We currently are using the living room as our homeschool room. I have 3 full size book shelves and 2 half size. One full size shelf it dedicated to all my homeschool stuff. Some areas of it are double stacked, though I did just clear out some of it. Since we moved to smaller quarters, I get a lot of books for the Kindle. In our old house in FL, I actually had a HS room. Out there I used those little metal crate things that you put together to make cubes. I had two sets up, plus two tables for homeschooling. Now I have a coffee table. :) We're actually getting more school done in this set up though. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Five More Minutes Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I've decided that books are our home decor. Any wall that will fit a bookshelf has one. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violet Crown Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 On the floor. In stacks. On every conceivable flat surface. On the stairs (yes, I know, dangerous). Under bedcovers. This book was loaned me by a friend, and is my inspiration. Doesn't everyone want to live this way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoVanGogh Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 On the floor. In stacks. On every conceivable flat surface.This is my son's preferred method. I've decided that books are our home decor. Any wall that will fit a bookshelf has one.This is mine. :lol: I just cleaned out DS's room today to make room for one more bookshelf, as I was tired of climbing over piles of books to get to his closet. We have bookcases along any wall that can hold one. I have realized it is best to go for the taller bookcases. :tongue_smilie: Don't waste money on cute little ones. We also have baskets of books everywhere... On the fireplace hearth, under the end tables, tucked into corners, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donna A. Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 We have bookcases along any wall that can hold one. I have realized it is best to go for the taller bookcases. :tongue_smilie: Don't waste money on cute little ones. This. Go vertical as much as possible. :001_smile: Otherwise you end up with a father-in-law who comes to visit and complains that he can't find a place to set down his coffee cup because he "feels like he's in a library". :lol: What can I say, we've learned over the years. :tongue_smilie: We also do some of the other things that have been mentioned.... rotate out the books, boxing up those not currently being used, putting bookshelves in nearly every room in the house, using baskets in strategic places, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliegmom Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Looks like many of us are in the same boat! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
