Welcome to our homeschooling space! The major change we did for this year is switching out the table for a round one , which I scored on craigslist, and this was to accommodate Soul (and eventually Glow). See previous set up here and here. Additionally, we added chairs and removed the bench, and I switched out the 3 hanging halo lights for one Koushi inspired one. I feel our space is functional and pretty. The round table now gives everyone a spot at the table. Soul used to work, more like play, on the small spool table, but I find she's more interested in learning now that she has an official spot. Glow is still napping during our school time, so she doesn't sit at the table yet. The chairs are found items from Anthropologie and I love the interesting shape of them; I also love the school chair vibe they have, and apparently they were from Belgium in the 1960's. I have had my eye on those chairs for a few years now and wanted them for dining room chairs, but Ben wasn't feeling them for that purpose. Though when we switched out the table, I knew these chairs would be perfect for this spot, and Ben agreed. The girls sit at the table for our lessons and discussions. I use the white board to draw and write on and I love that it feels like our own mini classroom. The metal cabinet houses paper, lots of books, math manipulatives, school supplies, but all our current teaching guides and workbooks sit in a wooden crate right next to it, I just pull it out when I need it. We have pocket charts to hold our flash cards and such, one was bought when I worked as a public teacher, and the fabric printed one is from my book, Let's Sew Together (you can get the instructions on how-to make your own in there!). We have metal baskets hanging to house pencils, pens, markers, and additional craft supplies. On the other side, there's the hanging basket chair, which I scored on craigslist for $30, but from a New Jersey listing. Coincidentally, my friend happened to be road tripping through, picked it up for me, and grey hound shipped it to Southern California. Great friend, right?! The girls love to read in that chair! We have a cot (scored on ebay) and the girls love to lounge there too. This side is more where they play, do projects, and read, it's a nice comfy area. I got the rug recently from Rugs USA. I've loved that style for awhile, but wasn't sure where to get it, but then over labor day it was 80% off, so I purchased it. That space looked like it was missing something to pull all the furniture together, and it was all just floating on carpet, so I think the rug brings it together nicely, even if it is still on carpet. The texture is different, so it works for me. The hanging chalkboard is another project found in my book, and the girls change up the drawings on it from time to time. We use an IKEA clothes rack to hang our giant tablet paper, and we use that to write our poems or do diagrams. I drag that rack over closer to the round table when we need it. This room has been loved (I have four kids after all), so the carpet is really worn, there's plenty of stains on the carpet, and the walls aren't really white, more like a cream-grey with lots of fingers prints and crayon/marker drawings all over the place. If you look closely, you'll see some of it (note: the red lipstick drawings on the carpet). I love our set up though, it's a happy and bright place for learning, and I'm thankful to have this spot in our home to do our homeschooling.
