Our first schoolroom 2009
Was located in our “breakfast room”. Problem-too small.

Our schoolroom this year
Moved to the dining room. Problem-stuff spilling into living room, and old schoolroom.

New schoolroom
The old playroom. A giant open room upstairs that was cold, uninviting, and usually off limits because the kids liked to trash it.

Love your new school room! You have inspired me to get organized! I ordered the pocket calendar today and started chatting with my Hubby on how we can change our playroom into a school room.
Thank you for all of the great ideas! I love your blog!
We love that calendar! Enjoy your organization, it is one of my favorite things!
I LOVE, LOVE this room!!! We have a loft also in our house and this has inspired me to try to copy some of the ideas here! I just started homeschooling this year for the first time ever and will be working with my 11 year old and 7 year old.
I gotta get organized!!
Where did you get the blue calendar? I Love it!!
Thanks for the inspiration!

Wow! This is a great homeschool room! I just started a linky party for homeschooling rooms/spots, back to school fun stuff, etc. and would love to have you link up with us to share this spot! I plan on leaving the party open through the month of August in hopes of getting a nice collection of homeschool room links and organizing tips as a resource for myself and other homeschooling mamas! Please feel free to share this link and any others you think might be a good fit! :)http://www.thenatureofgrace.blogspot.com/2012/07/reading-spot-and-homeschool-havens-link.html
