New School Room - almost done!

Our new school room is almost done!  We are so excited about this space.  Since the kids are getting bigger and more of them are learning together, we decided to convert our former playroom into a new school room.  We moved the bulk of the toys to a carpeted corner in the basement and they love going down there to play.

Here is our old school area.  It is a corner in our family room.

School table

Bookcases and storage bins

Pictures of the old playroom space:

New built-ins done by hubby.  He did a great job.  We just need a cushion for the window seat.  

We moved some alphabet letters that were on the wall and I love them here!  We will be putting a window valance here as well.

Chalkboard that I am working on.  It is a thin piece of plywood that we are going to frame and hang.  This was after one coat.  It is looking better after the second coat and I am planning to do one more.

New bulletin board - to the left is a piece of Homosote building board.  To the right is the Homosote with a red burlap cover.  We bought a big piece of the Homosote and had it cut in 3 smaller pieces.  

To be continued.....Hubby is building me some cube shelves and we are hoping to be in our new space by next week!
