If you walk into my house the first thing you see is our “classroom”.  This room has been located in three places since we moved into this house.  The final destination is the “Living Room”.  This was a room that held a couch and a table and was never used.  Now it is used every [...]

A New View

I like to mix up things around here; it keeps every one guessing!  Monday morning I headed downstairs with one goal in mind: to organize the classroom.  Well, it was organized, or shall I say relocated and organized.  I moved the classroom from the little office in the front to the open living room area.

A place for everything, everything in its place. ~ Benjamin Franklin THIS is what my desk looked like Sunday.  I decided that I just couldn’t keep it this way.  After all, I know somewhere is a check to cash and a bill to pay.  So I pulled everything off the desk. I sorted into piles: [...]

School Room Revisited

IMG_9265.jpg

This is how I originally had set up our school loft.  I found that it was hard to work with the kids in this small area, so I decided that some changes had to be done.  Yesterday, I started by removing all the books from the right wall.  The bookcases were moved to the hallway.  [...]

Home Tour: The School Loft

View into the School Loft

Once a week (or when I remember), I will try to share how I decorate or organize our homebase.  We have been so blessed, because the cost of this house is 1/10th of what our previous housing was.  This allows us to travel and have a place to land! The first place I’d like to [...]
