Wordless Wednesday w/ Linky!!!!

Wednesday, August 31, 2011



I am SO excited for the opportunity to share this!!  It's our new school room~ almost finished!

{I know there is a big patch of drywall, but we're not fixing it quite yet.}

Moving on.  I just wanted to say that I feel like the Lord is blessing me for holding onto Him when I was going through everything trying to get a diagnosis for the twins.  I didn't give into pressure to medicate them, send them to a public school or accept that they were just "low IQ" {they're not, BTW.}  I never once {OK one time I did} doubted that He had a plan for them and I just needed to wait on Him.  I sought godly council and enlisted others to pray for us when I couldn't anymore.  He has provided a room beyond anything I could have hoped for!  I hope that encourages you!

I went from this:

To this:

I am BEYOND over the moon excited for my new table!!  I bought it off of Amazon with GC's I earned from blogging and my Dad contributed the other half.  He's so sweet like that!

See how I used the top of the book shelf for extra storage?  There are 2 more shelves like that one next to it~ with my stuff lining the top.  I used it to store games and manipulates and future curriculum, mostly.

The "grates" on the walls are dismantled whatever >>> is because everyone knows those things don't work!!  {Except for me when I bought it!}

I use binder clips to hold art work, etc on them and it works great!!  I am so impressed with myself!! :)

This is to the left of the table.  The big brown desk is my computer desk with my wall o' stuff {I think I need one more organizer of some sort.}

See my brown cork board  hiding between the two desks?  That will be going up shortly as will a big dry erase board a lovely lady from church gave us.

To the right is a hanging organizer that I also got from Amazon {thanks to my friend Cassandra} that I LOVE!!  I want another one for my personal papers but the price had almost doubled since I bought this one!!  I am keeping my eye out for another sale!  The brown cart I stumbled upon at K-Mart for $25.  It has wheels so I can easily move it to where ever I need it.  I use it to hold our books we use everyday and it's metal construction means it is heavy enough for school books X 2!

I LOVE my green hanging baskets, too!  I got this idea from some pictures Play ay Home Mom posted on Facebook.  Except, I used these for MY supplies!  {They are located on the wall behind my chair.}

So, if you're still with me for this 'no where NEAR" Wordless Wednesday, thanks for stopping by!!

Your schoolroom looks great! I'm a little jealous as we have to share our schoolroom with Daddy's office...but, then again, the whole family is home together so I guess I shouldn't complain..... :-D

I'm probably weird, but I especially love your green baskets - I just love baskets. and boxes. and pretty much any storage stuff. :-)

The Jacobsen Family! said...

Wow, it looks great! I wish we had a homeschool room! We have to use our dining room, and it just isn't big enough. We make due though, and still LOVE homeschooling! =)

Very nice organization. Wish I was so organized. It would be a lot less stressful. Thanks for sharing and thanks for linking up at Tots and Me

@Jacobsen, we were using our dining room for an office - but, with 4 desks, it was miserable. So, we recently swapped the room with our living room - now, the "dining room" is the TV room and the living room is the office/schoolroom and I LOVE it - as another homeschool mommy pointed out to me once....we just use our homes differently than most people - we are there almost 24hrs a day.

Your room look GREAT and I think you are so smart for having a separate 'school' or 'learning' room. Good luck - I look forward to reading a lot more and hearing more of your great ideas!
