Homeschool & Playroom Tour!
cover
I've been meaning to do a tour of our Homeschool/Playroom for a while now, however I was hesitant. There are so many things I still want to do in this room and changes I want to make. But I figure almost every room in our house is "in progress" so why not just share where we are at right now :) It works great for us and we are so grateful to have the extra space to be able to put this together!
As you can see in the photos, we have split the room into two areas, the left is the Homeschool side and the right is the playroom. We put a baby gate up to separate the spaces, and keep the littles out of the school books :) This room is a finished in garage, which was like this when we bought the house, the only change we have made is the paint color, which I want to change again, lol!

1- 8 Cube Kallax Shelving Unit
We have three different cube units from Ikea which serve to store our curriculum, books, manipulatives and other supplies.
Our whiteboard is from Amazon, the giant gold "B" is from Hobby Lobby :)

Ikea Linnmon Table Top and Legs
This is our computer area, where the kids do math, typing and and any other activities we need the computer or internet for. We found a great Playlist on Youtube that coordinates with our history curriculum so sometimes we watch topical videos on the laptop. You'll also see our whiteboard for All About Reading. I prefer to use a separate whiteboard for the AAR stuff.

This is my desk area, it's another table top and legs from Ikea.

Now we move over to the Playroom side of the room! These awesome prints hang about our sofa. They are from Gracelaced, and they are the watercolor Fruits of the Spirit. The wood piece in the middle is from Hobby Lobby. I'm telling ya' they have the best stuff and if you wait for the 50% off sales, it's super affordable and cute!

And now we have the play area! We have really pared this down...we keep only what fits in this area and anything else has to go! We have 4 kids (soon to be 5) so they spend most of their time playing games with each other anyway. The small green table and stools are from Ikea! The toy box was from Target at least 3 years ago, I found it on clearance for a steal!

Lastly, we have our storage closet... this is where I keep all our games, craft supplies, and extra curriculum that we aren't using at the moment. This is also where I store our finished work for record keeping purposes. Both shelves in the closet are really old, and I'm not sure where they are from :)
