We were having the hardest time figuring out how to fit
5 desks,
a chalkboard,
a magnet board,
a map,
our school books,
school supplies
and school decorations in a 9' x 8' room
that only has two useable walls that oppose each other.
My husband came up with a scheme
and I ran with it!
It only took me 6 hours to clear out the entire room,
clean the desks,
rearrange school supplies,
etc.
And the (almost) end result:
 |
| We decided to put the desks head to head. The kids can turn their heads to the left or the right depending on which wall I need them to be looking at. Instead of buying another desk that our oldest would soon grow out of, we decided to use a little table and chair that we already owned as our youngest's desk. |
 |
| View from window/chalkboard side of room. My desk with storage beside it. Matt built in bookshelves that run the entire length of the room on both sides. I love it! I changed the magnetic chalkboard into a magnet board only by sanding off the top few layers of paint. It works great now with my AAS magnets. (Ignore the mess in the hallway...bedroom construction in progress.) |
The room isn't done yet.
We need to hang the chalkboard up on the one wall.
And then the opposing wall needs the map hung up,
along with a timeline.
I'm excited about the new layout.
I really hope it works better than last year's many different set ups.
