OK. So. Two years ago we bought a house. A year and three quarters ago we added a room… a school room. The kids and I were so excited to have a dedicated school room again!
A year and three quarters later that “school room” is empty and the excitement has dwindled. Still no flooring, still no paint, still no desks, still no storage, still no whiteboard. Sigh. I guess that’s the down side of being do-it-yourselfers and the only days you have to work on diy projects are Saturdays. And that’s if something better to do doesn’t pop up, or if your back is feeling up to it, or if there are no weddings, funerals or birthday parties.
My hubby is an awesome do-it-yourselfer, and can build just about anything. The trouble is the waiting. Sigh again. But, what’s that? A glimmer of hope? We were actually using the “school room” in it’s unfinished condition for a year, but this past weekend we moved all of the way-to-big furniture and computers downstairs to the dining room. Makes for awkward family dinners, but I am confident it will be worth it.
The room is an empty, clean slate ready for some fabulous flooring and ultra-practical workstations. Hubby is going to build everything and I’m hopeful that we’ll actually get it done before the end of this school year. :o) The upside? One day, I will once again have a dedicated room, albeit small, for school and I have plenty of time to gather the most amazing ideas to make it a practical, functional, and fun place for the kids to learn.
I’ll post updates with pics as we progress and would love to see your school room as well. Do you have a dedicated school room or area? Post your pics! I’ll take all the input I can get!
