What We're Up to This Weekend

We're in the process of converting our office to a schoolroom. Nothing fancy. No big, dramatic makeover, just a re-purpose of sorts. We've found that since we got a laptop last year, we rarely use our office. And we've needed a separate place to do school time - not that we're very structured at this point. But I've noticed how much better the kids respond to "learning time" when we're in a separate area of the house. I also was sick of going here, there and everywhere for our school supplies. Some were in the basement, others in the dining room, and still some in the office. It'll be nice to have everything in one place.

Here's what it looks like now.
I'll be sure to post "after" pictures when we finish. We're mostly rearranging things and don't plan to spend much money on it. It's a room you can see into as you enter the house so I don't want to the look of it to change much. No bright primary colors. Here's hoping we can wrap it up this weekend.

Sorry I've been a total NaBloPoMo slacker!
