I finally got my blog updated with our school room pictures. Nothing fancy, but the area works well for us.

Awesome!!!!:D

I love your school room. What an awesome space! I love your book shelves and your use of space. :)

[Trivium Academy]

Love it! It makes mine look cluttered and busy, lol. I'm still amazed at that beautiful table! Where is all the supplies? Are they in another room busting out of a closet?? C'mon, I have 2 kids and I have doo-dads all over the place. :) Great job Jean!

Where is all the supplies?

I have a shelf in the LR that I store stuff like games and larger things. My art supplies are hopefully on the UPS truck today LOL. Most of my stuff is in those big labeled bins out of William's reach!

[sweetfeet]

Your shelves are so organized. It looks like a great place to learn.:D Now I'm wondering if my area is too cluttered.

[Elise]

It looks so neat and clean and tidy! Great job!!:hurray:

[Renee in FL]

Is that only your schoolroom or does it double as a dining room?

[MicheleinMN]

Quiver, how goes the weight loss?

And your school room is gorgeous!! (Want to come put one together for me?)

That looks great! I love your bookshelves and am having serious bookshelf envy right now!!! I have 2 tiny shelves and junk all over the floor b/c I just don't have the space to store it all!

Also, I saw your post below the schoolroom one about your weight loss. That is truly amazing. Way to go and many congratulations!!!!

That's our DR too.

Thanks! It's going very slow. I am down to 162 and really want to break into the 150s! Soon I hope.

[Quiver0f10]

Thank you everyone! :)

[LoveBaby]

That is beautiful! And all the bookshelf space is awesome!!

[HomesteadMommy]

Ohhh I love it!! Thanks for sharing. :001_smile:

Where did you get that table? We may be needing a table to seat 10-12 soon. Big tables are so hard to find. Can you point me in the right direction?

[Sugarfoot]

It's gorgeous, Jean! I'm working on the same thing---trying to get our room in order before we head up to South Dakota on Saturday. My knee problems have slowed me down considerably.:glare:

I love your room!:)

Hi Quiver:

My school room is similar to yours in layout and size (and 3 entrance/exits to the room) but I've also got those sets of plastic drawers for the each child's actual textbooks, binders and pencils, crayons, etc. My room is in the basement and only for school.

Do your children put their books (textbooks, binders) on the shelves or do you have another system?

When my school room looks as nice as yours, it lasts about one day, two if I'm lucky, three if I nag like crazy. My gf has 7 kids (inc 4 boys 8 and under) and she says the same thing - only worse.

Do you have secrets to share with us moms of many? (or at least, more than a few?)

Looks great! You are very organized.

And congrats on the weight loss. You look fabulous.

[Angela in GA]

I think you should come organize my school area. :p I LOVE your table. I might even be lusting after it a little bit. :D

By the way, congrats on your weight loss! You're doing awesome!

[jedbel]

Love that table! :001_smile: the rest of the room too by the way. Thanks for sharing.

We had it custom made when we lived in Maine. It was a huge splurge for us and we used some of our tax return to buy it. We found a few places that had seating up to 10-12 but they had leaves and I wanted a solid top. So try a wood working place or Amish store.

They do keep their books on the shelves. The first bookshelf nearest the living room doorway has the younger 4 kids books and the one next to it has the older ones, plus teacher's books. Honestly, they usually trash the shelves too and toss things back where they don't belong etc. The only reason it looks like it does now is 1) we haven't started school 2) I threatened them with bodily harm if they touched anything until school starts :lol:

I try to quickly reorganize the shelves each Friday afternoon, but they rarely looks as nice as these pics. :D > My plan of attack this year is to assign one child per week the chore of tidying the shelves each afternoon. I am hoping that helps with the mess.

Wow-what an awesome room! I love how organized you are. The table is wonderful too.

I really like your DR table. We have an Amish table, and your table looks Amish made as well. Your area looks very organized. Good Job!

[BlessedMom]

Wonderful room! Thanks for sharing it is inspiring!

[newbie]

That is a beautiful room. It makes me jealous. I need to get wall charts.
