School Room

So, I've been working on organizing the school room for the upcoming school year and things have been moving very slowly. Life has just been crazy and I'm so glad I started trying to get this room together in July. I made a lot of progress yesterday on the decorating side of things. We needed new school chairs this year and I found some at the Salvation Army thrift store in Greenbrier. I got four wooden chairs for $20 which I thought was a great deal. The only problem was they were a nasty dark brown color. I decided to let the kids pick out whatever color they wanted and I spray painted them. I think they turned out great! Another project that I had been working on was getting some of the kids' artwork framed and making a wall of art in the school room. I ended up spray painting some old frames I had sitting around with the same colors I used on the chairs and framed some of the nicer pictures the kids had done...So things are slowly shaping up.

  1. Love those cuties! We had fun last friday at dinner together. I adore all their art on the wall. You should be one proud mom!

    Hope we can all get together soon.
