We have a small but open area that's pretty versatile, I think. I'm trying to sort out just how I want to organize it.
Here is the space.
The two cabinets in the corner are full of my sewing/crafting supplies. They COULD be refitted to do homeschool, but then I'd have to rehome my things, anyway. And, they're not ideally suited to the task. The clock can go, too, so we start fresh. The walls are 4' and 6', but we can overlap the window some and maybe the door a little, too, since it's the far door that is used.
The school desk was mine when I was little, and was given to me by my grandmother's friend. It was hers in the 1920s in Maine.
When I grew up, I gave it back to her for her granddaughter. She gave it back to me last year for my son.
The crap piled on the desk is the school/craft stuff that currently needs to be organized into the space, but of course, there will be a lot more than what's there now, since we're just starting Kindergarten.
The low, round, black table is our "play table" and used for clay, playdough, etc. It's laminate countertop material, so it's really useful, if kinda ugly.
I'm thinking about a rug to delineate the space and make it more cozy and appealing. We live on a farm (woohoo, dirt) and have a hairy dog and a spider problem (yea, texas!
) so not a fuzzy rug, just a flat-ish one.
I have an Ikea budget, a Mexican/southwestern home and a desire to get it done today, LOL.
Show me your spaces! I don't care HOW messy they are. I would love to see. And, any ideas, links, etc...they are more than appreciated.
