I Want This… Cleaning Up the School Room

I have a love hate relationship with my school room.  I love it because I have it.. and I’m grateful that I do.. but I don’t love it because it’s ALWAYS a mess.  When I designed the house we built I thought it would be cool to have a loft/school room.  I didn’t realize my children would play in there, and it would be the catch all for stuff upstairs. 🙁  BUT  I really can’t complain.  There are a lot of homeschooling mothers that do their school stuff at the kitchen table… which sometimes I find myself doing because I get angry at the school room…

Each year at the start of summer I start thinking about painting the school room and re-organizing it.  When I get the guts I’ll put some photos on of  what the school room looks like now.. but here’s some examples of what I wish it looked liked!

This from Pottery Barn.  You can see it HERE

I love the way it has a place for everything.. and it’s so clean and neat.. I don’t really NEED the whole thing.. but a few pieces would be nice.

I like the way this looks, but it’s not really set up for homeschooling..
