Welcome to our tour of Our Homeschool Learning Spaces…we did a little bit of updating from last year.

Our front room on the main level is my office. I have two overflowing bookcases. I love my desk setup! I have everything I need within reach.

We are so blessed to have a basement! We use it for our main learning space. I know we probably won’t have this luxury when we PCS in a year or so.

I keep many books on this bookshelf that we’re not currently using, but we will use again for another round of history, science, Bible, or art. The green cube holds scrap paper for crafts. I also have magazines {Nat Geo Kids, Ranger Rick, Zoobooks} in the files on the floor beside the art boxes.

I found these matching desks used and the girls’ bedroom furniture is the same design and company. I love shopping at thrift stores, yard sales, or online at ksl.com. I have buckets of school supplies on a lazy Susan on the table in the corner. Teacher books are on shelves in that table too. And new stuff is stacked on the floor ready to begin in a couple weeks – after our Yellowstone trip!

I found this amazing table and (don’t they match?) 4 sturdy chairs…at TWO DIFFERENT YARD SALES ON THE SAME DAY. Score! The girls use that cube unit from Target for workboxes. I jot down our themes each week on the pictures for each subject. Our clean new empty Tapestry of Grace Year 3 notebooks are propped on the floor for now.

We do lots of lessons in front of our All About Reading board and our We Choose Virtues board is above that.

Our messy book nook with easel and magnets. We can never have enough books!

This is the wall where Alex does his preschool magic. We keep our Montessori mats for all the kids in that basket and toys in the bins. Our calendar is on the cellar door. I found this awesome school desk at Savers and he LOVES it!

That cube unit is from Target. All About Reading posters and a U.S. map from the $1 spot with a fun U.S. magnet game. and trucks. Always trucks!

Here’s Liz’s setup in our sewing/craft room. Also a cube unit from Target. {yeah, I love em!} She has one cubby for each school subject {history, foreign language, Bible, math, science, and ELA} and a thrifted basket for art. Notebooking binders are propped in between.

    Crazy about getting matching desks like that! Do you do most of your schoolwork in that room? Have a great year!

      We try to do most of our lessons in that awesome basement. We do some in our living room off the kitchen too since the light is perfect for art.

    I absolutely the your school room! I wish we had more light in our basement and it was finished. We rent here though so we can’t finish it off. If we buy it then I plan on finishing it off to make a school room down there.

      We rent too. One of my requirements this tour was a basement. My house is actually too big for us and I struggle keeping it clean! We have rooms just for storage. We won’t be blessed like this again I know.

    […] In the upstairs landing, I put the art table and supplies. It’s a round dining table I got at a yard sale and it fits perfectly. You can see it in last year’s learning spaces post. […]
