Homeschool Room Tour

B and M's side of the room

M's desk area. Her verse cards which doubles as the alphabet, are posted across the front area of her desk along with some other charts and games from the curriculum that we use. There are also some of her art projects posted with sticky tack to make them easy to change out as she makes more.

M at her desk. This old chalk board, that was found in a friend's old storage building, is to the right of the window on the back wall of the room.

The good work board is to the left of the window. It was great that they are the exact same size so it keeps everything visually balanced (which is just how I like things).

S's work area. They each have a small bulletin board in front of them to post whatever they need or want. I have also used sticky tack to hang any teaching visuals that are needed from various subjects.

The door to our supply closet doubles as a game visual for M. The bulletin board in the corner has a dry erase  schedule hung on it. Each Monday, I write who has what test/quiz beside the day that it is scheduled for. IThis has been a life saver to have this info at a quick glance!

These were some free prints that I found online. I blogged about it here.

I love adding scripture reminders to this space seeing as we spend a lot of our time in here! Hope you like the tour, now what do you think?

House Tour 2

Here are a few pictures from the tour of homes that our city has had over the past two weekends.

I love the color of this house. I think it looks great with the crisp white and dark black accents. The other thing that I love is the different types of vinyl. It adds so much character.

We saw a lot of this today too. It is stained concrete that has been scored to look like tiles. Isn't it fabulous?!

Walking through a staged house is so much better than empty rooms. It really helps you visualize the space. This house was staged and it was absolutely gorgeous! I got a lot of pictures and ideas from it.

This dining room table is stunning! You can expand it for more seating. I am seriously debating whether to get a round table instead of the traditional rectangular one.

We also went through a house that is still being built. It was one that I actually saw blueprints for online and was the first house I had picked out more than a year ago!!! How cool is that! I still love it and after touring it have even reconsidered it...it is so pretty....we will see.

The local builder added sq footage and tweaked the layout. I can't wait to tour it when it is complete!

I LOVE the archway separating the kitchen from family room.

How awesome is this outdoor fireplace right on the back porch! Love it!

Oh to dream, right?

House Tour 1

This weekend is a local Home Tour. There are over 500 houses open in various neighborhoods across the city. I am so excited! I love to go through and see the different styles and layouts of the houses.


We went to several homes last year. I brought along my camera and took several pictures of ideas I want in our new house. These are a few of them.

It is a great time to get information from local businesses and builders. any houses have little signs telling you who did backsplashes or cabinets or closets. It is nice to see something you like and know which company did it!



Next week, I hope to show you some new ideas I find this weekend!
