Homeschool Room Paint Color

I have had several people ask what the paint color is for the Homeschool Room. It is called Spring Garden Walk #7768 by Olympic.


It was a hard color to pick out because I wanted it to look pretty and also not be overstimulating for school...does that make sense? I wanted the kids to be a part of the decision since they too will be spending a lot of time in there.


We wanted bright and cheerful. I think we achieved both without being too in your face. I think having a lot of natural light in there helps too! If we didn't, I think it would appear much brighter!

Progress...

Last night Scot was able to finish building the first two desks. Don't they look awesome!?!? He always does such an amazing job!



Cubbies on either side of the desk will be used for their school books and other supplies.


He even got started on the other two on the other side of the room!

Homeschool Desks

A homeschool room for has been a dream of mine for several years. When we built this house, it was a must have! I researched, planned, and saved pictures of elements that I wanted to use in the space. Now seeing it come together is getting me all gitty!

Scot has started to build the desks and it really is making the room take shape! Over the weekend,  he bought his supplies and cut out all the pieces for the four desks.


Monday Night, he started building....


and was able to get one completed.

Home Tour - Upstairs 2

Today I will show you into these 2 rooms upstairs.


The room to the right is a guest room/office.


It has a window seat along with these built in's for plenty of storage.



The door to the left is a bathroom.




A $10 mirror I found at a home decor store in the mall fit perfectly in this spot.

While subway tile makes me smile!


The tour continues tomorrow showing you downstairs! I will also be posting a list of paint colors later this week!

Home Tour - Homeschool Room


I showed you the homeschool door yesterday now here is a peak inside....


Yes I know it is bright :) The kids picked out the color and I approved! It is so fun and cheerful. It is a room you want to be in - well at least a room where you don't mind being in since you have to anyway for school!


I think the color will make a fun background when we get all the school necessities put up such as bulletin boards and decorations!




I have so many ideas for this room. It won't be completely ready for this school year since we only have a few more weeks left, but by August, we will have built in desks and shelving units!
