My Classroom Makeover!

Welcome! I am so thrilled that you stopped by my little corner of the world. I can't wait to share this project with you!I have been working on decorating my first "official" classroom. I have a nice large classroom to decorate.

The 4 windows are all 85 1/2" long, which takes a lot of fabric. After reading several blogs, I knew burlap is the way to go!

Since I hot glue, I asked my mom to help me with the curtains. We giggled and laughed and just had the best time making the curtains.

Here are my goodwill finds:

A little spray paint, burlap, and some left over trim:


I needed a new clipboard too:

I used spray glue to adhere it to the board and hot glue too:

I found these at Michaels ~ perfect for a computer classroom.

I added a little spray paint and some lettering:

Okay, are you ready to see my room?

Here are the before shots:

And....drum roll please....the finished (well almost) classroom:

I painted a few of my favorite quotes on the wall.

This one says, "This is your life ~ are you who you want to be?" (by Switchfoot)

A new bulletin board covered in matching burlap and animal print fabric:

And the last quote says, "Man is still the most extraordinary computer of all." JFK

(Please, excuse the ugly green square. That should be painted soon.)

And my re-purposed Goodwill finds. I used chalkboard paint in the middle of the silver tray, as so many of you have done. I plan to write my name in it.

And a quick burlap pillow to match (don't tell my mom~I hot glued it!):

The little computer like keys (I added magnets to the back):

And the curtains, that I just adore! Thanks Mom!!!!

My home away from home, just fills me with all kinds of joy!
