If you’ve read my blog before, then you know we are in the middle of building a house. We feel very blessed to be able to custom design a home to meet the needs and personal desires of our growing family. And yet, its overwhelming at times. Lately I’ve become fixated on our homeschooling and playroom space.
Whenever you are starting a project, its great to look and see what others have done. Maybe you’ll find something that will work for you, or at least you can know for sure what you don’t want!
By far Nicandboys room captured what I was trying to accomplish the most. Her room serves as both a playroom and classroom. I liken it to classic preschool or kindergarten room—but gorgeous! And I absolutely love the color! I looks like a happy place to learn and play!
The one thing that all homeschoolers have in common is books! So I always enjoy seeing how everyone addresses this in their home. The bookshelves that Life on Grace has posted, showcasing her school room library, have lights posted above each bookcase. Great idea!
Nicandboys created a reading nook and posts all the picture books across her school room wall. Very inviting and a great way to rotate books!
Chalkboard paint and magnetic paint are great ways to dress up your school or playroom walls. Suziebeezie shows off her chalkboard paint door! Suzie used classic black but you can tint other colors with the chalkboard paint as well.
I have tons of great ideas swirling around my head now. I hope you too are inspired to create spaces that work for you or your family.
I’ll post our spaces when we finally move in—-hopefully by the end of the summer!

How fun to see Nicole's room on your blog! My kids have played in that room and I can tell you first hand that her school room is AWESOME in person. I wish that I had the space to create a room like hers!
You've been in that room? I had a feeling it was even more amazing in person. Does she have a blog? I'm sure she has great ideas.
Wow, I love the homeschool room! I would love to do something like that to our room when my kids get a little older and we won't have anymore baby toys. I have made our dinning room into a play room/homeschool room I will post about that soon. Love your blog!!!
Wow, it sounds like its going to be an awesome room. I so want come in there and play.
Wow! that is very impressive!
WOW great ideas! Thanks for sharing! We recently moved our schoolroom into the garage to make room for sisters & this is giving me ideas 🙂 I LOVE redecorating!
wow. i love those ideas. i'm planning to homeschool in the future and the thought of all the details seems overwhelming. however, the thought of decorating a new room actually sounds quite fun! thanks for the inspiration!
These pictures you posted have totally confirmed the inspiration I had at Church this weekend to creat a learning/play room in our home! I have a 4 year old in VPK (voluntary pre-kindergarten) but my heart is pulling me more and more to homeschool him and my 2 year old daughter. Your blog is so beautiful and inspiring. Thanks!!!!!
I think the ideal homeschool room is not necessarily the kitchen, but somewhere nearby so that I could see it from the kitchen!
I'd love to be able to supervise my daughter doing home ec at the same time as my others using playdough or paint and not having to clean off the kitchen table to get it ready for dinner!
Wouldn't mind having the laundry room in there as well so that folding clothes could be a “learning center!”
