Daydreaming About Our New Learning Room

So, we're moving, right? And we'll start back to school the first part of September, which means that I have about a month to create a good learning room for us to work in. In the home that we are buying there is already a good space for that, but it will need some paint and some bookcases. It's a smallish space though, so I definitely need to be creative.

Vince is planning to create some built-ins (you've gotta click this link to see the ideas Vince is thinking of!) for us. He's been diligently watching HGTV shows on Hulu.com lately and has some awesome ideas. I just don't know if they're going to happen in the first month that we're in our home:) Probably not realistic, but if it does happen, then whoo hoo!

In the meantime I've been surfing around on Pinterest.com, among other places for good learning room ideas. I thought I'd share some of my favorites with you.

I love this shelving idea! It's very inexpensive plus durable and sturdy.
And I love how they've made the lowest shelf into a desk!

I'm in love with these hanging globes!! And the maps wallpapering the wall!!
I've wanted to do the map thing for the longest time, but haven't had the right space.
But I know I've got the globes to do this, if it works in the room.

This is a great way to display the kiddos' artwork and I'm kind of liking

the way they hung the chalkboard at the bottom of the wall.
We have a chalkboard, about this size in fact, and I'm wondering

if I would like this~or if I would get tired of bending over to use it myself:)
Maybe hang it in the middle with artwork above and below??

And so the daydreaming continues...
