{Making a Home} | Temporary Schoolroom: Finished!
C’mon in and have a look around.
- Our cultural studies basket, set up with the India resources.
- St. Anthony, a gift from my mom, watching over the children.
- Papa’s liturgical books get a special roost.
- The nature table. Not filled up yet. We’re making a new chalkboard, too. This one was not meant for heavy use.
When the mantel comes back into the room, we will use it for our liturgical year displays. We still need some artwork on the walls, and to change out the beautiful overhead light fixture for something that allows more light. But it’s pretty wonderful. Thanks be to God!
ETA:: Most everything you see here was thrifted or gifted. Anything we bought new, was bought at at a discount place. Everything was painted to match, so what looks like a large matched set, wasn’t. Many of our Montessori materials are handmade, except for the pink and blue rods and the set of bells in the green cartons – those were purchased, used, from a fellow homeschooler. You CAN do this in your own home, if you can spare the space. I promise.

It is! And – bonus – it is the coolest room in the house in the summer. Keeps them put.
