So, my favorite part of the room has to be the Cafe! Yes, I will have a cafe sign and some little lights at some point. But, they just didn't make it in the room before school started. To be honest, my cafe itself almost didn't get completed before school started.
My sweet hubs made the fence and painting it was a challenge. I decided to spray paint it, and it decided to rain... for an entire week. Ugh! So on Sunday morning there was a little sunshine and I painted. Very quickly. The fence had just enough time to dry too. My brick wall, out of stock. I almost didn't use it and am so happy I did though.
We have such high ceilings, so hanging fun stuff from them was not an option. So the hubs came back and hung a very strong fishing line from corner to corner. Needless to say, one corner kept falling. But, he fixed that too. So after a crazy week of teacher meetings, teacher work days, and lots of rain.... my room was finished, and I couldn't be happier!!
After many months of planning, here it is!!
I really love how it turned out!! Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. My next post will be on organization and my first week. I learned a lot each day.
Thank you all for staying with me during this journey!!
Your room is so beautiful! I think you should be an interior designer or a room designer. Absolutely perfect!
ReplyDeleteThank you Carol! Decorating classrooms would be a blast! I love going to work and seeing this. Most importantly, I love that the kiddos love it!
DeleteWOW!!! Your room is GORGEOUS, Jeannie! You know I have lots of questions and we need to compare how things are going! Message me when you have time to chat. :-)
ReplyDeleteCynthia, I sure will. Thank you so much!! I'm making sure to write/blog about it so I don't forget the little things. We'll chat later today for sure!! It'll be good to get your thoughts as well.
DeleteWhat a beautiful room! So calm and inviting. I love that yellow IKEA couch. I have been eyeing it up for my classroom too! lol. Thanks for sharing pics of your room. Great job!

The brick wall is blowing my mind! First, I love the color scheme. But how does the brick wall work? I am so confuse. Does it serve as a way to cover up storage? Is it hanging from the ceiling or is it attached to a wall of some kind?!
ReplyDeleteI was just looking at these photos again- such a dreamy classroom! Amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteLove your room!!!! Where did you get the tables from?
ReplyDeleteWhat do you do when you need to teach whole group math lessons with manipulatives where kids need to see a SmartBoard??
ReplyDeleteYour room is AMAZING!! I also had a question about the “brick” wall. What is it? Is it paper? Where did you get the grayish awning?
ReplyDeleteQuick question, I am planning on buying the white tables you have next to the cream supply carts...but they have a few sizes online. What length are your tables??? They look perfect for my 2nd and 3rd graders. I am trying to streamline everything and don't want to order larger tables than needed. Your room looks great!!!!
ReplyDeleteHI, I'm not sure of the exact size but they are the smaller ones that cost around $8 or $9. I hope that helps. :)
Deletehi,
ReplyDeleteThis class is to die for! great job!
I'am just wondering where did you purchase the 6 cube organizer shelf ...I can't seem to find it at Ikea.
