Flexible seating the reveal!!

I am so excited to share the pictures with you all. My kiddos love their new classroom and the feedback has been positive. Thank goodness...

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!!

  4. 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?!

  8. Your 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?

  9. Quick 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!!!!
