Learning space pictures

Here are some pictures of our "learning space". I am a little late, but I was encouraged to share this after viewing the lovely learning spaces included in the Lovliness Fair. This is a brag on God and my husband, who made this space possible. Our learning space, with a bedroom and bath, are almost the same size as the house we lived in with 9 children--that one was 980 sq ft! But we even had a "learning space" back then--the dining room crammed with books, etc. Now we have 800 sq ft dedicated to the kids and their exploring and learning (besides the rest of the house and the "garden").




This is our main academic area, with slots for the children and a place for our notebooks, which are stacked along the wall on the left and are hard to see from this angle. The window looks out to our backyard, so if the little ones go out to play, I can keep tabs on them. The door on the left opens into the supply closet.



This is part of my supply closet



This is the area that we sit in the morning and have our "discussions".  The basket on the windowsil is full of little books for the tiny ones to "read". There is also a small armoir with a television, DVD player and stereo in the opposite corner. The computer desk is in the left corner, at the bottom of the stairs.



This is our main book area downstairs (there are many more bookshelves upstairs on the other two floors as well).



Here is our "toys area".

Most of the furniture and books were either given to us, are from garage sales, or were found at the thrift store--so God has been so good to bless us with being in the right place at the right time, so that we could enjoy nice things without a heavy price.

Of course, it doesn't look as neat after a morning of idea-sharing and wormie-squirmie little bodies! There are loads of open spaces, which are wonderful in the winter time when it's too cold to play outside.

I need organization and cleanliness in my home in order to function. I like yours too as it is a place that I could relax in and teach.
