Homeschool Classroom Makeover

You asked for it, we’re giving it to you!
When an Army family needed a homeschooling classroom remodel, we were there to help get it into shape. We set them up for learning success with a high contrast design that made the space both visually appealing and functional.

We received a huge response from our viewers looking for details on where to get their hands on the materials we used in our design. So we’re going to give them to you here! You can recreate this space, or use these ideas as inspiration for a design that meets the needs of your home and family.

The perfect work space:
Starting with the 3-person workstation, including cabinets and lumber for a wall length desk that gives everybody their own space to get their work done. This worked great in the homeschool space, but you could consider something similar for a shared home-office space as well.

The table top for the work station was made using 2x10x12 lumber we picked locally at HomeBase and could be found at Home Depot or Lowes depending on your location. And we stained it with this Minwax Stain in the Provincial finish.

The task lighting also helped add an easy and innovative upgrade from the previous light features in the room. With remote access puck lights placed right inside the sconces, each person could personalize the light needed in their station, and there was no electrical wiring work needed. We know easy, no-fuss DIYs are important for busy families. We used the 3M tape that came with puck lights, but I would recommend additional glue depending on the fixture you use so that the puck stays in place.
 
We have linked the puck lights with remote here. And the original wall sconces we bought  at Homebase  but here is something similar. We bought the black chairs from Ikea to make the contrasting design POP!
 
Time to get organized and independent!
We found a great memo board at Ikea for the space on the wall above each station.
 
You can find a Magnolia Home chalkboard and school house desk just like the ones in our design on Overstock.com.

That fun personalized hanging file folder system came with grey felt hanging file holders from Target and the Scrabble Tiles are an easy find on Amazon.
Adding homeyness to that high-contrast design
It’s vital to help make military housing feel like home. We always add details to make sure the redesigned space suits your practical needs, and presents the comfort your family is looking for. We got our 4-tiered bookshelf to store knick-knacks and stylized decor from At Home, and that cozy round gray rug can be found at Ikea!

Today I have come publicly to let everyone who cares to listen and willing to bring back their lost heart desires . My name is Willie Trunk from Georgia, USA. I came here to testify about a legitimate spell caster Dr Ozigidon, who helped me to reunite with my Ex-husband after 3 years of divorce. I contacted him on Whats-App (+2349054750112) after reading so many testimonies of his powerful spell and within 72 hours my husband and I were reunited. Today our marriage is filled with more love like we never had a divorce. I appreciate the good work of Dr Ozigidon and I am recommending him with trust to everyone who wants their heart desires back or have fertility challenges. Contact his email (drozigidonhenz.spell.net@gmail.com) With all confidence, you shall give a great testimony.
