I love your red walls! Very cozy. We have a large home, with a designated "school room" but, we have ended up doing school at the dining room table and playing ping pong in the school room…lol
Joy Kincaid says
Thank you! The dining room table seems to be a natural place, doesn't it? And that is so funny about playing ping pong in the school room! 🙂
Bekah says
Love it! We use our dining room for most of our schooling 🙂 I just love having lots of natural light coming in 🙂

My oldest will be a junior this fall, and we've never had a school room. We used to do most of our work on the couch, but at this house it's in the basement. So now we do our read alouds and such in a sunny corner of the living/dining room. The kids have always done their independent work wherever they choose: in their rooms, laying on the hall floor, maybe even sitting at the table.
They used to all have a school bag for their supplies; the last few years I have kept everything on shelves downstairs (no space upstairs–our table for 8 takes up most of the living room). We should start using bags again since we can't store our books & supplies in the room where we use them.
Joy Kincaid says
We successfully used school bags for several years, and they can be so handy! They're especially nice for portability. Thanks so much for stopping by!

We have a daylight rambler with a finished basement downstairs. It's the same with us – we always gravitate to the sunny kitchen table to work on school, but the downstairs serves as "home base" for "stuff". We use shelves too, but I have canvas bins that hold their school. Each child has a bin and a shelf. This way they can put it away, but it's portable to where ever they need to be. 🙂
Joy Kincaid says
I love the idea of canvas bins on the shelves!
Ginny Gafford says
We, like you, enjoy the comforts of our kitchen table for most of our activities! We have a playroom and I think I'll eventually make it more of a school room set up. For now it holds our supplies on big shelves along with all our toys and games. I love the idea of school at the kitchen table. It's already where great moments and discussion happen so why not make it a bigger part of the day by having school there?!
I love your set up. It looks cozy and the perfect place for school!
Joy Kincaid says
You're so right, Ginny! The kitchen table is so central in our lives, and doing school there works well for us right now. Although if I had the option for a school room right off the kitchen (like a dining room) I would love that!
Kristin says
Beautiful! I was just thinking how I LOVE the paint color! It makes the room warm and inviting. 🙂 When we first began homeschooling, we had our school room in our basement, but have also moved ours upstairs in our dining room. I love having the kids upstairs with me that way I can keep an eye on them to make sure they are doing what they are supposed to be doing. 🙂 I love how organized you are!
Joy Kincaid says
Thank you, Kristin! Liz has the same paint color, too. 🙂 I do like it, but it does make the kitchen a bit dark. That's wonderful that you have a dining room you can use. It is so nice to have the kids where you can see them! 🙂
Mrs.Rabe says
We have never had a school room! We do our work together in the living room or at the table (our kitchen and living room are all one big room) and then the kids do their independent work in their rooms, at the table or even outside in a tree! (My Sarah loves to read sitting in one of our trees in the front yard!)

Oh, yes, trees are such wonderful "chairs!" 🙂 It's so picturesque, to see children reading in the trees.

I love your pictures, your house feels so home-y. I don't yet homeschool. My son is 8 months old, but we plan to homeschool him when he's older. We'll probably do much of the same and do the school work at the kitchen table. I'm not sure yet though because it's so far in the future, I just love reading about homeschooling to get myself prepared!
I have a blog link-up on Fridays, called Free to Talk Friday, I hope you'll come and join. It's open now at dreamingofperfect.weebly.com
Thanks!
