Homeschool space or lack there of

Oh how I wish we had a spare room or even a basement for me to homeschool in. I see all these homeschool rooms and I think of a million things I could do to one and make it special. Sure I only have one homeschooler but still. I don't over purchase things so it won't take up a ton of space. Last year and the start of this year we used the kitchen table. I have heard of most people doing that which is fine until you need that table. It ends up with a mound of messy papers, books, crayons, craft and it becomes overwhelming and then you end up losing your kitchen table. I decided I was about done using that table. Besides Keeli needed a little space just for school. I found a small table at an antique place my MIL works at (this table isn't an antique) but it was perfect for our small house. There is just enough room for Keeli to do her work and have her books on. Plus I took a fish bowl poured some messy paint drips on the inside of it and added a bow and we put her crayons and color pencils in it. They end up all over the house so instead of worrying about a box we can just toss them in the fish bowl. Keeli had an art easel that I haven't been happy about since Santa brought it. So I broke it down and hung the chalk board on the wall, it had little shelves on the easel to put your chalk and paints in so I took those apart and hung them on the wall... One is for her little reader books and the other one is for her glue and scissors. This keeps those out of reach from the 2 year old. The desk does have a drawer and I use it for her drawing papers. It's a small little area and it's right by the kitchen table but it's serving it's purpose. Since we used little things we already had and the old table was my MIL's we got it for free! The only thing I did to it was paint the top black. I am going to stencil ABC's along the top and get some cute knobs... I'm proud of our free homeschool space. And I have my kitchen table back!!
