The School Room is done

I've pretty much finished the school room now. Down the right-hand side, we have the former TV cabinet, with one of those grey cardboard office stationery things which I have turned on its side (I think) and am using it to keep various books sorted.
Beyond that is my desk, then Beth's. At the far end is a trestle table, which we will be replacing with desks for the other two. We don't want to use the trestle table for computers, etc, as it doesn't feel that stable. And to the left, of course, is an organ. Mark is very excited to be learning the organ, and I'm taking him through the course I had as a child. Unfortunately, I think the last book or two are missing.
Coming back up the left side is the sliding door to the patio, and then a couch that we have had for ages, and don't really like, but it's there. The kids can use it.

And continuing up the left side - 2 small bookcases.Oh, and the dining table, which we use for most of the school work. With my fancy new-to-me jacquard table cloth.

Now to keep things clean.

Thank you. It's a lovely, big house. We've been so blessed to get it.

Hi Emma,
It looks great!

Big houses are excellent - it's much easier to keep a big house clean than a small house.

Wow - what a blessing to have a dedicated schoolroom...especially after the front hallway at your mums!
