Hey y’all! It’s been a while. I hope you all are well and thriving though this time. I try my best to always find the good even when it’s hard. What’s the point of being negative about any situation that you have no control over. Find the good, pray about it and give it to God! It’s not a bed of roses over here, but I always try to stay positive. I love the time we are getting to spend with my husband. He has always worked long hours and traveled and he has been laid off for about a month now. He has been helping around the house with many things including projects that we have been working on for months. We are almost done with the kids’ schoolroom/playroom and I’m loving it! I wanted to share some of the items that we purchased on a budget before the Coronavirus hit. We have been homeschooling our children since the beginning of school but wanted a cozy space for them. We wanted a space that we could keep their school material organized. I love the way it’s turning out. We put together the desk with an Ikea desktop and 2 file cabinets and it worked out perfect for our space. You can find one similar here. One of my favorite things we added was this adorable bookshelf.
It holds quite a few books and it was the perfect size for the space we had. I shared the link above for the bookshelf. It has good reviews and it’s on sale for $52.99.
I searched for comfortable yet kid friendly desk chairs, I had a couple of ones that I loved but was not practical for kids and this space is for them. I wanted something fun and safe for our 5 year old to sit in and be able to do school work or arts and crafts and I believe we found the perfect ones for our space and for our children. Everyone has different taste and different needs, find what works for you and your family. I’m linking the ones here that we love, they are reasonable priced and has good reviews.
Here’s the link to the chairs that we originally had plan to purchase but it just wasn’t practical with our family and the need that we had. It comes with four chairs and the price is great and has great reviews plus free shipping.
There’s several ways you can build this desk but we chose to use the file cabinets for support. There’s several different ones to chose from but I will link some similar ones here. The ones we purchased were cheaper but I can’t find the link to those. Another purchase we made from Ikea was the white floating shelf. They have two different colors but I love the white ones. I love the way the floating shelf turned out and if my son and I can install them, anyone can. Here’s the link for the shelf here.
I also have some other ideas and items that I would love to add but trying to keep it simple in this space because it’s a small area but would love to share with y’all some other bookshelves. This bookshelf on wheels is adorable and here’s a book caddy if you are looking for that style, bookcaddy it’s so cute! We went with the one we had space for since we have a small home and small area for this project. I hope this was helpful to some of y’all like me that may have books setting around that need a place for them.
We still have some finish touches to do but I will keep y’all posted and show y’all the final results. I really believe that this space will turn out to be one of my favorite spaces in our home. We have plenty of projects still left to finish and I can’t wait to show you all. If you have any questions please feel free to email me, I’d be happy to answer any questions! Y’all stay safe and have a blessed week!
