it's the second week of the NOT back-to-school blog hop, hosted by heart of the matter online, and this week we're talking about our schoolrooms!
our schoolroom hasn't changed much since we set it up last year. we've added a few things, edited a few things out, rearranged a bit. but essentially it is the same and for one reason: we don't spend much time in there. :) we kind of learn wherever we are, and the schoolroom should rightly be called a resource area.
however, as part of a whole-house makeover, we did add a pleasant little spot to the living room: a library/reading nook.
ella sorted thru her books and kept the ones she cared about most, and took the rest to the local mckay used book store to resell--she earned enough to buy books for the rest of this year! and we also have a place to snuggle up and read that will be even cozier when winter settles in.
we kept the nature table on top of the bookshelf as it was before, and we organized a little zen area with our bells and our meditation jar. we call it the centering center. :)

sadly, the library nook displaced the sweet little book club that ella had crafted a couple of years ago. we loved that book club--and we were both saddened to lose it--but she was a trouper about it, and now we're waiting for inspiration on where that little "secret" nook should crop up next.
