When my cousin (who had been living with us) moved to San Francisco we found ourselves with an extra room.
The grownups immediately thought “an office JUST FOR US!” (Okay, and a guest room too.)
But we’ve discovered a better use for it.
Our daughter calls it the “other homeschooling room” but it’s really a work space for the whole family. (And we’ll probably call it The Homeschool Room in the long run.)
A place to blog and work from home, yes, but also a place to write stories, scrapbook, draw, sew, play, and read.
(I love the indirect light that pours through that giant window all day.)
We have bins of toys and stacks of educational games and activities.
The “old” homeschooling room will be where we make art and do messy science projects. (We now call it the Art Room.)
Evidently we’re no longer a little one room schoolhouse.
Now to get some art on the walls and find time to decorate and cozy up the space. We have plans.
