Back to School

September is here which means that I just bid farewell to a wonderful summer and kicked it into high gear with back to school madness. Since the kiddies don't come in until next week, I've had a good amount of time to get my classroom into tip-top shape for their arrival. Here are the results:

My desk from the kids' perspective and from mine. Organizing accessories from See Jane Work, Ballard Designs, & Etsy.

The welcome sign and the picturesque brownstones across the street.

The newly comfortable cubby benches. Cushions from Bed, Bath & Beyond and Baskets from The Container Store.

Close-up shot of my benches. Can you tell I'm obsessed? I love how these cushions really brighten up the room. The baskets are easy to slide out of the milk crates using the handles on each end and are wide enough to fit those big picture books that never seem to fit anywhere!

They even fit dictionaries and textbooks! I self laminated labels with packing tape and added a bright green grosgrain ribbon to give it a little cute touch.

I hope all teachers out there have a great year. I'm excited to meet my new students and show off this pretty little room!
