Helen is hosting a fair of Loveliness in Learning Spaces, the second in a series of Living Lives of Loveliness .
We just call our learning space a plain old school room. It was designed to be the formal dining room in the house but is way too small for that. It's actually too small for all the books and activities we try to cram in here.
I was struggling to find the loveliness in it. After thinking about it, I realized it is packed full of life! We have spent hours in here reading, crafting, discussing, using the computers, and rocking babies (the computer chair rocks). The walls are covered with the things we are working on and the things that interest us. Everyone likes to be in here. Those things are lovely.



Woo Hoo! Welcome to the wonderful world of blogging! I love your pics! Thank you so much for sharing!
it looks like you have been busy ...your blog is lovely!

Bridget, I LOVE the long computer counter! I've envisioned something similar for our home, but never knew quite how to make it work. Ya'll are brilliant! (And I love that your first blogging highlight was about the baby. :) )

It's great fun!

Great job utilizing a small space! I have the exact same issue and it is a challenge! You are right, though, that it is all the learning and loving that happens in there that makes it so lovely!

I think it is quite lovely. I really like the wall of holy images along with the children's art.
Blessings,
