I have met many homeschoolers who think having a schoolroom is appalling - over the years (and 5 houses) I have had a variety of different situations and for us I much prefer having a dedicated schoolroom.
It keeps my house clean, my school organzied and is just a better overall way for us.
This is the girls room........ after they cleaned it!

Cozy, right?
I should include pictures of my garage and attic. That is where the rest of my school stuff is -
In my room, are 7 of the floor to ceiling shelves, and three shorter ones. Plus, my monstrous desk.
You can see books piled EVERYWHERE - dressers, floor (note my night stand in the picture directly over this, it is a stack of the coffee table sized books, with a tray on top.
A few years back, I purchased Decorating with Books, and I am so glad I did. It had some ideas I hadn't thought of.
There is a great deal of difference between an eager man who wants to read a book and a tired man who wants a book to read. ~G.K. Chesterton

Thank you for mentioning A Year with the Saints... I had never heard of the book, but it sounds very good. I think that I know what I want for Mother's Day. ;)
