Vintage Homeschool Room Tour

Step inside our vintage homeschool room, and discover what takes place in these four walls! From organization to curriculum, many treasures are stored in this space, and even many memories are made.

Today, I am very excited to reveal our homeschool room! My husband, Garrett, and I have worked on this room for months. Thanks to him, he helped me bring my vision for a vintage homeschool room to life. I am very pleased with this room, and it has quickly become my favorite room in our house.

The idea behind this room, was to create an inviting space where my children felt excited to learn, and play would be purposeful. I truly believe that when toys are too abundant and disorganized, a child will not play with them. Studies have shown that scattered toys, missing set pieces, and an overwhelming amount of options can discourage a child from playing. The whole idea behind this room, was to have toys categorized and organized, so play could be efficient and purposeful. I wanted, and still want my children to be able to reach baskets, know what they have available to play with, and use their imagination to make multiple uses out of a small amount of toys.

Vintage Homeschool Room Gallery Wall

I love to teach my children about art and history, so these pictures really stood out to me. My children love to listen to the “Little House on the Prairie” books. We have the early reader picture books, along with the chapter books, and my children are truly captivated. When I came across this paintings, I knew they would be the perfect addition to our homeschool room. The middle picture of the woman looking at the Scottsbluff Monument is even more meaning for me because it is located around where I grew up.

Learning Corner

Although learning happens throughout this room, I wanted a designated table and area where schoolwork was predominately done at. I purchased the table and mirror from an antique store, the chairs, chalkboard, candle holder, paintings, and rocking chair on Facebook Marketplace, and my grandma sewed me the little blankets for my classroom when I was a public school teacher. My children love to use them to sit on in the room, and when we do schoolwork outside.

Wall Shelves

I am obsessed with floated shelves, especially organized floating shelves. I purposely planned the bottom shelf to be a height my children could reach, and is where all of their toys are stored. The second shelf holds manipulatives, curriculum materials, our home altar, and chalkboards. The third shelf primarily houses extra art and learning materials. I placed these baskets on the top to be the farthest away from my children.
