Classroom Befores

It's almost back to school time which means it is a super crazy time at our house! I've started putting my classroom together and I'm doing some super cute things that I am SO excited about. I thought it would be fun share what my classroom space looks like so y'all will know what I'm talking about. Keep in mind these are all befores...no afters yet.
This is the before, before. I work in a newer school (only 5 years old) so I have a nice space to work in.

Here are the befores after I pushed some furniture around...

My MIL made these beautiful curtains to cover up some open shelf storage. I knew I'd never be able to keep the shelves looking pretty so I needed to cover them up. They look kind of bubbly & weird because of all the stuff I had to store under them during the summer.

Some inspiration...

I saw this super cute branch with hanging birds over at dear lillie and thought it was the perfect idea for my classroom. Instead of hanging just birds I'm also going to add some owls. I'm planning on hanging this in front of my classroom window.

I can't wait to finish this project! I'll make sure I take pictures to share! Just for fun here is the progress in my classroom right now. Hope your enjoyed your peak into my home away from home!
