Such a cute space. I love how everything coordinates but isn't super matchy-matchy. I would like to go to school there! 😄 I remember when you homeschooled in your old house.
Beautiful school room! I really wish I had a spare room for homeschooling. For now we work on the dining table and coffee table in my small living room. I keep all my homeschool supplies AND books in my “linen” closet.
It looks beautiful! I love the rug, and the floor cushions and all the books! You have inspired our school in many, many ways. I appreciate so much of what you share and have used many of your tips and ideas. Thank you!!!!
I'm so glad to see this video. I currently have my homeschool space in my dinning room area, no ideal but it works. But my family was just approved for a habitat for humanity house, which is such a blessing. But I have been having a bit of anxiety thinking of the small amount of space that will be in the house, that won't allow a homeschool room, to the point I've even thought of not going forward with the house. But you are right, you can homeschool anywhere and a plus is we will have a yard to enjoy and we can homeschool out there as well!
I would encourage you to go for the new house. I've been homeschooling for 13 years and we prefer schooling from the living room and dining room. We had the opportunity to have a homeschool room when we moved 6 years ago and we never used it! I teach lessons in the living room and dining room. The 4th-12th graders often take their independent work to their rooms. It has worked very well for our large family.
I love it and it looks like a great space to be. The accent wall is gorgeous and you used such good decor to compliment it. I'm sure this will be a great place for all of you to study and spent together. Love it.
I think the first video of yours years ago was the one where you showed us your homeschooling space in your dining room and how you don't need a dedicated room to homeschool. Thank you for all you share!
Thank you for the inspiration..we don't have a dedicated room. We use our dining room table and my kids have a desk each in their rooms as my son is now in high school and sometimes needs to work alone. I love the bookshelf and cart 💞
Ooh love it! Right now we’re still in an apartment (after selling our house that had a ton of built ins in the dining room- would’ve been perfect 😩) and we are limited on space, but getting some bins with lids, wiping down walls and we are recovering our kitchen chairs and painting them to refresh them will breathe so much life into a space I’m needing to be content in for the season🤍
Hi Ashlee! My oldest is in 3rd, so you are several years ahead of me! I love seeing how your homeschool room and curriculum changes as your kids get older! It helps me to see a glimpse of the path ahead! Thanks for sharing!!
I can totally see what you are saying in regards needing separate space as they get older! We are experiencing that transition in our homeschoool, currently!
Very nice. My 12 cube storage unit is getting delivered today. Our homeschool room is in the living room. My husband built a ceiling to floor bookcase for me on one wall but with 12 kiddos (13 but one graduated already) I needed more room. I just gave away a bunch of chapter books to other family to declutter. Sold old curriculum and switched to TGATB for Language Arts, Math (for elementary), and History. We don't use desks but I got the kids lap desks so they can sit on the couch. We use to use our dining room table but being pregnant the end of last school year we moved to the couch where I was more comfortable. Once she was born we decided we liked the couch better than the hard chairs and table 😆
I ordered Built Bars today…for my husband and myself. They were out of Rocky Road, but we are trying the peanut butter brownie! 😋 Anyone can homeschool, and anyone can homeschool anywhere! We have a designated homeschool room, but we still use our entire house every single day! That’s what brings the HOME into our homeschool.☺️ Enjoy your new space. It looks great!!
It looks great and probably feels even better! A fresh space is always a great way to start off a new school year. I have agreeable grey all through my house and LOVE it. Love your Disneyland art!
It's lovely. I would want to lock the kids out and sip my coffee in there! We never do our work in our homeschool room. It's just a great place for storage.
Love your homeschool room! We are in a small home so it’s all done at our dining room table so I don’t really get to decorate a room, but I enjoy seeing what everyone else does and getting organizational ideas for how to store things in our small cabinet. Thanks for all you do, Ashlee! 💜
We are in a tiny home to! This is our first year of homeschooling so, we will see how it goes. I've been told switching locations thougout the day can be helpful though.
I loved this video so much!! We are so alike! I don’t often find inspiration from these kinds of video because I typically end up feeling overwhelmed and/or behind in my own world. 🤪 But my personality type is a lot like you and so I loved the organization and explanation of why you moved things or have things where you do. I am in need of a new printer and I was so overwhelmed by the choices out there so I’m definitely getting the one you recommended here. Thanks girl for sharing! Prayers for a blessed school year for your family. 💚
I love the space ! I’m teaching my first grader and my 5 year old kindergarten this year. We’re going to work at the kitchen table and the living room but some day I hope to have a home school room.
Oh I felt that in my soul when you said you are almost ready to not use crayons anymore. God knows how annoyed I get when the kids purposely break them, peek the wrappers off and leave them under the furniture. But omg I the reality will hit hard when my kids start hating crayons as they get older.
We are loving our built bars too! My husband was doubtful. LOL 😆 I love the room. Ashlee, you seem to be bursting with energy the last couple videos, I love it, its contageous!
Everything looks great! I remember when you bought that printer from Costco. When we became Costco members this year I checked to see if they still had that printer at our local store. They did! It was such a good price and I’ve been using it quite a bit already. 🤗
Same here. We have a school room do some subjects there some at the couch…but if I didn’t have that room where would I keep it all?!! But yes it could be done without one if you have to.
It's gorgeous, such a lovely space to school in ❤️ it's so strange being English and seeing the flag and the pledge, it's not something you do in England really, I love to see the cultural differences it's so interesting 😎👍❤️
I am impatiently waiting on their new constitution course. We should be finishing up year 3. In the next couple weeks. I watched your videos for a year before I gave tgtb a chance and I'm obsessed with them now. They are a majority of our curriculum.
What curriculum did you decide on for High School Math? I'm looking for something that is a bit more of a challenge as well. We are starting with TT, but I am curious. Also, what is a great series of books for older girls? I struggle with the appropriateness with the more challenging books. Cute space!!!
Loved this final school room video! Ahhhh organization, so calming. Your gray carpeting looks so nice and plush. Do you happen to know the manufacturer or name? We REALLY need to replace the carpet in our upstairs!
Such a super place !! I love it I dont have a school room but I have a desk . Atleast god has gave us something. Ur blessed to have this home and home school an during kids are so blessed to have this hoem school . In my room I have a desk which is foldable rack with 4 racks on side I love it. I thank god for giving me atleast a desk . I have desk but even I use dinning gable , bed , sofa, floor , everywhere . Thx plz pin me
I would love to know more about your clear out each year. We have been homeschooling for a few years now are starting to out grow some books etc. I recycle all the extra papers and such each year but haven’t really gotten rid of books we are ready to move on from. Do you just donate to a thrift store or somewhere else?
If you have time, could you let me know if the Epson printer is heavy? We will be snowbirding this winter and I'm looking for a lightweight/compact printer. Thanks for the encouraging videos.👍
I stopped using crayons after our first year homeschooling. We were living in Germany, and non of the kids there use crayons, just colored pencils. So we adopted it, and my boys learned early that they prefer colored pencils.
Love it! It is so functional and beautiful! I also love and appreciate that it isn’t matchy matchy and that it is realistic! Sometimes I see homeschool rooms looking all picture perfect (or as you say, Pinterest worthy) and think to myself “Do you have kids actually school in there? Like it looks great how you have all your crayons lined up in the container on the shelf as a rainbow but half way through our day I promise you it will not look like that!” Lol. Question….. what is you favor oil to diffuse during the day (not necessarily brand but type)?
I have a question about tgatb constitution subject. Is this true "no one saw slavery as morally wrong because it was so common, and the founding fathers really had no choice BUT to institute slavery. the abolishment of slavery was a radical new idea! lead by the church!" Is this what tgatb is teaching? Do you truly believe this and will be teaching your children this?
What I teach and how I teach it to MY children is not anyone else’s business. Our conversations in our home are mine and mine alone. Before the days of social media, would you be asking another homeschooling mom what they teach their kids? No. But since you asked, I share age appropriate truth with my children surrounding slavery as a whole. All the way back to biblical slavery - through present modern day slavery (s*x trafficking). That’s the beauty of homeschooling.
Such a cute space. I love how everything coordinates but isn't super matchy-matchy. I would like to go to school there! 😄 I remember when you homeschooled in your old house.
Wow! Thankyou for sticking with us through the years!
I’m homeschooling mainly in my bedroom. 🤷🏻♀️ I have my desk , my daughter’s table, homeschool cart, a teacher basket and a white board.
What a lovely schoolroom! I have been homeschooling for 22 years and am amazed at your creativity. May you have a blessed school year.

We just bought an epson printer also. We love it too. Great printer. Loved the video.
Looks great! I don't have a dedicated space, but we do great. Some day I may have a space, but for now, we use the living room or kitchen table.
I love the refresh! I feel like my style is pretty eclectic and really just find joy at looking at your homeschool space.😊
The globes are so cute! We have one passed down on my husband’s side. I love using it with the kids ❤️
Beautiful. I have been waiting for the final finished room. Ashley it's perfect. Thank you for showing us!
You are blessed. I would LOVE a room just for homeschooling.
It's lovely. I would want to lock the kids out and sip my coffee in there! We never do our work in our homeschool room. It's just a great place for storage.

What a great space!! Love the colors of the walls and the colorful rugs and pillows that you chose.
Thank you for sharing and for the links! What an inviting space for y'all to learn and hang out!
We are loving our built bars too! My husband was doubtful. LOL 😆 I love the room. Ashlee, you seem to be bursting with energy the last couple videos, I love it, its contageous!
They didn’t make EcoTanks when we started, lol, so don’t feel bad. I just got one from n January and I’ve wanted it since they came out.
Love those storybook art prints. What artist did them and where can i get them?
Why did you move away from using the cart for art supplies? I envy the cleanliness of your space :-). My kids are chaos.
Loved drooling over your homeschool room! I am looking forward to redoing ours.. thanks for the inspiration!
It looks so beautiful! I especially love your pillows in your white chair.
Everything looks great! I remember when you bought that printer from Costco. When we became Costco members this year I checked to see if they still had that printer at our local store. They did! It was such a good price and I’ve been using it quite a bit already. 🤗
It’s beautiful! So peaceful and calming!
Same here. We have a school room do some subjects there some at the couch…but if I didn’t have that room where would I keep it all?!! But yes it could be done without one if you have to.
It’s so beautiful!! Love the new rug and fun floor pillows!

On box 2 and my husband and I Love built bars!! Thanks for the code 😌
I can not find the human body poster you have on the wall. I really like it :)
I am impatiently waiting on their new constitution course. We should be finishing up year 3. In the next couple weeks. I watched your videos for a year before I gave tgtb a chance and I'm obsessed with them now. They are a majority of our curriculum.
Great homeschooling room, it looks so clean and calm! Also love love love the disney map, will you share where you got that!!
So cute & cozy Ashley!

Also, what is a great series of books for older girls? I struggle with the appropriateness with the more challenging books. Cute space!!!
We love Teaching Textbooks. For girls, I always start woth Anne of Green Gables.
I love her weekly pad on her desk. I need one for my boy, where did that come from? Thanks!!
Erin. Condren
You look so beautiful that color is your color!!! So excited to watch this 🙌🏻😍😍😍
Thankyou so much!

Loved the space!! You did a great job ☺️
I love love the blue wall! All looks great!
I would love to know more about your clear out each year. We have been homeschooling for a few years now are starting to out grow some books etc. I recycle all the extra papers and such each year but haven’t really gotten rid of books we are ready to move on from. Do you just donate to a thrift store or somewhere else?
Would love to see a video on this as well..
I love it! So relaxing and inviting to learn!
Love your hair!!
Love it! Where did you get Kylee's mint basket that she keeps her work in from?
Dollar tree
Really Love the rug!
The space looks great!!
😍 beautiful!! Thanks for sharing!
If you have time, could you let me know if the Epson printer is heavy? We will be snowbirding this winter and I'm looking for a lightweight/compact printer. Thanks for the encouraging videos.👍
My husband fought with our art line!! Lol. It was comical to watch. I definitely don’t think he’d ever hang another one!!!
Looks fantastic!! 💜
It looks beautiful! Great job!
Do you use laptop or desktop computer for school? I think I need a new one for this year and I have no clue what I should get.
Oh my word! It's darling!
Do you have a link for the chair from way fair?
Looks great!! 📚💙
I stopped using crayons after our first year homeschooling. We were living in Germany, and non of the kids there use crayons, just colored pencils. So we adopted it, and my boys learned early that they prefer colored pencils.
"You can homeschool in..." lol... reminded me of Green Eggs and Ham...😂
That chair 😍
Looks great!
Love the school room😍
I spy a U.S. Constitution course on the shelf. 👀Can't wait! I've enjoyed your promos for it!
Haha! I remember when you got the squirrel! Lol
I love that you do
So cute I love it
Love it!
What’s the brand and color of the blue paint on the wall?
SW Sea Serpent..I looked it up on a prior video. 😊
Love it! It is so functional and beautiful! I also love and appreciate that it isn’t matchy matchy and that it is realistic! Sometimes I see homeschool rooms looking all picture perfect (or as you say, Pinterest worthy) and think to myself “Do you have kids actually school in there?

Question….. what is you favor oil to diffuse during the day (not necessarily brand but type)?
Not Pinterest worthy? It’s a beautiful room!
After your part one, I totally used the sea serpent colour in my house 🤣😂
Haha it’s a great color!
