The majority of the schoolroom is now done - only a few things left to do. This is our 7th year home schooling, so it is long overdue. We've schooled in the gameroom mostly and that worked well when 2 were learning and 3 were playing. I could also see the sandbox and swingset. However, last year we moved upstairs to reduce noise for Daniel (the office was next to us). Now I have 5 schooling, so we need a better place to have everything organized and together.
This is "before"- Rachel's purple room (which was also a nursery for Ryan and Rush). Rachel has now finally moved out (like Peter Pan and Wendy) of the nursery - and will be 9 soon!
Here are the "after" pictures - this is Rush and Ryan's corner with all the Kindergarten type things they love. Ryan's desk is in front of the window - wood and white.
This is a picture I saw and painted on their wall. Rush loves the aliens in the flying saucer - but, we're studying Astronomy this year, so it will come in handy.
Second, fourth, and sixth grade corner. The empty wall on the left is getting a big dry erase board.
My desk, which is actually from Rachel's room. She wants to use the big table. The door on the left goes to the hall, the door on the right goes to the Master. (I'm recovering the chair) 
Daniel let me have one of his gorgeous bookcases from his office, but it's already full!

Wow. You did a great job. All the houses that I used to go to that homeschooled just worked at the dining room table. I think it's a great idea, if you have the room to have a school room. I think I would be more motivated to get my work done.
And great painting on the wall. I like the aliens too. Haha.
Sweet! I am trying so hard not to be jealous. =) You did a great job painting the solar system picture. Did you do that free hand, or do you use a projector to get the picture on the wall before you paint?
Bookshelves are a must! We have outgrown ours and are in desperate need of another one. I guess that will be my next "big" purchase. =)
Hey, Peter reminded me of this stuff we used to sell at our old store. It's spray on dry erase board. Here's a link. But he thought you may be more interested in this than an actual board. just a thought.

Before and after photos are the best. The new school room looks great and it is amazing to think you have five using it this year!
I love the space design on the wall. Great job.
