School starts in a week and my classroom library and writing table needed an update!  The shelves were a faded purple and yellow with mismatched book tubs...SO...I painted! YAHOO for what a new coat of paint can do!

I still have book tubs of all colors but I put like colors together and that helped give the library a more organized look.

I made a trip to The Dollar Store for some matching book baskets and tubs.  As you can see I had to make another trip for 4 more green baskets!  The matching color made this particularly ugly school provided metal book shelf look a little more inviting.

Thank goodness for Pinterest!  These crates from Walmart make the perfect seats for the 'too small' left over tables I was able to snag for my Writing Area.   I have hung pictures of the center the way it looks now as a guide for clean up.  I made the cushions from fabric remnants and the best part is the crate-seats scoot all the way under the table and out of the way!
