Today and yesterday I started decorating my classroom!  School begins next week, and I think I’m making good progress so far 🙂  I’m not ready for a reveal yet, but I thought I’d share some little details!

This is my filing cabinet.  The side that faces the room is in decent shape, so I didn’t cover it with any paper before setting up my classroom jobs display.  The top, however, was a different story!  It was rusting and quite ugly to look at, so I decided to use contact paper
to cover it!  My mom helped me adhere the paper to the cabinet… it wasn’t easy {I’m not a pro like Ms. White!} but we managed to get it down with very few bubbles!  I also added pink chevron washi tape
trim, because the contact paper was *justthismuchsmaller* than the cabinet.  I love the way it looks!!  SO much better than rust!!



I have three sky wires that run across my classroom: two for student work, and the one above.  This one is smaller than the others, and it’s in front of my classroom closets.  Because the doors are so dark, I needed a little somethin’ to brighten the space… hence these beeeeautiful paper lanterns from School Girl Style!  I could stare at them all day!


Layered border seems to be a popular choice this back-to-school season, so I thought I’d jump on the layering train!  I got this bright polka dot border from Teacher Created Resources {blue and pink} and the gray chevron from a local teacher store.  I put them together and capital L-O-V-E how they look!!  As you can see, I have the blue/gray combo framing bright pink paper, and the pink/gray combo framing bright blue paper.  Gotta color coordinate!!


Aaaand that’s all for now! 🙂


What small details did you add to your classroom?
