Hello, World!

I know, I know! It's been a hot minute right...and oh the life changes.  There have been a handful.  But I am so excited to be re-motivated, re-freshed, and well re-blogging!!

I do have a new job title and I'm no longer with my firsties. {insert tear emoji} I have settled into a new role as an Instructional Coach.  I am now working with K-5th grades in all subject areas.  Much like teaching 1st Grade, it is both challenging and rewarding.  I'm not going to lie...my 5th grade math skills aren't quite as sharp as my 1st grade literacy skills.  Luckily, I work with a talented group of teachers that make it a bit more manageable.  And of course, I learn a bit more every day.

The new role did mean I would have to move out of my classroom and into an office.  And since my target audience would be adults...I decided to take full advantage when it came to the decor! Check out my office reveal...

I am always inspired by Kate Spade's style and used that for my inspiration and look. 

Rug: Rug USA

Couch: Ikea

I purchased the desk from Craigslist and had it painted locally.  It's my favorite piece!

I found the zebra chair on a neighborhood online garage sale.

I didn't need a dry erase board in my office as much as I needed an organized schedule.  The vinyl chalkboard calendar was a fun solution.  I use chalk markers to change out the dates and activities.

Vinyl calendar: Amazon (Ordered 6)

Curtains: Made from Target flat sheets

Chairs: Online Re-Sale

Pillow Fabric: Hobby Lobby

Quite often, I end up with teachers on my couch just looking for a little escape! (Plus I feed them coffee!)

Wall Prints: At Home

Gold Arrow, Gold/White Pillows, Pillow Fabric: Hobby Lobby

I love having a Keurig in my office.  I was so excited when they came out with white!

 Flowers & Chevron Tray: Home Goods

Pink/Black Mason Jars: Walmart

Coffee Mug: Michaels

White Frame: Hobby Lobby

I added Devine Peel & Stick Wallpaper from Target to my Walmart shelves to fancy them up a bit.

Decorative Boxes: Home Goods

Hashtag: Target (Sprayed with Gold Glitter)

Black/White Vinyl Polka Dots: Hobby Lobby

Chandelier Canvas Hanging: Joss and Main

I'm always adding to this space.  But for now, it makes me smile!

I hope everyone is enjoying their summer and getting some much needed R&R and of course...plenty of giggles!
