schoolroom phase II

I am doing a little more to the schoolroom. This weekend's project was to laminate and frame (with trim) a world map poster. I cut three of the 4 sides of trim wrong and went to Home Depot a total of 3 times, but it's done! I think it looks pretty good (pat, pat). I put it low for the kids to be able to see it, so I think I'll use allison's idea of using letters and spell the word "explore" above it.

I got this ugly chair on Craigslist for $20 that I am going to put this fabric (red with tiny white dots) over it. The fabric panel of the children playing ring-around-the-rosie is going to be a big pillow. I got the frames from the dollar store and painted them black and Todd made the kids' sillhouttes on the computer. We went on a drive to get the branch at a campground (trees are scarce here in Utah, not like AR)! I made the stuffed fabric birdies (4 more are in the making):

All I have left is the "explore", the curtains, and baskets for the bookshelf and I'll be done and show you the finished product!
