Monday Made It and Classroom Before Pics

Hi friends!

I am linking up for the first time for Monday Made It with 4th Grade Frolics.

I decided to finally re-do the stool in my classroom.

I originally painted it blue and white back in the day when my classroom theme was blue/white gingham / garden.  And even though the last couple of years I had been teaching with an apple theme, the 'ol stool stayed the same.  But this summer it got a face lift.

Here is the before:

And here is the after:

Just painted over it with regular paint from Michael's. 

Then covered it with a coat of Mod Podge. 

Ta Da!

I have tons of to-dos for my classroom, so I know I will be back linking up again for more of these link-ups!

I thought you might like to see some before pictures of my new classroom.

I took these in May when I visited the school and met my new class.

(All of the stuff you see is from the teacher who currently teaches in the room. She probably thought I was nuts taking pictures, but I wanted to go home and "plan"!)

Do you have any ideas or advice for my new space?
