Homeschooling, the absolute best way to protect your children. Well done.
Seeing your children eager to start school brought tears to my eyes, reminding me of my days homeschooling our boys. They are grown now and wonderful young men. Homeschooling them was the best decision we ever made and I enjoyed it so much. God bless you and I pray for many wonderful memories as you teach your children.
Awe, it is challenging, but deeply worth it 🥰
Oh Elizabeth! I love your old fashioned school room! It is so beautiful! What a place to train up your children in the way they should go! They are so blessed to have a mother willing to invest the time it takes to train a child. God bless you and I am very proud there will be two future citizens that have not been corrupted by the indoctrination camps that pass for most public schools now days. Great job! That banner is the most precious thing I think I have ever seen! Oh and I am a retired school teacher and you have my blessing! Lol
This all means so much to me Sandra, thank you 🥰
What an ugly and hateful comment about all the hardworking and dedicated teachers out there.😢Shame on you.
@@oldmaplehomeMeh, it looks so uninteresting, you're wasting my time watching this
I can't believe how hard you and Cameron worked. It's absolutely stunning. It warmed my heart to see my grandbabies so happy to go to school. Fantastic job❤
Hard to believe they used to be so exited for it lol… 🙌
Greetings, Elizabeth. You, your husband, and your parents get an A-Plus on this project. We love seeing families work together.
This is too cute and I have always said that any person that homeschools their children is a warrior. I personally didn't do it, but I was still hands on, on their education and homework. Your kids arriving with backpacks was even cuter, you all did a great job and yes, please teach your children cursive, I'm lucky that my kids still got taught cursive and how to read a hand clock. Many blessings to your beautiful family.
I teared up when dad “dropped” them off and the joy in their little faces seeing their teacher! A flood of emotions. Train them up in the ways of the Lord!
Awesome.
I cried too, it was so sweet!! Thank you for seeing the true heart behind our home ✝️🥰
I think it's wonderful you are home schooling your kids. To tell you the truth I never understand why parents did that. But now realizing what has been going on in our public schools, I commend you. We need to take back what our children learn.
Blessings to your family how special when we can teach our little ones about the Lord. Xxxooo
Amen
I've homeschooled both of my kids now. My daughter is graduating and going to college this year and it is so bittersweet. I'd do it all over again if I could. Enjoy every minute of it!!!
What a sweet and refreshing video. To see children in all their innocence, excited and energetic to learn. Most importantly, my heart was so full to see your children's classroom surrounded by all the references to Jesus, the Bible and Scripture. You created such a lovely space, but what you're teaching and pouring into your children is beautiful. May God Bless and Keep You All.
I don't even have young children anymore (grown & gone), but now I want a schoolroom! 😁
Oh, I'd love to go to your school. ❤
The penmanship alphabet on the wall is something we had in public school when I was a child, a very long time ago. So happy to see you are homeschooling your children. It's just the best thing!! Wish everyone could do it.
Your third floor is amazing. The school room is perfect. Your children are truly blessed to have such wonderful parents to provide a beautiful home and a safe space to learn. I think homeschooling is wonderful. Thanks for sharing.❤️📚✏️📚
Thank you friend 🥰
Absolutely beautiful Elizabeth. You gave me goosebumps as I wish that I had homeschooled my children. Thank you for sharing your faith and the love of Jesus.
I have been watching your channel for awhile now, but have never commented on anything, although i should have, you are a Sister in Christ and i am blessed by you. It is so wonderful you are home schooling your children. God bless and protect your family. Your home is stunning , and this vintage school room so adorable.
Thank you so much for the prayer, I truly appreciate that!
Elizabeth, what a great job. It is so wonderful that you and your husband has done something so great for your children ❤. What a wonderful place to learn, grow and experience God’s love.
I can’t believe all of the hard work! You made it happen, and it’s absolutely wonderful! God bless your precious children as they climb those old steps, and enter their schoolroom! I loved this, thank you so much, Elizabeth!
Thank you Cindy!! When we first saw this house, I knew that room would make the perfect school room one day… 2 years later, it all came to be. God always had a plan and he provided according to it 🥰
@@oldmaplehome ❤️🙏🏻❤️
Beautiful job , what a blessing for the children ,and you and your husband as well. I believe that families who are able to are choosing this option especially now a-days as the world that we live in has changed so much.Many Blessings to you and to your family…❤
I think you hit the nail on the head! It is a different world. I am so thankful the Lord provided this opportunity for our family 🥰
Absolutely perfect! I wish we had had homeschooling when my children came along (they're nearly 50 years old, now; of course, I'm still 35. Ha!). Most of all, thank you for making Our Dear Heavenly Father, Dear Sweet Jesus, and Dear Holy Spirit a part of your children's daily instruction. You're a good mom.
Keep your eyes on your goal and don’t lose heart ❤️. Everything you do is beautiful.
Wonderful! Absolutely wonderful! I was a teacher for 20 years and if I school age children now, definitely would homeschool them. Keep your children close to you and close to the Lord. Beautiful verse.
Absolutely!! Thank you ❤️
What a wonderful environment for learning! And what wonderful parents who take their children's education seriously. I'd go back to school there in a heartbeat!!
Elizabeth, I know that painstakingly time consuming energy It takes to make a house a home especially an older home! I get that!!! What a beautiful, one room school house, y’all have created! I love each and every detail y’all have put into it❤ as a fellow, homeschool mom of 16+ years. I can totally appreciate this so much and what a journey it will be! Lots of highs and lots of lows but soak in every moment in between!!!! Happy first day of school ❤❤❤
So wonderful to hear the encouragement from former teachers and homeschool moms. I’ve been needing it lately! However, not a day goes by that we don’t start our school day with a prayer to thank the Lord for this space that He has provided for us. 🥰
@@oldmaplehome yes!!! When we bring our hearts to gratitude, it really does change our perspective! You 100% got this and even at your worst believe me it’s still there best!!! No one loves and wants the best for them more than you and your husband other than God of course! 💕🙏💕🙏
Really lovely - what a sweet, happy place to 'do school' with your littles! I'm a former homeschool mama and I truly appreciate the luxury of having a dedicated homeschool room. It would have saved us a lot of hurrying up to get projects done so we could clear the table for dinner! Our homemade playdoh pyramids might have lived to see another day ... but the kitchen table sufficed, and we were happy to be so close to the kitchen - especially as they got older and were able to be more independent. A classroom addition that might be truly useful ... a mini trampoline is a super helpful learning tool for active little bodies. Jumping while memorizing math facts, Scripture verses, poetry, the presidents, the states and capitals etc. will make learning fun and help to cement the knowledge ... it might not fit the aesthetic, but it was a game changer for my active learners. And you could spray paint it too!
Being close to running water and everything else would be wonderful! We have trek down 3 flights of stairs everytime we need something, but I try and be positive about the exercise I guess 😆
@@oldmaplehome You are definitely getting in your cardio and steps! It’s a beautiful place to learn and grow! Maybe one of those old timey step baskets would be handy for items that go up and down the steps on the daily.
The best part if home education is that you will be an expert on your children and be able to adjust as you go to meet their needs and keep the household running smoothly. We called those ‘mid course corrections’ and chose not to stay married to any system, curriculum, schedule or activity that, after a reasonable trial time, wasn’t working for us. My kids are all grown, but the things they have most often thanked us for are instilling in them a deep love for learning, teaching them skills required to set themselves up for success and the ability to discipline themselves to stick with a task until completed.
Beautiful homeschooling environment and what an inspiration that you are teaching them about God!
Such a charming space with all its nooks and crannies -- and old world allure ! A lot of work, it's wonderful !
Thank you!! It is such a cool old room and I’m so glad we can use and enjoy it everyday now 🍂
This was so fun to watch come to life. I've homeschooled at my kitchen table for 6 yrs. But an actual room would be a dream
I’m so grateful for this space. It makes such a difference having a dedicated space just for learning.
I'm so in love with Victorian Era wood trim. So elegant and just total quality! When I look at modern homes, I see junky particle wood fakery.
It is amazing all the solid oak they put into this house, at least 1 million dollar worth if you were to rebuild this house today.
Your school room looks amazing! Good Job homeschooling them! ❤
What a wonderful place to learn and have a Christian influence curriculum. Have a great school year! 😊
Thank you Elizabeth! We are enjoying it so much and love the curriculum 🥰
I absolutely loved the transformation! You made the classroom so warm and inviting, some of it very nostalgic for me, especially the cursive writing strip. I remember that, but we didn’t have that one until I was in 2nd grade. We had the printing one first, when I was in first grade back in 1965. Didn’t have kindergarten in public schools back then in my state. I did however go to kindergarten,which was run by my church. I still have my kindergarten graduation picture, which was a group photo, we all wore white robes. Had both pastors and our teachers on either side of us.
Again, thank you for taking me down memory lane and letting me share my memories with you! God bless you and your family.
🤎🤎🤎, love it! I did the same with my grandkids playroom. I did a whole section with vintage school room so they could play school, another with an old fashioned old general store, kitchen area and workbench area with pegboards for tools, etc for the boys. They’d invite all their friends over because they said it was the coolest room ever 😂
Very nice, thats a place a child will definitely learn and feel true love.
A beautiful vintage crystal chandellier above that window would have been dead gorgeous.
Love this! What an undertaking for you and your husband and it is just perfect! I admire you guys and I know you enjoyed having your mom along for part of the journey! May God give you wisdom as you teach your precious children. What a blessing ❤❤❤
Thank you so much and thank you for the prayer, I really need that one in particular 🙏
Wow! What a team you and your hubby are for getting this room transformed for your children. God bless every minute they spend in it! 🤗
Thank you so very much!
By far the best homeschool room I’ve seen on RUclips
Wow! Thank you!!
First video I have watched and I loved it! All your hard work paid off and your children have a wonderful and inspiring place to learn! Great job Mom
A beautiful labor of love. The oak over mantle and chest...oh my. Absolutely gorgeous. The floors and woodwork turned out well. Vintage decor is perfect. Congratulations everyone.
Thank you!! Is at that built in amazing 🥰
The floors came out so beautifully! So much better than painting them. The whole room is charming.
Thanks so much! 😊
What a beautiful and special place to homeschool your children! Well done!
As someone who taught 32 years as a substitute teacher, I can’t even tell you how much this video warmed my heart. It was always my goal in teaching to have a classroom that was fun and educational all at once. You’ve accomplished that and so much more. The room is so inviting and will be a great learning space. Lots of great memories will be made there.
Wow, thank you!
You and your hubby are amazing. Your children are blessed.
Thank you! So sweet of you 🥰
We homeschool our children too. I love your cursive writing alphabet posters!!! We have them in print style and maybe italics (slant). Wonderful to see your homeschooling set up! Your children are very blessed!
It turned out lovely. Maybe, later you could add a nice, cozy area where you could enjoy reading together. 🤗
This is WONDERFUL. I got in on the homeschooling a little late. My youngest just graduated last year. I homeschooled her from the shutdowns until graduation. She did so much better. Good luck and God bless on your journey.
Oh that’s good to know! I love the flexibility and one on one I can give my kids 🥰
The new spindles look very nice!!! I'm so happy for you!! Your father is so kind to help!
He is
Apsolutly adorable. Wish we had that while we homeschooled. Enjoy!
Thank goodness your beautiful wood is still original! It’s beautiful!❤
Bats in the belfry... oh my! But then I have squirrels on my roof 24/7. After 51 years, I have made peace with them. Boy was this a labor of love. Lots of work, but so worth it in the end. Love the green paint on the table and desk. And the little stools are so adorable! All your little school wall art is precious. What memories are waiting to be made here.
wish i could have home schooled my children many years ago. what you did is awesome. God bless you and your family.
Awe thank you 🥹
The room turned at beautiful. You both worked so hard to make the space function for your children. They looked very happy. I love all the furniture too. 🙏😊
What a fantastic room! So much hard work but well worth it! You did such an awesome job! Such beautiful home! How blessed to be able to homeschool your kids. The look on their faces made cry! So proud of you all!!!❤
Awe!! I was crying in that clip lol! I had to break it up and removed the sound so I didn’t show too much of them, but it was such a sweet moment.
Great job! Loving the old world charm! Your floors are beautiful ♥️
Thank you!! I cried alot of tears over those floors lol, glad they turned out well.
Fall in love with Jesus 🥰🥰👍
Beautiful! And thanks for thoroughly explaining the process- realistic insight into how much love and work put in.
Absolutely beautiful ,my dear you should be very proud of your self !!your little ones will some day appreciate your efforts and what a great great mother they gave?😍😍😍😍🙏🙏🙏🙏
First time viewer from central Georgia. What a wonderful transformation you all did for this space. Since I'm new I did not see all the other transformations you did for the period furniture. It looks so welcoming and peaceful. I admire all of you families who choose to home school your children. It is a good choice considering the world we live in today. Blessing to you all.
The school room turned out beautiful. Looks like it was a lot of hard work,but what a great space for home schooling.
What a colossal task! You & hubby did an amazing job! The vintage look is so in keeping with the rest of your home, love it. You all are so blessed to be able to home school during these trying times. Looking forward to many more of your videos.
It was the hardest home project to date, but so incredibly rewarding 🥰 We feel so blessed that the Lord provided a home with this perfect space to teach our children in. He is so good 🙏
One of the best edited videos I’ve watched over the years! Loved the music, too! As Crosby, Stills, and Nash sang…”Teach your children well…” Cheers to you and your husband 💕
Wow, I really appreciate that! Thank you 😊
Hi Elizabeth very beautiful wow so refreshing to actually see a Christian family on here thank you love your videos ❤ have bless day.
My favorite verse. I can do all things though christ who strengthen me ❤
As a mom we try to do the best for our children. The floors are amazing and it's great that they didn't get damaged. A vintage classroom is so cute and I saw that your son had a smile on his face, is like the morning of Christmas. You mentioned MaCenna, I love her channel and I'm always looking forward to see her incoming video's just like your channel and the bible scripts. Great makeover!
Wow! This was such a joy for me to watch. I taught kindergarten for 30 years.That innocence and excitement is what it is all about. So pure, so meaningful and so important. You are giving your children such a gift. I thank you!
Love this home. You and your Husband are so good at taking care of her.❤Beautiful school room.
You and your family did an amazing job. Everything turned out beautifully. Your children are surely blessed.
We are so blessed 🥹
My 1st time watching so Hi from Ohio. I would like to say your old house is amazing- I'm so jealous! That attic space is my dream even before you transformed it. But after the transformation~ really took me back to my childhood, I attended a 109 year old school that a lot of the generations of my family went to before me and after me. Such charm gave me all the warm and fuzzies! You did a fantastic job w/everything. Good job!!
What a wonderful learning space for your precious ones!
Thank you so much 😊
This is just beautiful,you can see it was a lot of hard work but so worth it .I was waiting for Mary poppins to walk in …beautiful 😊
Absolutely stunning, what you did with that room! What a beautiful room to learn in! I absolutely love this room and all the beautiful furnishings! May God continue to bless your beautiful family!
Wow, looks so nice!! Great job, yes it is hard work but oh how satisfying it is!! You will always have those wonderfully memories that puts that beautiful smile on your face and those same memories will carry you through when you get much older. You guys did it! For your own home, what an incredible blessing!! And you teach with Jesus right there with you and your little one(s), that is the best decision you guys will ever make!! Praise God!!!!
P.S. could you post a link to where you found that beautiful rug for the floor? That was perfect!!👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️🙏✝️🤓
The floor is beautiful!!! Great idea for the magnetic chalkboard!!! Enjoy your homeschool adventure. We homeschooled our 12 kids. Wouldn’t change it, I loved it!!!
Wow, that's amazing!!! Bless you!
I’ve always called that green paint color 1950s schoolhouse green. Amazing job.
Yes!! You get the vision 💚
Love this Elizabeth!! You guys did a beautiful job in this room! Love the way you love your children and the Lord! Train them up, yes!! Thank you for sharing
Thank you so much Tammy 🥰
I’m literally in tears watching your precious babies excited faces ♥️♥️♥️ you just got a new subscriber:) May God bless your sweet family, and may your children excel in their knowledge in Jesus Name 🙌🏻
Awe you’re so sweet!! So happy you’re here ☺️
This is the most BEAUTIFUL homeschool room and makeover that I've ever seen!!! SO AMAZING!!! I would go back to school if I had a room like that 😉
GOD bless you and who you stand for 🙌🏻🙏🏻❤
Oh you are so sweet!! Thank you so much!
@@oldmaplehome You're very welcome 😊
I hope you have a joyful and blessed academic year training up your children in that amazing schoolroom ❤️
Thank you so much, I appreciate your well wishes 🥰
The old wallpaper looked beautiful.
It was really pretty, but we had to remove it for structural reasons. I actually saved a lot of it if I want to recreate it.
What a beautiful dream come to life… So proud of you.
God bless this new beginning & God bless all of you!!! 🙏🏼
Thank you 🥹
❤ You have a most beautiful home…SO full of character and beauty!
We used tung oil to refinish our floors. It was so easy and we can touch it up whenever and wherever needed throughout the years.
God blesses you all and you are a blessing✨🏡✨
How beautiful the room became🌹🙏may GOD ' s favour never leave you✨🙏
What a beautifully inspiring environment in which to learn. Blessings to you in Jesus name.
Dearest, it looks beautiful!! All your hard work with your husband, should be commended ❤. I loved the music you inserted in the beginning of your video ❤. It’s my very favorite 💕🙏🙏
Awe thank you!! Glad you liked the music 🎵
AMAZING!! Just a thought, I bet a carpenter could make a leaf to expand that table in the future. What a great space.
I just love this. As a retired veteran elementary school teacher, I’d love to teach in this room! One idea that I used for many years was to put fabric on the bulletin board. In my case, all boards were primary colors of gingham. Makes for a nice reusable background😀. Love that green and white alphabet strip with traditional cursive too.
I retired in 2012 and always missed my old chalkboards.
Thank you for this!! Our bulletin board got holes in it on day one, I will try this!! How did you secure it down?
I stapled on the edges, pulling taut on the fabric.😄
So creative in the decor for your school room. Love that you’re home schooling your children!
Heck, I’d like to go to school there.
Prayers for success in your endeavor🙏🏼
Ha ha!! I’d love to have a bigger classroom 🫶
What a beautiful place to teach your children in. You certainly put a great deal of time and energy into making it perfect. I applaud you and your husband for homeschooling and thus protecting them from the confusion and indoctrination of the public school system.
Oh! Are you from Michigan!? I'm from Traverse City but live out west now. I miss northern Michigan so much. May the Lord continue to bless you and your family!! Your home is beautiful!!! The original owners would be so pleased to see you taking care of it!!
Yes! I also used to live in Traverse City for over 15 years, loved it there.
The Joy in your face , and the faces of your Littles when it was time for school.. 🥹..what a blessing!
Good job!! Love the green!! What a great school experience they will have!! When I home-schooled my kids I learned as well!!God bless your schoolroom and you all!
I’m growing and learning more than they are I think 🥰
Love this room. I really like the style & shape of this attic space. It's nice it still has original features and woodwork. The built in mantel with the drawer, what an awesome feature. Nicely done, it looks amazing!
Thanks so very much!
What a big undertaking, but well worth the effort!! It is beautiful!!❤😊
Thank you so much!
@@oldmaplehome , seeing the joy on your children’s faces brought tears to my eyes!! So very precious!❤️
Definitely unique and different but I really like it
Unique and different sounds good to me :p
I agree, I never liked a steamer either for wallpaper. That room is going to be gorgeous.
Wow..just absolutely wow. I am so impressed. Fantastic job..absolutely beautiful 😊
Awe thank you!!
Omg amazing! 😮 I love it! I totally get the back in the days vibe/decor. I have an old school table, red pencils, and a fire alarm from an old school. One thing I didn’t see, is a pencil ✏️ sharpener 😂
Oh my goodness, the room looks amazing! The floor is beautiful. But the best part was the kids seeing it for the first time. You guys did an amazing job. Beautiful home.
Yes! This is so beautiful. What a joyous school room. Great job
Awww Elizabeth!! What a Special Room you have made for your Kids!! What a Family Affair to invest in your Kids!!! 💕💕💕💕💕. The look of the Kids faces on the 1st Day of School!!! Precious!!! 🤗📚📝. I LOVE that Vintage Banner you hung by the Window! Wherever did you find it??? It's ADORABLE!!! 💕💕💕💕
Thank you so much Trudy! It sure was a labor of love! They were so excited for their first day of school, it was a bit emotional for their mama 🥰 I have that banner linked in the video description.
Such a wonderful space, you are truly a talented and inspiring young lady. What a great school room for your children.
Oh thank you 😊
Y’all put in some hard work and it is absolutely beautiful and sweet
