Back to School Decorating Ideas


I know many of you will think I am rushing things but I wanted to do a back to school vignette in my dry sink and a little something on the dining room table. I started to pull some things out and I just kept going until it was done. Here is just a peek.



School for my kids starts the last week of August so they still have three sweet weeks left. Some of our friends started this week. I miss the days when everyone started right after Labor Day.


Not sure my kids were too excited to see the reminders but my hubby and I had fun putting it together.
This little plaque of the Pledge of Allegiance is a favorite. I have heard that not all schools bother to ever say it any longer. When I was in school we said it everyday first thing. I personally think that was a good thing. 

I will reveal the whole thing in a few days when I am done tweaking it.

  1. Can't wait to see the whole thing, looks awesome. Fun times changing things around for the different "seasons"of life. Good luck with another school year. This is our first year "not" having a child go back to school- well regular k-12 grade-( our youngest starts college but he is on his own -lol)It kind of feels weird, the end of an era. Happy decorating ~Sara

  7. Very cute, and around here it would NOT be jumping the gun. School starts next week.

    I don't have school aged kids anymore. Those were the best days of my life.

  8. I bet your kids aren't too thrilled to see the reminder but it looks good. I really like the chalkboard. :o)

    Summer is passing quickly now that it's August (I love Fall it's my favourite season). Some schools start in August here in my part of Ontario but most start after Labour Day.

  9. Very cute back to school reminder. I remember those days - my daughter couldn't wait to go and buy school supplies and my son just said, you do it for me mom! ;)
    Be a sweetie,

  10. Love your decor ... our district still goes back to school the day after Labor Day. But we're homeschoolers ... hopefully the materials I just ordered (wow, late this year!) arrive soon. Thanks for sharing.

    Hugs,
