Elementary School Furniture

My elementary school has a conference room with a mish-mash of items. The soundproofing on the walls is gray (on one wall). The carpet is red - yikes, but no changing that. The room is very dark and dingy with old furniture that does not go together. I'm trying to give it a makeover to make it a calming pleasant place to be - not a dark dungeon. My first thought - chair covers; maybe a table runner in a bright color; and some sort of window treatment with color. One wall is a white board (floor to ceiling), another is the gray soundproofing and the other two are a beige type color (maybe once upon a time white). There are 3 small windows - but being in Alaska it doesn't bring in much light during the winter.

Any ideas to make this dark dreary room into a beautiful comfortable space?

How about painting the walls all a soft butter-cream and putting a red and white checkerboard border around to tie in the carpet and soften the effect - then cover all the furniture in a canvas duck or denim so they are casual and easily cleaned. The white board wall should be cleaned and accessorized with magnets or clings to make it cheery then bring in some potted plants and a few side lamps (hit yard sales and ask for donations. I think if you approach the room with a casual "country" look it will be pleasurable for many years to come. Good Luck!

Ban Non Somboun (BNS) Elementary School is located 43 km East of Vientiane in BNS, Pak Ngeum District, Vientiane. It is a poor, but growing ...

I need specific details on what kind of plastic is used in everyday chairs. And which company or industry offers it. Example...the orange chairs used in elementary schools.

THANKS:)

Polypropylene!

NOT Polystyrene! Polystyrene is flamable! NOT good for schools! Highly regulated in industry and construction due to this problem.

I am a senior in high school and I will be majoring in elementary education next year. I was curious to what you have to buy for your classroom. For example do you have to buy your own dry erase boards, desk chair, and book shelves. I realize you have to buy certain things like decorations. But what types of furniture and major things do you have to buy for your classroom? I appreciate any anwers! (:

No you technically don't have to buy anything but some teachers buy............
♥Name tags for desks
♥Extra games
♥Cards if you want to have the change card system.

You won't have to buy much just the extras.

I just moved into a new apartment. I'm having furniture delivered from Ikea that is black/brown, all with squared edges and simple lines. (Malm, Mikael, & Expedit) Walls are currently (and will probably stay) white. I want my design to be simple Japanese/Asian meets colorful beach house. Bedding, wall decorations, and accessories are to be colorful (think the color wheel from elementary school). By keeping the the colors to bedding and accessories, I want to be able to alternate it with a more zen-like/earth tone style whenever the mood hits me.

Would this design work? What colors should I concentrate on or avoid? Is there other advice you might have to make this space amazing?

If you are going Japanese/Asian, then, walls should be offwhite, taupe, then blend in accessories to be black with gold accents, followed with red and golds for bedspread and black and brass in bathroom. With the light beige or taupe, you will be able to keep your theme and change your comfort cover with browns, blues and dark blues when you want. Beach (Nautical)and Asian will not work together. Adirondack chairs will not go with a Japanese theme. You may mix it with Bamboo accents possibly, but these 2 themes are separate.

I used to be a custodian at Steele Elementary, the school is haunted by a teacher named Laura Steele, whom the school is named after. I have seen her entering the 4th floor when i polishing the 3rd floor hallway, I have heard her knock on the window when i was leaving the school. The elevator would go on it's own and i would hear someone talking when I was there alone. I am not the only one who has had an encountered with her, teachers who stay late have heard furniture being moved in class rooms when nobody was there. A custodian working late heard so much commotion from the room above him, he called the police, when the police arrived to check out the noise they found nothing disturbed and no one up there.

I think you have an active imagination.
