Happy Homework Spots

It's that time of year again. School started in my county yesterday and the kids who go to the three (yes three) colleges in my town have all just arrived, en masse, to take over the roads and bars. And all of that means...it's homework time.
When I was in high school, I ditched my desk and did all of my homework on my bed - and I think that might have caused me some long-term back pain. These days, I think that I might have stuck with something a little more lower back-friendly...if I'd only had a really great desk.
Here are some examples of desks that just might save the kids from popping Advil years down the road:

I like the idea of covering the desk with fun contact paper, or a map. The cover could be changed as the desk's owner grows up, too.

| I love this subtly patterned desk, too (and that pillow - speaking of back pain). |

I probably wouldn't get a lot of work done sitting side by side with a friend, but that doesn't stop me from loving how this looks.

I think my big problem in high school was that my desk just wasn't big enough. I think it's smart to use a bigger table (or two) in place of a traditional desk - it provides much more room to spread out.

A few cute accessories can make homework time much more appealing.

| I'm a big fan of bulletin boards all over, but I think they're especially logical around a desk. They're a perfect spot for calendars and schedules and little reminders. |

This spot takes the bulletin board feel a step further. As a teenager, I would've found this totally inspiring. A little distracting, maybe, but mostly inspiring.

I like the idea of a chalkboard over the desk, too. It's a perfect spot for Mom-like messages...

My desks were always tucked away in my bedroom, but placing kids' desks in a central spot in the house isn't a bad idea, either.

| When all else fails, go bright with the surroundings. That'll keep the kids awake! |

Maureen Stevens I wouldn't mind working all day in any of these nooks although the red & white is my favorite, the white floors got me!
