Love it! I don't have kids yet, but for some reason I feel like the "back to school" buzz is hitting everyone more than ever before where we get lost reminiscing about school days of the past. Maybe because everything is so technological now-a-day, it can be fun to look back in awe.
I found these vintage school chairs on etsy and reminded me of old school-house too. Just thought I'd share in rejoice of this source-list.
Hey! I saw those maps on etsy, but schoolhouse chic doesn't have to be expensive!
Look at MY set of 5 vintage 1930s schoolhouse maps on eBay for only $78 (where it stands at the moment). And if you're in Boston, you can come pick them up with no shipping cost. Way better than $3300.

Oops! Sorry - this is the link that lets you see the old schoolhouse maps:

I love this style. I'm been looking for a metal locker to use for a pantry.
Can someone tell me how to hang the old school maps (that come on a roller)? Been trying for so long to figure this out! Thanks!
I would also be interested in how to hang the maps!
www.empiricalstyle.com sells heaps of old school maps and charts that look amazing!
Awesome affordable reproduction charts can be found here:
