Hi friends! I know a lot of y’all are still in school, but my first official day of summer 2015 was this past Friday and here it is, the first week of summer and I’m already thinking about my classroom decor for next year! I’ve never really had a classroom theme. I’ve just always done bright colors, and while I still love having pretty, bright colors in my classroom, I’ve decided it’s time for a change! This next year, I’m going to incorporate a lot of Black and White into my classroom and move away from my signature brights. This past year, I’ve started loving how black bulletin board paper looks and I think having a entire Black and White theme classroom will be a welcome change. So when I determined that this is the direction I wanted to go in for my 2015 classroom, I immediately headed to Creative Teaching Press to browse their fabulous selection of classroom decor.
I LOVE their BW collection! From the borders to the letters, everything is perfection! While I love to make a lot of my own pieces, I always start out with the basics (like borders and accent pieces) and add in my own personal touches.

I’m loving these borders:
These nameplates will go perfectly with the BW theme.
Okay, I know this next item isn’t technically a decor piece, but how cute is this pen?? It’s always good to match your classroom when you grade papers, right? 😉
I was tickled pink (or tickled black and white!) when I discovered these notecards. I always send a notecard to my kids over the summer and I love that the cards will give them a preview of our classroom.
There are several different letter styles to choose from in the BW collection, but my favorites are the Dot to Dot styles, upper and lower case.
I’ve just highlighted my favorites from the collection, but be sure to check out the entire BW collection for even more fabulousness!
I’m also excited to pair some of the decor pieces from CTP’s Painted Palette Collection like these months of the year:
And these pennants:
And these chart cards:
