A new life for my dollhouse

After the basement was finished, this corner became the perfect area for my homework station. To begin, I gave the old dining table a coat of black paint and stacked the dollhouse on top of it. Together these two pieces function like a desk with a hutch.

If you don’t have a dollhouse, you could use any bookcase or small shelving unit instead. Small- to medium-size bookcases can be purchased inexpensively at thrift shops and craft supply stores.
