Final touches
For seating I grabbed two extra dining chairs that had been used only during the holidays. Now they provide comfortable seating at our new homework station.
The black and white chairs work perfectly with the white dollhouse and the new black finish on the table. Using a black and white color scheme unifies the mixed and matched set. It also allows us to introduce different accent colors as we desire. For now I’m using bright, bold turquoise. I love the way it plays off the redbrick walls.
The striped lumbar pillows are our summer outdoor cushions that are brought inside at the end of the season. Instead of storing them away for the winter, we will be using them to keep the kids sitting tall during their study sessions.
To style the dollhouse hutch, I created playful art by placing an Albert Einstein photo and inspirational quote inside old frames that I updated with a fresh coat of the same black paint I used on the table.
