Furnishing my daughters’ playroom and bedroom is an ongoing project.

A family can never have too many children’s chairs in the house. They’re needed inside, outside, in the bedroom, in the playroom, at the coffee table, at the drawing table – the list goes on and on. Friends come to play at our house and I’ve noticed how they round up all the small seating … [Read more.]
