It's a chair! It's a dollhouse! It's genius!

It's a chair! It's a dollhouse! It's genius!

Welcome to our home full of teeny kids' chairs that are good for one thing. Or two if you count tripping over them. But these cool handmade chairs from CMP-fave Paloma's Nest are good for three, or more. Just when I thought we were done with kids' furniture, I spy the amazing Children's Chair from Paloma's Nest that actually doubles as a doll house. Or "colonial house" to be specific. Unless you prefer the Victorian House chair. So genius, right?

They can sit and then play underneath, or play while someone else is sitting, or... you get the idea. It's definitely an investment piece, but one that will last through lots of kids and their penchant for destroying cheap furniture. Or hey, there's always grandma. -Kristen You can purchase the Children's Chair at Paloma's Nest on Etsy.
