The Nico & Yeye table and chairs are absolutely beautiful. The animal shaped chairs are super fun for the kids yet the clean minimal look is so aesthetically pleasing to compliment the rest of your home decor. The design is so charming you will get an instant mood lift every time you walk past these cheery chairs. The little ears get me every time. This set is not something you want to tuck away, it’s something to create an entire space off of.

The craft kids table measures 42" x 27" and has plenty of seating for 4-6 kids or adults. I love that the space is perfect for the kids to really dive into projects.

I also absolutely love that the table legs can be adjusted to grow with your kids. Genius. You can choose a 20.5” height or a 24.5” height. We have the table at the 20.5” height with two of the chairs at the 12” height & two chairs at the 16” height. I like to sit on the floor at the table with my kids- with my bone disease, it just makes things easier for me! This works perfectly because the table is at a great height for all of us together.

Art saves lives. Well, seriously creating art can be so healing + of course fun! Right?! Never underestimate the power of creating art.

When I was a kid, I loved creating art. You name it art was my jam. If I wasn’t creating something I might’ve been making up dances with my friend, Lisa. Or, mud pies of course. I wanted to give my kids the same opportunities to create magic at home. And, I’ll tell you what - I did it. Not only is the Nico & Yeye craft table and chairs absolutely perfect for our art studio, I get to tap into my wonderful childhood memories + create that same magic with my kids.

I love that you can customize everything about the Nico & Yeye set. You can choose the type of sustainable wood down to the leg paint on both the table and chairs. Plus, you can totally mix them up! You even get to choose the most adorable chair backs. The only problem is they are all so cute, it’s almost too hard to decide.

If I were to create another space with the Nico & Yeye set, I would absolutely customize with some combination of mint & pink. I love that mint is a perfect gender neutral color & brings the cheer up to max level. This set would also be perfect in a kitchen or dining area if you could include this table for kids to eat at. They could easily set their own table. It would also be perfect to bake + cook at. The perfect height to mix and add ingredients for little helpers. The sky blue would be so beautiful in a kitchen.

The best time to start creating an art studio is now. Design your house so it is a space that you enjoy + love. Get inspired.
