A life-size dollhouse and a trompe l’oeil of
a plaid headboard treatment fashion a storybook setting

cypress wood-planked flooring introduces the dining

the feel she wanted to create for the setting. “We
liked the idea of a round table because the shape
itself is more inviting and casual,” she says.
