It’s no secret that your kid has a creative temperament. Hence that lipstick-scribbled couch and Crayola-covered table in your house.

Prefer to leave the decorating to the pros? The newly opened Once upon a Gallery offers unique hand-painted furnishings for kids. Chairs and tables come adorned with whimsical illustrations, and each can be personalized at no extra charge for instant heirloom status.

The gallery also offers art lessons for petite Picassos.

The writing’s on the wall. May as well make it a masterpiece.
