Getting those little jumping beans to sit still is like trying to catch sunshine in a jar. They’re up, they’re down, they’re up again.

You might have more success if you give them a Peggy Quish chair.

The new collection, from two local moms, is based on English antiques, but the designs have been revamped and updated for kid-size tushies. All have solid wood frames with hand tied cushions and decorative detailing like contrast trim and tufting. Choose from cheerful color combos like pink and orange, yellow and ivory, and blue on blue.

They’ll be introducing headboards, lamps, and shades soon.

Which definitely calls for a standing ovation.

Available at Twixt, 3319a Cady’s Alley NW, off M and 33rd Streets (202-494-9708 or shoptwixt.com); online at peggyquish.com.
