Beach Locker - The Perfect Mud Room Accessory For Kids

You know that little room between the garage and the rest of the house in a lot of houses? My wife's family always called it the mud room, and I always thought it was an apt description. This little "locker" seems like the perfect thing for a young child to use to keep their coats, jackets, boots and shoes neatly put away in the mud room. And seeing how the seasons are changing now, it might be the perfect time to check it out.

The Beach Locker is made by the Eco Tots Collection, which is to say it's made from environmentally-friendly wood and a non-toxic finish. It's available in brown, red, natural and light green (pictured) and measures 55 inches high.

Pigeon Perch-able Night Light

In my house we're kind of a little pigeon crazy (thanks to Mo Willems), so maybe that's the reason I'm noticing all of this pigeon related kids stuff all of a sudden. To wit: the Pigeon Perch-able Light by Ed Carpenter.

Available in pink, orange, black or white, the pigeon night light has a wooden clothespin for feet for easy perching. And it's not like a normal night light that you plug into directly to the socket - it has a cord with a plug.

Oh, and it's "Designed by Ed Carpenter for Thorsten Van Elten." When you see something like that on a web site, it's a safe bet that it will cost you.
