Nightlight out, k?telight in

I can't believe how far the world of nursery and kids' room decor has come even since I was first  waddling through the baby mega-store, wondering if there were really that many people interested in decorating their nurseries with Winnie the Pooh. There was certainly nothing like k?elight from Brooklyn's Acme World Zoo, which wowed me at a trade show earlier this spring.

Think of the k?telight as an illuminated wall sculpture; the compact fluorescent bulb behind the powder-coated metal box lights up the cute bunny or kitty or Scottie dog on the front, and the effect is both subtle and striking. The all white on white is great for a baby's room, but if you're not afraid of bold color, get your hands on that awesome orange one.

And speaking of hands, the metal stays cool so your kids can't burn theirs. It's just smart all around. -Liz
