Sleep tight with your own personalised night light by MyLight – for the kids of course!

MyLight is a family owned business based in Adelaide, South Australia. I’ve seen them around online and at expo’s and they’re always a popular exhibit to visit You can tell why – the design of the MyLight is unique to other children’s night lights that I’ve seen.

It provides a small amount of light – just enough for that late night/early morning nappy changes. And when the child grows older, the style of the MyLight carries through (no fluffy ducks or pink bows to embarass them!).

The MyLight also uses LED lights which have a working life of 50 000 hours, which not only makes it great value, but makes Mylight friendly to the environment as well.

You can check out more custom MyLights by visiting their photo gallery. When you’re ready, design your light and enjoy!

Koush Design is a small interior, furniture and product design firm based in Adelaide who have stylish & functional products for your home. They have some cool pieces to brighten up your kid’s rooms – including Ledge and Kaos!

Ledge is perfect for any wall in your house – whether it’s the nursery, kids room, mum’s hideout or the kitchen. It’s a strong shelf that can be custom coloured to any colour in the Dulux powder coat range (at an additional cost) but comes in a funky orange, white or bronze. Ledge will hold up any toy, laptop or stack of books – and you can accessorise it with hooks and a cedar top for a more unique look.

Kaos are cute little ottomans that could also double as a stool for the little ones (or a foot stool for mum’s aching feet). With 3 fabric choices to choose from, Eco wool felt, wool and polyester, Kaos is adorned with handman buttons (so cute) which means no two Kaos’ are ever the same.

Koush Design have made beautiful furniture for Australian homes and I’m so glad to have had a peek at their range. Apart from the Ledge and Kaos, they also have jewellery, tables and seating within their catalogue. What a talented bunch!

For more information about Koush Design’s products, please visit their website at www.koushdesign.com or give them a call on 08 8212 0514.
