The Noah Owl Box From Mod Mom Furniture

Chris Ford — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 16:16:00 GMT

As I've said here on Droolicious before (here and here), I'm a huge fan of Mod Mom Furniture, and it seems she's got a new toy box to show off. The Noah Owl Box has an owl lid with owl eyes for finger holes, is hand made of eco-friendly birch plywood and is, as Mod Mom puts it herself, "woodland mod."

The Noah Owl Box is 17"x18"x15.5" and sits on locking casters. It might be too small for an entire toy storage solution, but if you're looking to add toy storage (who isn't?) or you're looking for a first toy box for that brand new baby, the Noah Owl Box might be just the thing.

The Noah Owl Box, $299.00 from Etsy.com. Also check out the full web site at ModMomFurniture.com.

7 Days of Eco-Friendly Décor: Mod Mom Toy Boxes

Chris Ford — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 10:08:00 GMT

I've extolled the craftsmanship and design of the toy boxes from Mod Mom Furniture before, but now my favorite furniture garagiste has an eco-friendly twist to her products - formaldehyde-free plywood.

The new plywood is from a product line called "Columbia Forest Products' Purebond plywood" and it's made from a new soy-based adhesive. Actually, according to her blog post she's only recently been experimenting with the new plywood, but there will be some new eco-friendly product announcements soon.

In the meantime, check out her products at Modmomfurniture.com, and buy her newest toybox "Bertie" (pictured) for $475 from Design Public.

Owyn Toy Box from Mod Mom Furniture

We've told you before about the Mid-Century Toy Box from Mod Mom furniture, but my personal favorite is the Owyn Toy Box. The two green leaves on top of the box are the lids to the compartments underneath. They will only fit on one way like a puzzle, making putting toys away kind of a fun activity in of itself.

The box is handmade of Baltic Birch Plywood, and for $275 I think it's a steal. It will take some time to get (four to eight weeks) but for great craftsmanship at that price it's worth the wait.

Hand Made: Toy Box Keeps Toy Stored Beautifully

Function and style meet with this toy box. Dual-opening lids to reveal a mod toy box with two convenient compartments. For anyone who has ever searched through a huge toy box looking for a small toy that has fallen to the bottom, you will agree this is an ingenious design.

Non-toxic, non-yellowing water-based poly over stain for protection and sheen.

I love that this is made by a mom in her workshop!

Lego Table Gets Wheels and Modern Flair

Remember those rickety plastic cubes for building Lego on -- eyesores that were relegated to the corner of the room, usually with a pile of Legos dumped nearby? No more, baby. Check out Modmom Furniture's sleek upgrade to the Lego Table. Wheel it wherever you want it, fill the two recessed wells with pieces for easy access, and store extras and completed creations in the spaces underneath. When you're done, wheel it away again.

Of course, at $275, you may wish to leave it out for show. I'm just sayin'.
