Coolest but Most Expensive Toy Box Ever

SunnyChanel — Fri, 01 May 2009 20:00:00 GMT

This ain’t just a toy box, it’s more like a playhouse than just a simple storage container. The Agnès&Agnès Design Toy Box is a six-sided plum hued unit that features drawers, cubes, little hiding places and can even function as an art desk.

The lucky child, whose parents can afford the piece, will have a slew of interesting options of how to use this fun and functional piece of furniture. But be warned, simplicity, style and design like this doesn’t come cheap. This piece goes for pert near $2600. On second thought, a plain old box will be just fine. You can check out more photos and perhaps purchase here.

For All Those Toy Tresaures

Toys are priceless treasures, well to your little one they are. Items of such grandeur and sentimental value need an equally entertaining house to live in. Enter the Pirate Treasure Chest available from Posh Tots. This delightfully detailed toy storage compartment will not only hold their precious cargo but has a supportive safety lip and special cut out sections to prevent the dreaded finger pinching. You can pick one up for your little pirate here for $190.

The Noah Owl Box From Mod Mom Furniture

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!
