A Science Lab for a Nursery

September 8, 2007

edison2.jpgEngineers Paul and Pam Costa took three well-planned steps in welcoming their new baby boy into their lives.  First, they named their son Edison - an uncommon historically-linked creative name that was also easy to remember.  Second, to match the name Edison, they designed a nursery with a science theme complete with a bare vintage-style light bulb, chalk scribbled science formulas, and back-lit laboratory beakers.  For their finishing touch, Paul had found an original Cray-1 computer on eBay after years of searching, and turned into a seating area in one corner of the nursery.

We got them at IKEA. I tried to find them on their website, but was unable to this morning. If you go to your local store, look in the lighting section.
