One problem I've found with night lights: plugging them into a wall socket near the floor often obscures the light significantly. And many of our wall sockets end up behind furniture. While I haven't developed a solution, this sweet cloud night light idea would do the trick!
Sheharzad Arshad made this cloud installation for his daughter's room. He provides the basic details of his project, and while it isn't a full tutorial, you could relatively easily reproduce it yourself. You could use any motif that fits your child's room, as well: planets, butterflies, flowers, or animals. And since you can locate the light anywhere on the wall, you won't run into the problem of low or obscured outlets.

This is so cute! Maybe I'll try to make this for my hallway!
Night lights are not good for babies, from what I understand. Apparently for their eyes and brains to develop, it's better for them to have complete darkness to sleep in.
This is cute, but aren't nightlights *supposed* to be near the floor? You don't want light in your eyes while you're trying to sleep, you want to be able to see where you're walking if you need to get up at night.
want. that is just plain awesome.
It looks great!!
eh, we have nightlights in our bunk beds that are so low you can barely tell - it's just enough to make sure you don't wack your face into the ladder or to orient yourself so you don't fall out of bed.
Oh so cute! More for kids who refuse to sleep in the dark than a nightlight. Most wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully with that much light on.
Umm...am I the only one that is worried about how that cord is secured being right next to the crib? Once that baby can move that cord is going to become might appealing to them.
