Eleanor’s room is done! She’s a fan.
The pink walls, lighting fixture, and curtains that I made are still in the room from when it used to be my studio. There is a detailed list of sources on a separate page, so do take a look if you’d like to know where something specific came from.
Here’s the vintage dresser from her nursery that we painted pink. I hung a mirror (it’s named the Eleanor Mirror!) above to reflect light from the window on the opposite wall, and the basket on the floor is for Eleanor’s laundry.
To the left of the dresser is a rocking chair and her closet. To the left of that are her bookshelves.
She loves grabbing toys from them.
There are three framed prints above the bookshelves. I made the Que Sera, Sera print in the middle (download it for free here!), and the other two are by The Black Apple and Lulu Dee. The frames are from Target.
I also made the recycled paper banner that hangs above her closet.
There are more toys on the other side of the room, behind the door. The smaller things are in toy boxes, and the larger toys are tucked away in a little alcove.
And then there are the books.
The girl loves to read.

Can you remind me about the curtains/fabric in this room? I love the flora so much!
Making it Lovely
Isn’t it a fun print? It was called “Mom’s Couch” by Moda. Long out of print, unfortunately.

Hey! I love love love this room and love this wild aster pink! Do you think that this paint color would go with this comforter? I’m concerned about the pink tones clashing.. what are your thoughts? http://intl.target.com/p/simply-shabby-chic-sunbleached-floral-comforter-set/-/A-16619803
Making it Lovely
Yes, it would look great!

Do you remember where you got the rectangular wooden play table and what it was called? I Love it! It looks like Land of Nod but I don’t think that carry that same one anymore. Was hoping to get lucky searching for it second hand somewhere if I knew the name. It’s just what I have been looking for. Thanks!
Making it Lovely
It was from Land of Nod, yes. The Mojo table. Looks like they still carry the chairs, but not the table anymore.
Alexa
Hi love the room. Remodeling my daughters bedroom for her 3yr birthday. I really love the light fixture. Where did you get it?
Jennifer
We just bought our little girl the raspberry Jenny lind bed from nod – where did you find the foot stool for your daughters bed? We need one since the bed is pretty tall and our daughter is pretty short!
Kasia
so cute! planning a shared space and definitely using your photo as one of my inspirations :-)
Genevieve
This is lovely! My daughter’s name is Eleanor :) And we are moving into a new house. Hmmmm…..may have to borrow some of this for her room! :) Thank you!
Nicole B
Pinkalicious!!! Love it!
Maria
Hi! I love the paint color you used! We’re getting ready to paint our nursery, and I need help! I’d like to stencil a feature wall using wild aster as the base and then the Martha Stewart pink pearl paint for the stencil. What do you think?
Leila
That dresser is really sweet!
Christie Cambio
I absolutely love Elenor’s new room! So adorable. I have a question about the Wild Aster paint color. When you enter the room is it obvious that it’s pink? It’s obviously not an overwhelming pink, but I guess what I’m asking is it enough pink to know that it’s not a shade of white?
Emilee Arnold
Hi my name if Emilee, I absolutely love your little girls room. Loves it so much I just bought my little girl a Jenny Lind twin bed and was wondering where you got the side rail? I have looked everywhere (on line) and can not find a wooden one. Thanks so much for your time
Emilee
Larae
Also, where you find your wood bookshelves? Love em!
Larae
Did the slats come with the bed or did you order themmseparately? I’m wondering if they can fit a full bed i have. also, is that the Serena and lily side table withe the books on it? Thanks!!!
Kat - Four Little Walls
What a gorgeous bedroom!! Lucky little lady! x
Patricia
this blows my mind! gorgeous!
Merisa
Absolutely beautiful! I’m actually getting that same bed for my two girls. Or it might be the same. Either way you have a wonderful sense of design.
Carla Sumka
Where did you get that cute picture of those retro cats above her bed? Super cute.
kacy
Nevermind found the color! Cant wait to paint mine!
kacy
Can you also tell me what color the dresser is? Love it! Did you prime first as I have a vintage dresser I want just this color if possible.
Carla
I love Eleanor’s room! I was wondering what color the walls are. I’m looking for a color to go with the dash an Albert zig zag rug (I think you have this in your new office??) but I don’t know if it will be too much. Any thoughts? Thanks!
Making it Lovely
The walls are Benjamin Moore’s Wild Aster. And that zig zag rug would be perfect in a nursery!
Kim
What a cute room! I was wondering if you could tell me where you got the step stool? I looks like it might be the old PBK one, but not sure.
Thanks!
Barn Board
The stool is great! My family has one that we purchased for our two boys. It sits in our kitchen and is used EVERY DAY. Land of Nod no longer carries the stool. Because of its look and rigid construction I decided to make a few that were similar. I am in the processes of adding another five to our home. They look great everywhere, even the shop.
Making it Lovely
The step stool is from Land of Nod too.
CV Love
I loved the picture, that cuteness! I’ll put one in my room!
Mary
Wow! What a gorgeous room! I love the dresser and the prints and the mirror and the… Everything is gorgeous!
D R E W
WOW!! love those bookshelves! sooo great!
Dee
Such a cute room! I love her dresser and Jenny Lind bed!Thanks for the poster, I’m going to print it and hang it above Lark’s (my younger daughter) crib.
Making it Lovely
I’m so glad! I love that people are printing and framing the print.
pamela
This room is very sweet. Curious on the where from on the bean bag soft cover and her stool next to her bed to help enter. Also, still curious on the items from your son’s post too. You did a wonderful job, she must love playing in her room!
logan
Great room! I was wondering where you got the alphabet train letters? I’d love to get some for my son.
Thanks!
sarah
where did you get your light fixture? this room is beautiful! I love everything about it!!
Sarah Jane
LOVE IT! Those bookcases are sensational! And I love “The End” Almost bought it myself. Now I just might have to!
Kirstin
Beautiful job, Nicole! She’s one lucky girl.
What are the pretty sparkly animals on the dresser?
Sheesham Furniture
Stunning room. That’s one lucky little girl. The “the end” bookend is perhaps the cutest thing I ever saw.
Emily
Eleanor is one lucky girl! What a beautiful room.
Patti
You’ve really done a great job creating a room that will grow along with your daughter. I wish we’d had the foresight to invest in high-quality furniture that will grow with our daughter, now 7. Besides her antique iron bed and a solid wood desk, our daughter’s furniture is pretty disposable. Your furniture and fixtures are all timeless and will appeal to your daughter for many years.
Jillian
Ohhh please please tell me where you got the bed guard rail… been searching everywhere for one of those!
Christel
First time I post, but it worth a lot. It’s the prettiest bedroom I saw for a little girl. Congratulations!
Rebecca @ beautiful square feet
Love it Nicole! Eleanor really looks chuffed with it too – that first photo is brilliant! Smart storage is definitely the way forward! Well done for achieving such a great room!
Franziska
everything looks so nice, clean and organized. If you like to, tell us how you manage to KEEP it this way. I didn’t succeed :)
Kat Palmer
Hi Eleonor! We are also a fan of your room :) Everything on it is perfect! The mirror with cute ribbon, the mat, the light fixture, the pink cabinet… all beautiful!
Mariana
I love her room. She is a lucky girl for sure. And the “que sera, sera” poster, I got so glad by seeing my native language (portuguese) over there. There’s a song like that. It made me happy.
C.B.
I can’t find where it says where that beautiful fabric pony is from, could you share? It’s darling! Thanks.
Rose
that is a lovely room…perfect in every way…Eleanor should be proud of her room….
Amanda Brooke
Love this room!! SOoo inspiring. Ps- we have the same birthday
Lisa
Where did you find the hot pink baskets? I’d love them for our nursery!
Beck's Chic Life
Her bedroom looks awesome! And I love that shade of pink on the walls. Eleanor really does look like she loves it!
katiedid
O WOW! Time flies! SHe is such a big girl now! With a room that is perfect for her cuteness. Bravo!
Dan
I love this room and I love the fact that it is simple, understated. I think rooms like these are calming and tranquil. Thank you for sharing
Amanda
I love everything you did for her room. Wish mine looked like this when I was growing up. (Heck I would love my room to look like that now!) You knocked it out of the world, with every little detail. I also love that Polaroid toy. I used to have one!
Ellen
Gorgeous!
Though, I do wonder if it’s hard to get into the closet with the rocking chair right in front of it?
Eleanor looks like she loves it!
laurajane
This is such a beautiful room. What a lucky girl Eleanor is! :)
Midwest Magnolia - Melissa Lewis
So cute, what a lucky little girl!
la petite princesse
if i will grow up and get a child,
his or her room should look like that <3

Mary
Aw! Love it!!! Beyond lovely in form & function.
bethany
Adorable! And so neat – love everything in its place. And her little faces get me every time. :)
michelle
her smile in the 1st photo is waaay to cute!!!
Rachael Olson
I love it!!! It looks so cute but also completely functional!
Laura@JourneyChic
What a beautiful, special room! I love all of your personal touches. Eleanor is clearly a fan of her new room. I love that it’s such a reflection of what you project through your shop and blog – smart but lovely. It’s a girly pink room, but it’s not froufy or princessy in a stereotypical girlish way. Well done!
ellie
love the room!!! where did you get the train set?
Grace Y.
Nicole I love your style!! and your daughter is cute as a button. I wish I could play with her. she looks mischievous with that little smirk. LOVE!!!
luuvely
totally worth the wait…she looks adorable on her big girl bed! i know she is super happy…does she sleep there without you guys having to intervene??
the pink is perfect and NOT over the top..shelves are soooo wonderful! my son loves to read so he has lots of shelving and space for books…
ill tell you this…when you/she begins to ADD more stuff to the room…remember to get rid of things lol..my son knows…when we buy new things…”we give the other away to a child who can use it..” (this keeps his room tidy!)
great job nicole! this room is just wonderful!
RLG
So lovely! I appreciate you sharing these with us.
Next month I’ll be using Wild Aster for one of my daughters’ rooms and would love to share it with you. Thank you for the inspiration. xoxo
Sarah
I love her new room!
Sarah
You’ve done an astonishing job. Its perfect. Every little detail is perfect!
christy
perfect! is it pathetic how much I’ve been waiting to see this? My little girl’s the same age and i’m trying to gather all my ideas w/o overdoing her room
kpriss
Wow! It really looks great! The very soft pink is hardly noticeable and the room is so well balanced, nothing too girlish or overload-ish cute, you did a great job!
Debra
What a sweet room! I love the print too.
Nicole
I just have to say… Eleanor is the cutest!! That picture of her reading on her Big Girl Bed just melted me. And luckily, she has a room that can keep up with her cuteness. :)
Heidi S.
It looks so beautiful! I think it is a nice combination of being kid friendly without being overly cutesy. She should grown into this room for years to come. My 2 year old daughter is still set up with her crib & baby stuff. This makes me want to redo her room right now!
Dayna
I absolutely LOVE this room. It’s perfect.
Wendy
wow! everything looks lovely – she’s one lucky girl!
Alison
So cute! I noticed awhile back that you’re planning to put a play room into your basement. Once you have that up and running, will some of Eleanor’s toys move down there? Or will the playroom hold different types of toys and activities? I have a baby daughter and have been thinking about future toy organization. I have the space for a dedicated playroom, but am trying to figure out if we need one.
kate
My jaw just dropped – The Poky Little Puppy was my absolute favourite book when I was a child! I hope Eleanor enjoys it.
Senamile Mhlongo
Wow i love this room its just perfect and it will grow with her as she gets older. Thank you for your amazing blog. Im moving into my own one bedroom and am decoarting im gettng so many ideas from you adn I downloaded the free print. Thank you so much and God bless you and your family :-)
Shermi
Is it bad that I am jealous of her room… I have an older sister who is 1.5 years older than me and we always shared but we never had a beautiful room like this. I absolutely love the bookcases, I love the way all the furniture is not matchy matchy but coordinate so well. Im inspired…my son is a new teenager (just turned 13) and I am trying to come up with a plan for his room. I asked him what he wanted the space to look like or a wish list and all he came up with was a game chair or recliner. Really…so uninspiring lol.
Lilis
WOW !! lovely and timeless, I wish it’s my room :)
you make me want to start decorate my son’s although we still happily keep him sleeping in our room.
just let you know I love your blog & daily check itu makes me happy :) hugs from Jakarta.
dawn simon
So cute!
I just did Black Apple prints in m daughters room too!

Melissa @ earth grown crayons
Love, love, love it!
Have to ask – is the vintage Fisher Price Little People Sesame Street toy from a family’s toy box, or did you purchase it? So fun!
You really did an amazing job!
Ali
Wow, this is such an amazing little girl bedroom! I love it all! I imagine she has sweet dreams in her sweet room! Once again I got to say I love the books she has in her room! My daughter loves Olivia and Madeline too!

camille
Please don’t be angry when I copy this room for my girls! :)
LindaS
Adopt me so I can live there? Adorable! I love that there is style without it being overstyled. Nothing worse than seeing ultra styled rooms for kids that dont look like the little one would enjoy being in it. This room looks like fun will be had!
Amanda
I’m in love with that CB2 bookend. Such a shame they aren’t in Australia and their shipping prices are absolutely insane. :( You guys have so much choice and variety over there! I’m very jealous.
Absolutely gorgeous room as always! I can’t wait to see the finished nursery now. That first photo is gorgeous, Eleanor gets prettier by the day. Very, very cute!
Audrie
Much too darling!!! Love everything about Eleanor’s room :) And I’ve got the same Black Apple print in my studio!
Circa1972vs1906
Where did that adorable stuffed horse come from? BTW, I want to thank you for keeping a tiny bit of dust in your picture. Makes me feel a tiny bit better about my house! ha ha.
RebeccaNYC
BIG GIRL ROOM!! so beautiful.
Danielle
So sweet and adorable! I can see why she loves it! And I absolutely love the pic of Eleanor holding up the viewfinder. Reminds me of my prized viewfinder ‘pics’ – an episode of Happy Days and one from Scooby Do!
Mandy Ford
Such a perfect space – love how you’ve mixed the light pink with bolder colors. And I’m amazed at what great shape her books are in. Ours are very “well loved”. Guess that is the difference between boys and girls? :)
Mandy @ This Girl’s Life
Carla
Very pretty in pink! I love that you painted the ceiling, it makes such a difference in the feel of a room. The Eleanor mirror is a great touch!
shortsweetseason
Those painted toenails! Be still my heart.
Andreina
Hi from Venezuela Nicole! Because you seem to really like that “que sera, sera” poster i just want you to know that the correct frase (in correct spanish hehe) would be “lo que será, será” but, despite that, it’s really cute! By the way, congrats on your beautiful family! :0) i’ve followed your blog for about 3 years now and it has been really cool to see it grow from a 2 to a 4 members one!
Colleen Kemp
So cute!!! Eleanor seems like she has so much personality…it’s fun to see in the photos! :)
Do you mind sharing where you found that yeloow “The End” bookend?
Mariela
Beautiful room!, you did a very good job : ) .
Kathy
It looks so good.
Of all the home blog designers I frequent you are my favorite.
You never disappoint, and always add that extra something that makes the room so fun.
I am glad Eleanor loves her new room.
Great job again!
Heather
What an adorable room! I love those bookcases, in particular. Good job, Land of Nod! ;)
kelsey
It looks like she loves it! I know I do!!!
Rachel from Birch + Bird
Fantastic! I love everything about it!
Nuit
wow. THIS is my Favorite room in your house now! I absolutely love how it turned out! it has great personality, beautiful vintage quality to it and the toys are all to DIE. LOVE IT.
Licia
what a pretty room! it has great little-girl touches, but it can mature as she does. thank you for sharing :-)
M
What no closet shots! Please post how you organized her closet! About to do my little girl’s & would love some much needed help & inspiration! Super job, btw!!!! Looks like she really loves it : )
Thanks!
Making it Lovely
We still have shelves and craft supplies in the closet! I’ll be working on getting those down to the studio soon, so I can write about Eleanor’s closet after that.
Crystal
Such a “neat” and cute little girl’s room!

wow – so so fun, eleanor must be so happy!
