Eleanor’s New Bedroom

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.

    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!

    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!

      The walls are Benjamin Moore’s Wild Aster. And that zig zag rug would be perfect in a nursery!

    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.

    Where did you get that cute picture of those retro cats above her bed? Super cute.

    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.

    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

    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?

    That dresser is really sweet!
