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.

August 19, 2011 at 8:38 pmWhat 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!
Making it Lovely
October 21, 2011 at 3:08 pmThe step stool is from Land of Nod too.
Barn Board
February 13, 2013 at 4:58 amThe 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.

November 8, 2011 at 3:56 pmI 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
November 8, 2011 at 4:12 pmThe walls are Benjamin Moore’s Wild Aster. And that zig zag rug would be perfect in a nursery!

April 4, 2012 at 7:15 pmI 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?

March 21, 2016 at 11:08 pmDo 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!
