We finally wrapped up Eleanor's room. Since starting her room our living room got a bit of a makeover, we renovated our bathroom, worked on an nursery and welcomed a brand new baby boy. Needless to say, I have left you all hanging.

Kid Rooms
And Then There Was Bedding
We are finally to bedding. I had a heck of a time finding bedding for Eleanor's room. Once I decided on the inspiration, drapes from World Market, I needed some pretty plain jane bedding.

I tried my best to answer them, but at the end of the day I thought it would be best to put all those answers in one post. Let us start with a source list: 1. Gutter bookshelves and end caps ...
