After leading you on for months I finally have my act together. Here is the final reveal of Eleanor's big girl room. We had so much fun making this special room for Eleanor. It was tough saying goodbye to her nursery. With baby #3 on the way, it was time. I was so nervous about her being upstairs and being in a big girl bed. It turns out all my worrying was for nothing.

Hanging Gutter Bookshelves & the Low-Down On the Reading Nook
Last week I revealed Eleanor's big girl room reading nook. The first completed project of her new room. Since posting it, I have received lots and lots of questions about her space.
