And the weeks go by and I am still not finished with the Blue room (officially named daughter’s room with never ending stuff to do). A little bit here, a little banishing the pink there and on we go. Today’s project for the blue room is to banish the pink of this thing. I do not even know what to call it – storage stool?
Και οι εβδομάδες περνούν και δεν έχω ακόμα τελειώσει με το Μπλε δωμάτιο (επίσημα ονομάζεται το δωμάτιο της κόρης με ατελείωτα πράγματα να κάνουμε). Ένα μικρό κομμάτι εδώ, λίγο διώχνοντας το ροζ εκεί και πάμε. Το σημερινό έργο για το μπλε δωμάτιο είναι να διώξω το ροζ αυτού του πράγματος. Εγώ δεν ξέρω καν τι να το ονομάσω – σκαμνί αποθήκευσης;
My son had won this at a raffle giveaway and being the gentleman he is, he gave it to his sister. It was perfectly fine for when she was a little girl, but now it would not do.
Ο γιος μου το είχε κερδίσει σε μια κλήρωση. Εφόσον είναι τζέντλεμαν το έδωσε στην αδελφή του. Ήταν απολύτως εντάξει για όταν ήταν μικρό κοριτσάκι, αλλά τώρα δεν
I had some grey flannel fabric that I decided to use for this. I folded it into a rectangle and sewed up the 2 sides. Then I sewed 2 more seams on the bottom for a snug fit.
Είχα λίγο γκρι ύφασμα φανέλας που aαποφάσισα να χρησιμοποιήσω για το σκοπό αυτό. Το δίπλωσα σε ένα ορθογώνιο και έραψα τις 2 πλευρές. Μετά έραψα 2 ακόμη ραφές στο κάτω μέρος για μια άνετη εφαρμογή.
I pulled it through to hide Tweety.
Το πέρασα απ έξω για να κρύψω τον Τουϊτυ.
And turned the fabric inside.
Και γύρισα το ύφασμα μέσα.
This is how it looks on the bottom.
Έτσι
φαίνεται στο κάτω μέρος.
The top had a round pillow so I just added some pretty fabric.
Η κορυφή είχε ένα στρογγυλό μαξιλάρι έτσι προσθεσα ένα ωραίο ύφασμα.
I added some cord strings to keep the fabric in place but also to give it some visual interest.
Πρόσθεσα σπάγγους για να διατηρείται το ύφασμα στη θέση του, αλλά και να δώσει κάποιο οπτικό ενδιαφέρον.
I had a large DIY pillow that was also pink and so I re-covered it in this lovely fabric as well.
Είχα ένα μεγάλο μαξιλάρι που ήταν επίσης ροζ και γι ‘αυτό το έντυσα με αυτό το υπέροχο ύφασμα.
Here is a close up of the fabric. Is this not pretty? It has specs of other colors in it. And this is the yarn I used to make tassels.
Εδώ είναι σε κοντινό πλάνο το ύφασμα. Δεν είναι όμορφο; Έχει κομματάκια άλλων χρωμάτων. Και αυτό είναι το νήμα που χρησιμοποιησα για να κάνω τις φούντες.
Now that I look at this lumpy pillow, it looks as if Dr. Seuss could have made it. No matter, it will be used as a floor cushion.
Τώρα που βλέπω αυτό το άμορφο μαξιλάρι, φαίνεται σαν να το εχει φτιάξει ο Δρ Seuss. Δεν έχει σημασία, θα χρησιμοποιηθεί ως ένα μαξιλάρι δαπέδου.
And so with one fabric I have managed to banish the pink in 2 objects, the Tweety storage stool and the lumpy pillow. Another project finished in the “Blue Room” to-do list.
Και έτσι με ένα ύφασμα έχω καταφέρει να διώξω το ροζ σε 2 αντικείμενα, η αποθήκευση Tweety και το άμορφο μαξιλάρι.
Ένα άλλο έργο ολοκληρώθηκε στη λίστα του “μπλε δωματίου”.

What a great idea, Mary! I never would have thought of a slipcover. Love that floor cushion too. We all sit on the floor way more than on the furniture and pillows, cushions, bean bags are our friends! 🙂
Laura thanks for stopping by. I always try to use what I have at home and this fabric was perfect for the project.
Mary that is a clever idea! Now you have two beautiful seats on her room, and you have got rid off some fabric… extra room for another project!
Pili, no more Tweety!! And the pillow used to be a baby blanket (shhh, we won’t tell).
Great idea, very ingenious re-design! Well done. xx
Hi Camille, I just try to reuse what I have at home and come up with solutions.
Mary this is great! You have so good ideas to upcycle anything!!
I love the fabric you used on both pieces.
Hugs and hugs,
Anne.
Hi Anne, so glad to hear from you. I try to upcycle anything and everything. The most important thing is that my daughter is happy with her room.
Love that fabric!! You made an awesome pillow and stool set!!
Thanks Keri, I had it sitting around for quite a while and figured I should use it… you won’t believe how much fabric I have… I need more fabric projects!
Thanks for joining me at Home Sweet Home Mary! I have been doing the same with my son. We are in transition here. It is so fun to see how you covered up Tweety. Good makeover!
Sherry
Sharon it is so much fun transitioning the kids rooms when they start to mature. Thanks for visiting.
It turned out beautiful! I love what you did with it! I kinda feel sad about tweety thought haha
Ntina, don’t you worry about Tweety he is nice and snuggly warm! Thanks for stopping by!
Looks great! My daughter just got rid of all her pink too! She went with grey with a little bit of turquoise. Very grown up!
Pamela, when they reach that age they want a more sophisticated look and pink just does not cut it. Thanks for stopping by!
Hi Mary! I love the idea! My girls would like this, even though they are still in the pink phase ” big time” …. but it goes with all colours, that’s what I love about gray too. And the idea is just wonderfull!!!
Katrin, yes it is very practical and warmer than using contact paper (which I had considered at one point). Enjoy the pink while it lasts, because they may go to the black phase later…lol So glad you hopped on over!
You’d never know Tweety is hiding beneath the new cover. It looks great! Pinned and Tweeted.
Tweety is fine in there, thank you! Had to find an easy way to banish the pink. Beverly thanks for stopping by.
That looks wonderful. Such a creative idea. Thank you for linking up at #HomeMattersParty and we hope to see you again soon!
Thanks Shann. I look forward tot visiting again soon as well.
Great job!!
Here from 2UsesTuesday.
Thank you Melinda. I just popped over to your blog … you are so funny. Thanks, I’ll have to visit you for my daily chuckles.
Mary you’re so creative! I love what you did here and you’re also so funny. No it doe not look like Dr. Seuss made it …it looks like an incredibly talented Mom did!
Aww thank you Leslie. So I guess I have made Dr. Suess proud! Thanks for your sweet comments!
Such a cute and clever idea! Thanks for sharing at the Submarine Sunday Link Party!!
Thanks T’onna, I’m almost done… hiding everything, organizing. See you at the party!!
I love what a big change a bit of fabric and yarn make to this stool! It went from a child’s piece to one that will transition into adulthood. I love the fabric, it pulls in so many colors while staying a neutral. Great job!
Thanks again Nikki. That is exactly what I’m aiming for..A transition to adulthood.
I really like the flannel fabric you chose to cover the tweety trash can and pillow Mary. What a transformation! Thanks so much for sharing your projects at Dream. Create. Inspire. Link. I hope you had a great weekend and take care, Tara
Thanks Tara, I was going for something neutral, and if I want to upscale it even more, I can remove the cords and change the fabric on the pillow. Thanks for dropping by,
