updating the master bedroom {the ORC edition}: week 6

This is the last week on the One Room Challenge before the big reveal, and while I am getting closer, I am not quite ready! But I almost refinished my little corner:

Quite cute, if I do say so myself!
And as I shared last week, this is what my reading nook looked like before:

I relocated the comfy but huge red chair, and brought in from another room a smaller chair.

The chair needed some help with the upholstery, so I took everything apart, and recovered it in some beautiful blue fabric. For the seat. it was quite easy: just remove the fabric (and all the staples)

and staples the new fabric.

Then I took apart the piping (to reuse the rope inside)

and made some matching piping.

Surprisingly it was not cut on the bias,

so I also cut it straight, stitched it and then stapled it around the seat cushion,

giving it a more polished look.

The difficulties started with the back part of the chair.

As I was taking that part apart,

I realized I would not be able to put it back the same way,

it would require a fancier stapler than I have.

So I decided to just staple the back back,

then the cushion, the back front,

and then glue some rope to hide the staples.

I found the perfect trim for that, I just need to buy a new glue gun,

Miss C. used it a lot and informed me that a new one was needed!

May be we should invest in a proper one instead of the really cheap one....

I really like how the corner turned out,

I found the perfect rug at Target, a mix of blue/green and indigo,

and rearranges some furniture.

Now I really need to finish working on the bathroom,

we took down the glued mirror,

a little bit of a scary event, but it came off just like in the YouTube video

in one piece:

the ugliness! but once I patch up and touch up the walls, I will be installing 2 of these lovely mirrors:

yep, they arrived just on time! It will be another busy weekend.... Here is my mood board: Until next time, happy DIYing!
