You have all impressed me with your Pottery Barn copies and your drop cloth upholstery. So, I have completed my first drop cloth PB copy. I combined these 2 designs from Pottery barn.
Several months ago I found a terribly messed up ottoman at the curb. It looked like a dog had chewed the burgundy vinyl covering, but it was large and heavy and structurally sound. So I brought it home. Finally last week I was inspired to tackle it. Of course, I don’t have a before picture. I do have a during picture.
This is the bottom half. It also had a 4” thick cushion on the top. When I took it all apart, I decided that there was plenty of room to make a storage compartment. So I made a bottom and covered this as one piece. I put a 3/8” piece of plywood on the foam and covered it as another piece. Then I put on hinges to connect the top and bottom.
Here is the finished product:
A storage ottoman.

I was also inspired by Two Succulent Sisters to make egg door decorations.
This one can store Fabric Flower hair clips.
Check out the Succulent Sisters.
My sale has gone fairly well.
That turned out awesome! I love that it has storage too!

Love it! You did a great job.
ReplyDeleteI love it! I just bought a huge ottoman at a garage sale and I want to try to recover it. I am not even an amateur seamstress though so I am glad you put up some tips. Thanks
ReplyDeletemelanie, that looks amazing!!! better than the inspiration- love the stripe in the center. it gives it just enough detail!
ReplyDeleteIt turned out great! I love that you were able to get storage out of it.
ReplyDeleteOkay that is fabulous! I am so impressed. I like yours even better because of the storage aspect to it! Great job. Thanks for sharing it with us at Inspiration Friday At The Picket Fence!

That turned out great!! What a bonus that it has storage! I'd love to see exactly how it was made...
ReplyDeleteBut how did you do this?! I want to copy you so bad, but have no idea where to start! How did you cover the base? How did you make the cording (I think that's what you did) on the bottom half? I'm sure you're busy but any how to would be very much appreciated!!
