The Ottoman-Finally


A while back I asked for your advice about recovering the ottoman.  Thank you for all of your input!  I finally found the fabric and recovered it yesterday.  Because the sofa is white, I wanted a fabric that would contrast with the white slipcover and stand up to big feet and snacks.  My 11 year, otherwise known as my go-to guy for design advice, suggested that I paint the legs black.  The product description said the legs were ebonized, but when it arrived they looked more red than anything.




I still need to work on the pillows, but I am so happy to complete this project.  Stay tuned for a post showing how I refurnished this room without spending a dime.  Gotta love that.


Have a great weekend!
