Hello, everyone!
Today I am sharing with you one of the projects we made during Spring Break.
A new ottoman for our master bedroom sitting area.
A new ottoman for our master bedroom sitting area.
This was a very easy project.
My husband started by building some pretty legs which we painted in metallic bronze to match the color
of our bedroom furniture.
While they were drying, we got busy building the frame with scrap wood we already had in the garage.
When it was finished we added thick foam for the seat and cover the whole frame with batting.
We used some left over drop cloth to cover it. I did wash it first and iron it to make it softer.
After taking some measurements, I sew the four corners to match the size of the frame.
We stapled the fabric underneath.
To finish it off, we used old gold color
nail heads.
For now, I painted an old tray in the same
bronze color as the ottoman legs and used it to display some of my favorite books.
And that's it! A simple project to finish our little sitting area.
Total cost of this project was $40.00 spent in buying the foam, batting and nail heads.
Now, I think the area needs a new chandelier.
Shsss.... Don't tell my husband. It is a surprise. :)

Hi, the ottoman looks lovely, blends so well with your furnishings and colour scheme, and you made it yourself, I am very impressed!
ReplyDeleteJust a small thought, I think the "tree" at the back of your chair doesnt blend in with the decor, maybe an arched reading lamp instead?
Just my two cents worth, because I love a cosy reading corner, esp at night just before I sleep. Feel free to disregard this idea,
in the end its your bedroom, and cant wait to see your "chandelier" also!
Thanks for sharing, Mrs Singh, Malaysia
Maria Elena, the ottoman looks spectacular! It all looks like a picture from a PB magazine, beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThat is just beautiful, Maria Elena! Your bedroom is beautiful and your little sitting area is just perfect. I could just hug whoever the person was who discovered how wonderful drop cloths were for so many wonderful things other than actually using for painting! Love the print on the wall -- I recognize that. You've been shopping at Kirklands again......lol!
ReplyDeleteWow, I love the look of this and the perfect details!

ReplyDeleteWow, such a classy ottoman for such a great price. We could totally use a new ottoman so I *might* be adventerous enough to try your project. But more likely I'll just admire yours :)
