Headboard Update!

No...it's not finished just yet. I changed the design halfway through the project but here's a sneak peak.

More to follow!

Revamped ottoman

I had some time to myself this past weekend.  This does not happen very often.  The house was clean.  The laundry was done.  No one was waiting for me.  Ahh.  It was just me. 

That being said, I find it very difficult to just sit and rest.  I need to keep busy.  Busy equals workroom.  Workroom equals projects.  I have boxes of fabric leftover from projects.  It's always fun to rummage through them and see and if any great ideas pop up. 

Luckily, it didn't take long.  I have an old ottoman that has seen better days.  Time to revamp it.

I took the old floral upholstery off and spray painted the legs flat black.  In my leftover boxes,  I found some burlap fabric printed with a black "clock" pattern.  There wasn't quite enough fabric for the whole ottoman so I decided to cover the top of the ottoman with the burlap and use a solid black velvet for the skirt.  Nice contrast. Rough on top but smooth around the edges!  To finish off the project, I added a nail head trim around the skirt.

Voila!  My ottoman now has a new life and I had a great afternoon...
