An Ottoman For My Living Room

A few months ago I posted about my ottomans, or “tuffets” as I call them, hereI showed a base for that post that was put together and it just needed paint, foam and fabric.

Tuesday I got some fabric that I had ordered from fabric.com.  I bought this fabric to make a window valance for an upstairs bathroom.

Since I decided on the Braemore toile and stripe for the window valance, the Aviary toile was available for another project.  Luckily, I remembered the base I had for a tuffet in my garage and, while I had my free quart of Glidden black paint open for my coffee table, I got the wood base and painted the legs on it black.  {Don’t be peeking at the coffee table!}

I traced the top on the foam and cut it with a serrated steak knife.  I put that on the top and then covered it with some batting, which I stapled to the underside of the round.

I cut out my fabric leaving enough extra fabric all the way around so that I could staple that to the underside as well.  I also did a hole in the middle to do a tufted button, but I need to find the button kit to finish that off.  I’m also thinking of adding some kind of trim.

I had everything except for the fabric and that cost $14.98 a yard.  

So because of this:
