So picture someone surrounded by boxes and packing tape, eagerly pulling material off an old ottoman ONE WEEK before her movers are set to arrive. Yep - that's me.
My friend Jess had this awesome ottoman that look deceivingly innocent but I've been told is a cherished piece by the family as there are so many memories associated with it but that there is every possibility that some famous feet that may have rested upon the material. I can only speculate!

The really neat part of this project was the material chosen to recover the old traditional brown floral that had seen much better days. Jess found an amazing modern twist on an art deco patterned material and while I would have walked past the colourful bolt - her eye went to it immediately. The result is a traditional piece of furniture with a colourful modern twist. I'm so pleased overall with how this turned out.
The secret for this piece was to treat both the cushioning on top and the base as different parts - covering each piece first and then attaching the elements together afterwards.
