I finally got a chance to try it. My friend Susan had this ottoman and asked if I wanted to recover it. We were both torn though because it was kinda cool how it was it just needed something.
So I took it home and waited for inspiration. First I aged the wood with the vinegar & steel wool. Then I sanded the finish off the legs. Then it sat some more.
Finally inspiration struck. I whipped up a cushion cover out of burlap and sewed upholstery webbing in a Union Jack Pattern onto it. Then I stuffed it with foam and batting.
I left the top cross piece long so that I could attach it to the ottoman with upholstery tacks.
I like how you can see underneath the pillow a little bit. There are springs under there so it's really cushy.
& I like the burlap roll thingy around the edges.
Whatcha think? Are you feeling this look?

I love this look & the union jack out that burlap stuff is awesome! Where did you get that stuff anyway?
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love this!!
I have never heard of deconstructed furniture but if it all looks as good as yours then I am all for it! Great job.
ReplyDeleteLove it! I just completed a chair that would look awesome with your ottoman. I will have to keep my eyes open for one.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration!
Love your ottoman! I have to laugh as I just made a deconstructed footstool last week....kinda similar!

That look is not for me, but I do like your ottoman very much! It looks wonderful, and I adore Union Jacks.

Your ottoman is crazy-cool! I like the deconstructed look too but I have a bunch of little kids running around and I'm afraid they would feel the need to pick at things...I don't know. This project turned out gorgeous! Nice work.
