As I posted before I rescued this vintage ottoman from the trash pile.
It was in sad shape when we found it. It had been in a storage shed on the property we bought for probably at least 30 years if I had to guess. Could have just been around 20 but still that is a long time.
I started the project by cleaning it up and removing the old fabric and skirt.
Then I sanded and painted the legs. Leaving a little bit of patina I guess you could call it on the metal part.
I could have just gone down to the store and bought new legs but I wanted it to have some character and something from the original look.
Once the fabric was all removed I basically just had a box left with holes for the legs.
I replaced the worn out top cushion that goes under the fabric and then covered the top and sides with batting.
Once that was completed I covered with the new fabric. This really pretty fabric called Adele by Magnolia Home.
I had a picture in my head when I started off a blue and white floral fabric and after searching the web this was the one that stood out to me. Not surprising since I love all things Magnolia. ☺
After covering with the new fabric the only thing left was to put some fabric on the bottom to finish it out.
For my first attempt at furniture recovering I was pleased with how this project turned out.
