I love taking an old piece of furniture and giving it a second life! This $2.99 end table from a Thrift Store was perfect for turning into a cute ottoman! I did it for under $25.00 and it was actually pretty easy!
This little ottoman started life as an end table!
I found her barely standing at the thrift store for $2.99! I love to repurpose furniture don't you?
The Husband added a few screws to make the table more sturdy, then I cut 2" foam to fit the top of the table & glued it on...
I painted the legs and sides of the table my favorite color blue and distressed it just a little using sand paper ...Four layers of quilt batting insured a cushy feel! I used an electric stapler which was a necessity for this project!
I chose a gray-blue piece of heavy fabric for the cover and stapled like a nut! (If you are a professional I'll go ahead and apologize!)
Leftover fabric from some curtains and some trim I got who knows where were perfect for a ruffle to hide the 7 million staples! (I stapled the ruffle on, then using a giant needle, sewed the trim)
She's a sweet little ottoman! (We've since moved and now she lives in the Master Bathroom where she's a comfy little stool!)
