An 'Estate Sale' industrial bin becomes a rustic ottoman with storage on wheels, and a special feature waiting within.
So here we go friends...
First up, I line up the casters and predrill the holes for the screws. After completing this process for all four casters I'm on to the next step.
Next, I sized up the lengths and place two pieces of reclaimed cedar inside the bottom of the bin. This will give it a level and clean base for future storage.
The casters were screwed down through the predrilled holes on the outside of the bin, and flush into the reclaimed cedar within, securing both the casters and the cedar boards in place.
Upholstering the footrest of the ottoman is next on the list. Here I have my premeasured and precut plywood resting on top of the lawn chair cushion.
Break time, or should I say, 'Friday Fun in the Sun with a Shadow Silhouette Selfie'.
Okay, back to work. So the upholstery is tightened up and battened down. Next up, I measured up and fastened down two pieces of reclaimed cedar to the underside of the footrest.
The reclaimed cedar serves two purposes; it gives the underside a clean and finished look, and as for the second purpose? You'll have to wait on that. :)
The stenciled '012' was done with an image transfer method. In this case, I printed out my desired image, then I traced along the backside of the paper.
The final product, an industrial bin turned down home décor rustic ottoman.
...and the special feature waiting within is a serving tray or simply a side table display.
Featured here is ice cold lemonade with fresh rosemary. Yum!
The braided twine handles make it easy to remove the cushion top, and they double as durable handles to carry the tray.
When not serving as a tray or side table display, the ottoman cover fits snug over your stored keepsakes and accessories.
Well folks, I hope you enjoyed 'An Industrial Bin Turned Rustic Ottoman'.
