THIS is the perfect project for me! I love projects (just took down a drop ceiling yesterday and re doing a basement room) but I have never tackled a make it yourself furniture with upholstery project before! We have a baby coming in a couple weeks here and this would be so soft and unassuming for when she starts crawling, plus lightweight to move around for uses all over the house (family room, living room, bedroom and porch!) thanks for the info and great pictures. If you had not done the photos I think I'd be scared to try!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03709770591864481245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2576412671838090092.post-60593344603552294252011-09-29T19:57:27.310-05:002011-09-29T19:57:27.310-05:00That turned out awesome, Holls!That turned out awesome, Holls!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04095579611035877956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2576412671838090092.post-23854304769012691132011-09-19T16:54:26.679-05:002011-09-19T16:54:26.679-05:00To re-address the black fabric....So, it looks lik...To re-address the black fabric....So, it looks like a lighter color should have been used in this step...and I think I made a boo-boo in my process (got my fabrics mixed up a bit)...BUT the black does not show through the heavier fabric...AND, hey it is my first time, so I am giving myself a pass.Holly Lefevrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01682463489134875301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2576412671838090092.post-70011519240717195782011-09-19T16:12:11.825-05:002011-09-19T16:12:11.825-05:00Holly, it turned out beautifully!Holly, it turned out beautifully!Jenn Ericksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05484708374808620986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2576412671838090092.post-91016033512164387862011-09-19T10:25:27.766-05:002011-09-19T10:25:27.766-05:00Wow!

I...Really impressive, Holly! I love your ottoman!<br /><br />I've done a fair amount of upholstery, but nothing super complicated. There used to be a show on cable called "The Furniture Guys" that gave great step by step instructions on refinishing and upholstering furniture. I learned a lot from watching it.Willoughbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15260987219988824912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2576412671838090092.post-67385151256341280162011-09-18T21:20:49.365-05:002011-09-18T21:20:49.365-05:00WOW!

This is NOT a complete tutorial...the purpose is to show you can build one using this kit.<br /><br />The instruction also address the use of the black fabric versus something lighter or covering it before applying upholstery. It does not show through my fabric at all, because my fabric is heavy and thick.<br /><br />All good points Sarah.

Great job too! Sorry to nit pick but that black piece of fabric draped over the dacron should have been put on the bottom so that dust etc doesn't get up into the ottoman. I'm thinking (hoping) you didn't use it there as the black wouldn't be a good under fabric for your neutral upholstery fabric.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10384173371425522135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2576412671838090092.post-44427402840137388932011-09-18T20:06:25.748-05:002011-09-18T20:06:25.748-05:00Holly I love the oval shape.
