This is my before picture *Warning, it’s scary!*
This was a hand me down (FREE!) and didn’t look like this till the HB flopped down on it one day. RIIIIIIPPPPPPP.
Some people might have decided it was ready for the trash at this point…… you know I considered it till I priced large ottomans! Not only was the price not happening, I couldn’t seem to find another ottoman that was the perfect sofa/foot height so it had to stay.
It hid in shame till the day I found this
By the way, that’s a faux fur coat, no animals were harmed in the making of this post, or coat!
Yep, that’s right……I found almost a whole roll of upholstery fabric at goodwill for $9 in the exact color I had wanted. I may or may not have laughed to myself and said “not anymore” in my head when asked by another goodwill shopper “Oh, they have fabric here?”.
The ottomans time had come, I flipper her over, unscrewed the legs and pulled out a MEEEEEEELLLLLIIIOOOONNN of these
I was finally ready to start the beautification.
Beautiful, AND not a bit of sewing!

Really enjoyed seeing your tufting pics...it came out so good Nikki! That's a beautiful blue, and what a steal at the Goodwill. Gotta love that place.- At the moment I'm stuck here on my couch w/ my poor pooch who is recovering from surgery. He's in so much pain, it's really pathetic. And I'm a pathetic wreck trying to care for him! But at least I have so fun blogs to read, right? Hope you're having a great day!
I love the color! It looks amazing!
Thank you for the inspiration pictures. I have two 'before' ottomans who luckily, still have their fabric intact as well as a deep-down ugly. Mine will have to do without the tufting, no cad-weilding people around here. Put your feet up and enjoy your hard work.
OK, first: I love the way you tell a story. It makes me grin.
Second... LOVE that! I have one in the attic that I am waiting for a good fabric find to tackle. I really want it tufted too. I hope mine looks half as good as yours when it's finally done.
Great job.
I Love this! Super cute! I would love it if you linked up to my Talk About it Tuesday party because you have such cute ideas!

Very nice! Were the tufts difficult to do. . .I've got a chair here. . .A little afraid to tackle it.

Wow you did a great job on it and I love the color too!

You all are so sweet! I'm thinking I may make a post with a few "tufting tips" I learned along the way.
Oh and don't worry, tufting doesn't take AUTOCAD!
Oh, I love it! And to think you only spend $9.00 and still have all that fabric! Great deal!
Wow much better!!
I really like those pink flowers.
