Ottoman

(download)

We're moving into a new house this week and I've been dreaming of what to do with the different spaces. I would so love to have a formal lounge with bovine leather couches, and then a tv lounge with more casual furnishings.

I saw these ottomans and thought they'd be perfect for the latter. I REALLY don't like pink, but a deep red or olive green, even a soft gold or bronze would do quite nicely.

They seem easy enough to make. And are multi-functional (is that a word?). Footstool, side table, chair/seat, even a coffee table. I've seen similar ottomans with a glass sheet on top that easily transform a simple footstool into a classic coffee table.

This is very practical and, I think, will be amongst the items at the top of the list to make after 'the move'. I don't really need coffee tables or side tables, but extra seating and foot stools will always be handy. Ummm, yes, I do like this.
