Slip Covered Ottomans

When redecorating your home, often the most inexpensive option isn't finding the best deal for something new... it's repurposing or redoing something you already have.

Enter my ottomans (please ignore the flaking, painted concrete basement floor).

I registered for these suckers at Bed, Bath and Beyond before Mr. RBR and I got married. It was when these square ottomans first came out. I thought they were mega cool. Of course now these little ottomans are all over the place. Now they have cool fabrics, and even storage inside. Nope, not these. No storage. Just little square ottoman cubes. Plus they look a little boring, don't they? It's not like they're offensive. They're just... yawn.

Well not anymore, honey!

A little fun black and white fabric (3 1/3 yards for two). Esmee by Wavery.

Sewn into a slipcover. I have not done much of this, but you just pin it inside out and sew. Sometimes the best way to learn to do something, is just to try to do it!

Now take a look!

No one would ever dream of calling these two boring. They're the life of the party, er, basement!

Speaking of basement, I owe you an update. Major progress. You know it's going to be my mom cave, right?

A before and after? You bet.

Linking to some of these great parties.

Now go make something!
