Before and After: Ottoman

There have been many small projects going on around here in whatever spare time I have.  I have lots of ideas, but finding the time to execute is a little harder.  I thought I'd share one of my projects I finished a couple of weeks ago.  


I found this ottoman a few years ago at an antique shop.  Nothing incredibly unique or special, but it fits just right in front of a chair in our bedroom.  Plus, I like the plain, classic lines that can be made a bit more exciting with a fun fabric.


Here's the before:

The fabric itself I liked, but it didn't go with our new, "brighter" master bedroom plan.  So out with the old and in with the new....

After:

Much better!  I'm so very close to sharing the entire bedroom makeover.  Just a few small touch-ups to do before I can slap a "done" label on it!  

Here's a small look at the bedroom.  Things already look a tad different because I decided to paint the headboard a crisper white.

I hope to one day get rid of the grayish-blue carpet, but for now, it'll just have to do.
