Very nicely done! I'm impressed. Your ottoman is more cleanly finished underneath than many I've seen in stores, and your seams look perfect. You can rightly be proud of your work.

Wow -you should be enormously proud. It reminds me of my first thought after I constructed a padded headboard for my teen daughter. I instantly realized, "Well, the hard part is done, now I can easily make a slipcover anytime I want to change the look." Same for you, you could change the look at will, with the seasons if you wanted. REally nicely done. What size lumber did you use on the sides? Looks like 1x4s or 2x4s maybe? Maybe 1x6?

You should be very pleased! I love perfectly aligned seams. Great job!

Love your ottoman..great job! Do you mind if I ask where you found the fabric? It has all of the colors in my LR-and I am ready for a change!

You did a great job. That is very pretty fabric, too.

Very nice job! Can I ask you -- in the 2nd picture -- which shows the feet -- what kind of tool did you use to attach that washer? I have a piece of furniture with that same washer and can't figure out how to remove it so that I can recover it. TIA

bestyears ~ It's 1 x 6 pine for the sides and 1 x 4 for the bottom braces (where the feet hardward is "sunk"). And yes, I can change out the fabric, although I'd do slipcovers because I wouldn't want to take apart the bottom fabric, tack strip and cover.

sharonfl ~ I got the fabric through fabricguru. I had to buy the whole yardage amount (almost 7 yards) because it was the only piece of that particular pattern they had. I wish I knew who the textile mill was for info, but alas, I don't. I'll have around 4 yards left after I make the pillow covers.

gracie01 ~ The "washer" is actually a threaded set screw for bun feet. I drilled a hole through the bottom brace and set the metal cylinder into the hole. The metal cylinder is threaded on the inside to screw the bun feet hardware into. At the top of the cylinder is the "washer", which has 4 "teeth" to hammer into the wood to stabliize it. I took the feet and hardware off an old ottoman because I knew I would be able to use them. Turns out they're the same style as the feet on our sectional...lucky me ;o)

And I should say "thank you" to all of you for your kind and uplifting comments!

Just perfect...looks like a professional job!

Wow! It's beautiful. You did a very professional job. Don't you love that sense of accomplishment you get after successfully completing an ambitious project?

Goodness, you did a very good job. It looks so professional. Can you come to my house next week? :-)

Beautiful job!! Can't wait to see the whole finished room with the new sofa and the matching cushions! It will be fantastic!

Very well done indeed! :)

Great job Mrs. Mary, you must be so pleased!

.....Jane

Wow, you do excellent work. Can I send you my dining room chairs? LOL It looks beautiful.

Impressive, it's beautiful !!!

It looks Mrsmarrrrvelous! You, lady, are incredible. Take a huge bow. In fact, take several. Very few people would tackle a project like that from scratch but you did a quality job every step of the way. Now you get to enjoy it and be proud of yourself for years and years to come. WTG!

Awww, shucks ladies. You make a gal want to do a happy dance. I have to tell you that DH came downstairs this morning before work and asked, "Have you gone on 'your' forum yet? What else did they say?". I let him read the comments and he was absoultely tickled! Considering there are many of you who are the doyennes of substance and style, including some pros, he knows if there's honest critique, suggestions or praise to be given, I can count on the GW'ers for an honest opinion.
Thank you one and all.

Thanks Mrsmarv! And yes, slipcovers is exactly what I meant!
