This dated ottoman leaps from
dull to delightful as verdant vinyl gives way to purple plush
and polka dots.
A throwback to the '70s, this
sightly ottoman had seen better days. Luckily, designer Wendy
Rieman Musgrave saw beyond its shortcomings and rescued the funky
footstool with a new cover.
Take it Off. Musgrave carefully removed the original
cover so she could use it as an approximate guide for a new one.
She also replaced the worn foam and batting with new.
Colorful Coat. To assure a snug fit, Musgrave chose fabrics
with a bit of stretch -- lightweight twill and denim in white
and three shades of purple.
She cut and pieced squares from
the different fabrics so when sewn together in a strip they fit
around the top third of the ottoman. For the bottom two-thirds
she cut a rectangle from lavender fabric to the same length as
the pieced strip and added an extra 4 inches to the width for
wrapping underneath
