Pretty sad huh? We have had our furniture for almost 8 years. The ottoman has taken a beating. It has too many stains to mention. I have been really annoyed with it lately. So I decided to take The Nester's idea of window mistreatments and see if I could do it with my ottoman. Anybody who knows me knows that I am SO NOT creative!
I started by cutting the fabric (is was duck cloth I think, is that what it is called?) and cutting it to the right size, just touching the floor on each side.
I then tucked the ends under, kind of like making a bed.
Then I used upholstery tacks to hold it. I hammered them in. It was trickier than I thought it was going to be.
This is the finished project for now. It isn't the greatest, but I don't have to look at or be embarrassed by the drooled red candy dye that was on it and is now hidden!

Nice job on the corners! I like how you used the tacks!
Wow, you got a comment from the Nester...major. The ottoman looks nice by the way, and I lo-o-ove the previous posts about Jakey and J-nice's hair, priceless. I need to get to posting too.
I think the ottoman looks great! Very impressive.
By the way, Jakey looks to cute taking his nap on the floor. So prescious!
