This sad little ottoman had quite the make over with some TLC. All four legs were wobbling, its filling all out of shape, fabric faded, staples rusted all in all a sad little pouf.
You might remember this photo were I had already removed the fabric and the guts of the ottoman and started painting.
I love stripes but every time I want to paint stripes I remember how much I do not enjoy them, but I love the result so these won't be my last stripes :)
The vintage black and white trim is to cover up the staples that hold the kilim to the pouf.
I'm so happy how this one became! Only the filling and the under fabric is new, everything else has a history.
Love how the kilim colors and stripes come back at the legs, of course this was the reason why I painted those stripes for hours in the first place :)
Look how sad the top was, the fabric was actually very bright in the inside it was now pastel from years of sun exposure.
The filling is higher than it was to accommodate the kilim without cutting it, not an inch went to waste :)
Here another sad detail of ripped fabric, dried out wood and rusted staples, the original upholstery was never well done but years did not help it either.
I always love how you transform old seemingly lost furniture into those happy colorful gems!
