Re-Upholstered Ottoman

Re-Upholstered Ottoman - finished ottomanI found this ottoman for $7.50 at Goodwill. Then, I found the "material" (actually a curtain from Goodwill for $4.50) that went with the colors in the room where I am using the ottoman. It needed to be re-upholstered because the leather was worn and I didn't like the dark color. You can use this same procedure with reupholstering chairs if the seat is removable.

The updated ottoman looks great. I did this with the seats of dining room chairs one time and it was pretty easy.
