Gray Diamond Ottoman

This is the OTTOMAN THAT I COVET!!! My client ordered her fabric from Serena and Lily. I think I might NEED some of it. It would be beautiful on pillows in my front room.

Here is her ottoman before….Dark Leather, she wanted to add more fabric to the room. Since I love gray, I agreed.

She wanted to leave the dark legs exposed and just cover the top with piping along the top and bottom.

Of course there was matching involved.

We took pics in her garage, because she was in a hurry and needed to put her little one down for a nap. I wish I could’ve seen it in the room! This was the same client that had me do the Gray Hexagon Ottoman as seen below.

                            

 
 
 
 

Here is the yellow and gray fabric I bought on my trip in North Carolina….I am going to redo my ottoman in this. So yellow and gray with a pop of turquoise on my pillows. I’ve been doing all these fun ottomans for everyone else, and I decided I need one too!
See don’t you think this gray diamond fabric will work well with it?

  3. Hey Shelley!

    How do you keep the slipcover from sliding all over the place? I have two square ottomans I bought at a garage sale and they are currently covered in ’70’s orange velvet. I started out making my first slipcover (using your DVD of course) with white canvas fabric, and it hasn’t been pretty. I also wanted the legs to show but it seems to either be too small overall (used pre-washed fabric and measured the top just like you measured the cushion) or it’s slipping around because the velvet is smoother? This ottoman being out of leather has got to be WAY slick…so I wondered if you had a tip/trick?

    Thanks,
