This little guys was sent from the second hand ottoman gods. I had just finished the project from my last post and I just knew it needed a foot rest to complement it.So I went on the prowl and it took me a couple times of going to the second hand store to find it, but there he was!

I liked the fabric that was already on it but the skirt HAD TO GO! I ditched the skirt, you can see in the first photo that I’m taking out the staples. This proved a problem because when I took of the skirt it was left unfinished and the bottom 1 1/2 did not look good. To make it look better I used the skirt fabric to cover up the bottom portion that the skirt had left bear underneath (you can see in the bottom photo how it looks finished.) lastly I wanted the wood color to match the wood of the chair it was going with so I sanded off the dark stain (you can also see the difference in the first and last photo.)

Doesn’t he look look great! I know they aren’t the same color but I love the combo so much. It helps that they are in the same hue family and the same type of fabric!

hugs and kisses!
