So this is the result of my fiancé and I going furniture shopping and finding nothing we liked. We got a few great ideas and saw a few things we liked but nothing that had everything, right size, built-in storage, a spare seat/foot stool etc…so when we got home we were both sitting down and staring at our crappy 4 year old laminated coffee table that we bought cheaply after just moving to Australia, which we hate and we both had this crazy idea at the exact same time, why don’t we try and modify it to make our own ottoman?! What do we have to loose? So it all goes to hell and we stuff it up, well it was just a cheap coffee table we hated anyway…and here is the result of three days and several trips to the hardware & fabric stores. Not a huge amount of sewing, a lot more staple gunning (which is just as fun!) and some clever math. I am going to re-upholster our dining chairs next to match and add some coordinating cushions to the couches.
Material Notes

Wow, this is so clever. I love that it has storage space as well. I know what you mean about not finding what you like. I’ve been looking for a coffee table for ages and never see one that I like. (It’s got to have storage for the kids’ board games). Now if I was as handy as the two of you, I’d be laughing.

Well done it has turned out really well and look at all the storage space you have as well. Hope all goes well with the dining chairs and cushions.
