TUFT LOVE
I understand that being in the design industry has its hazards one being and ever evolving style or
the capabilities of seeing the newest ideas on the block and having access to some great deals on furniture and decor that makes it hard to resist the temptation of changing over furniture and accessories a little to often.
I have managed to keep most of these temptations at bay due to the financial controller in my house being so “in charge” of our finances. I must do a presentation before the said items are even thought about.
I have worked him out though over the years and without revealing my “how to read husband”secrets I have to say he is usually pretty accommodating.
I love the round tufted Ottoman
Why am I telling you all this? Well we were considering an armchair for our bedroom and so far seeing as our bedsides have still not arrived, line has become wait until they arrive and then we will see what we can fit.
I think we both know its not going to happen, for hubby I think he quietly thinks this means no more money to spend in that room, for me, my plan B is come up with a new solution that will fit.
So I started researching my option and believe I have come up with the perfect solution.
Yes, the Tufted Ottoman……..Oh how I have fallen in love with this lovely looking piece.
This has become a record of ideas now of what I am on the hunt for.
I was never a fan of Donna when I was a teenager admiring the lifestyle of those in Beverley Hills 90210
But as her home is pictured here I am a fan….Love that living room.
This one I found, is almost perfect. Same colour wood as my bedroom furniture and the best shape to fit in the room against the wall opposite the bed in our robe walkway.
This one is a little out of my price range
Would you have ever guessed this was DIY
I think I have found a new project.
I am so impressed.
Thanks Jenny of Little Green Notebook
So if we can’t buy one new maybe hubby will be interested in a project, after the gardens have been established and the wet areas have been painted…..
I know its probably not a priority but….
I would love to hear if you have spyed one of these anywhere for sale at a Minister of Finance loving price…
Wow.. What a great DIY project. Don’t worry about asking your hubby…. just surprise him one day with, ‘honey, look what I made.’ lol! Hmmmmm. now where can I put a tufted ottoman? :)
love this post, I to have a Minister for Finance & really have to sell my decorating cause, I also have a passion for a tufted ottoman & realize I will need to make my own to get one at a reasonable price. I found this fantastic tutorial herehttp://www.peppertowne.com/2010/03/diy-button-tufted-ottoman.html
I also forgot to drop by to let you know 1 calorie equals 4.2 kilojoules. Hope all this is helpful.
Have a lovely day :0)
Cheers!!!
Great post thanks, I will check out some of the tutorials mentioned. I agree with you perhaps just making one and saying surprise! I made it myself and saved X dollars! I also love the idea of a Louis chair in the bedroom, one day…. keep saving… Enjoy the rest of your week. ;-)
Great post by the way. I say if you have the time and can do something yourself – go for it. I like the idea of a tufted ottoman, i was going to do that for my living room at one point, but fell in love with a coffee table! :)
