Making A Tufted Ottoman For The Household Unit Of Measurement Room

About a calendar month agone nosotros shared some images of our updated menage unit of measurement room as well as mentioned that nosotros had made a large tufted ottoman to become inwards forepart of the sofa thence that nosotros could set our feet upwards to a greater extent than comfortably every night. Our master copy conception was to buy ane but I wanted it to hold upwards closed to v feet long as well as nearly ii feet deep which ended upwards beingness a much harder to honor size than I anticipated. Eventually I gave upwards as well as decided to travail to brand one. I made a basic one several years ago thence I figured it couldn't hold upwards also difficult to brand ane again. I wanted the base of operations to expect a picayune flake dissimilar this fourth dimension though, as well as I needed it to hold upwards quite a flake larger.

This projection took a picayune longer than I anticipated but it was truly pretty tardily (just a picayune fourth dimension consuming) as well as I am thence happy that I did own got the fourth dimension on it because I loved beingness able to acquire it the size as well as stuff I wanted. Technically, it's non completely done equally I notwithstanding own got to add together a picayune flake of trim back to the spot where the stuff as well as woods meet, but seeing how it may hold upwards a piece earlier I acquire roughly to that I figured I would become ahead as well as portion the photos straight off (and at the bottom of the postal service are to a greater extent than details on how nosotros made it). It's definitely non perfect. I want I had spent a picayune to a greater extent than fourth dimension working on the tufting, but all inwards all nosotros are quite happy amongst it!

A piece agone I saw a tutorial on Kristi's blog, Addicted 2 Decorating, that showed a novel as well as much easier agency to tuft. I decided to evidence it for this projection as well as own got to nation it was sooooo much ameliorate than the agency I did it inwards the past.  And if you've never been to her site earlier yous own got to caput over as well as banking company gibe it out. The things she does all on her ain are absolutely incredible!

This isn't going to hold upwards a tutorial hither seeing how yous tin shipping away acquire the tufting tutorial from Kristi, as well as thence the base of operations is quite easy. But hither are a few photos from the process. The commencement matter nosotros did was grade out our x's. I had ii picayune helpers who idea this work was quite fun thence our x's were definitely non super precise =) but that's okay. After nosotros marked the spots nosotros only followed the tutorial for the top.

Once the laissez passer on was finished I went out to the garage as well as started working on the base. I used my kreg jig as well as basically only attached the side rails to the legs similar this:

Once the rectangle was built I decided to add together some bracing because it was thence long as well as I wanted to brand certain it had enough of support. In the photograph below I had only balanced some extra woods I had across thence I could grade where to cutting them as well as afterward that I used my kreg jig to screw the cross braces inwards thence they were degree amongst the side bars that agency the laissez passer on of the ottoman tin shipping away repose prissy as well as apartment onto the frame. Also brand certain to brand bag holes on the side rails thence yous tin shipping away easily attach the laissez passer on of the ottoman in ane trial you've finished edifice as well as staining it.

For the stain I only set on ane coat of Rustoleum's Weathered Gray as well as thence yous tin shipping away catch on the left work of the photo higher upwards that over laissez passer on of the weathered grayish I added Minwax's Provincial. Once the base of operations was dry out I only work my drill to connect the base of operations to the ottoman laissez passer on as well as it was finished!
