After seeing the lovely storage ottoman Shawn made for our apartment, my mom thought she would like one in her house too. So we decided to make her one as a Christmas present...the Christmas before last? And we finally finished it this June :)
You see, Shawn gets lots of fun ideas for projects, so there's usually a few going on at once. And he likes trying new ideas out, which sometimes take a little longer to finish. But that's all part of of learning and growing in a skill, right? Practice, practice, practice!
Instead of having the whole thing upholstered like ours, Shawn wanted to try making a panel design with oak trim, accented with narrower walnut trim.
Do you think he has enough clamps? :P
(he doesn't think so)
As he finished up the base with some coats of poly, I upholstered the lid.
We were able to surprise my mom when we brought it along on a weekend trip. She hadn't seen any pictures of it in progress, but she loved how it turned out!
Wow! Love it so much! You guys are really rocking this furniture thing ;)
