I really, really, really want a chaise for my new sewing room. BUT until the perfect piece falls out of the sky and lands on Craig's List or at my favorite thrift store I will make due with the chair that I moved down from my old sewing studio.
I found this ottoman at the thrift store yesterday for $10 so this will do nicely in the interim.
With a little deconstruction and then the addition of some of my favorite vintage upholstery fabrics it looks pretty fabulous.
















I thought the pics were reversed! The blue is so beautiful and looks just like it was from the 50's! I ADORE it!!!!!

Omgoodness. I just saw the fabulous aqua sofa over on One Gal's Trash blog and remembered your ottoman. I think they were meant to be together. lol
