For Christmas I asked Santa for a big square ottoman (similar shape to the gray one in the middle or the zebra print one). I must not have been such a good girl last year because Santa gave me a gift certificate to Home Depot with a note attached that read, "Make It Yourself!" Sheesh what a cheepskate.

In the next couple weeks I plan to turn this contruction zone in to something beautiful. As you can see we have a coffee table now that serves as a nice dance platform for my boys and place to draw black permanent marker all over when mom is not looking. However, the rectangle shape is just rubbing my feng shui the wrong way. I can't bear to part with our current one (it was my homework table when I was young) and if all goes well I might experiment with turning in to something fab for the den...we'll see.
I've also been spending a ridiculous amount of time envisioning a bold pattern with a pop of color to cover the new ottoman but in the end I will probably do something simple, washable, fresh and...white. Can't go wrong with white...I say!

I am beyond impressed that you have the skills to whip yourself up an ottoman. You are amazing! I love the bold patterns, they are so fun.
Michelle,
I don't know if you can remember me from way back when. I just stumbled on your blog (I was friends with Rebecca White in HS). I'm so excited to have finally found you! Your family looks adorable. I can't wait to hear from you!
