INSPIRED MAKEOVER!!

Found this little table at GW last week...rough shape but solid...nice lines...sturdy....all that equals P-O-T-E-N-T-I-A-L!
After a little paint job and adding a fabulous old feedsack that I made into a cushion.....it turned into the best looking little ottoman!!

"POTENTIAL" is so rewarding when you get a great outcome. This could have easily stayed a cute little table with a new paint job, BUT after a little extra use of the ole noggin....I'm a likin this alot better PLUS it recycled not only the table, but the feedsack was repurposed and the padding I used as well. Recycling has some great rewards! I was inspired to do this after seeing a wonderful chair redone with feedsacks at a local antique mall....too see it click here. How were you inspired today????

    I LOVE what you did with the little table! Feed sacks are one of my favorite things to use on projects, I'm going to do curtains for our bedroom out of them too. Keep the great ideas coming! Have a great day, Dawn
