A much needed facelift.......

Between my constant ramble about my sewing ideas and  how I want to redecorate/improve our apartment I might drive Chris nuts. We have been thinking about throwing out this old dingey storage ottoman for a while because, well, its old and dingey. That was until my dear friend Melissa Hare's blog  inspired me to re-surface it.  Here is the link to her blog entry:

and the final product

a great improvement if I do say so myself:)
