..........are some huge drawers from a bathroom reno back some 5 yrs ago. Hubby wanted to throw them in the trash but I said NOOOOO! Then I blurted out the old junkers' addage..." I'll do something with 'em, just don't touch 'em!!". You know the saying, you all said it! So I finally came up with a project I could use one drawer for. A giant ottoman/coffee table!!! Always wanted one,but could never afford one. So cut out a piece of plywood for the top, found some leftover foam from a previous project, bought some fabric and a few decorations and went to town!
Gluing foam to plywood...( along with my fingers..)
Glued on a decorative piece I found at a yard sale....
Top's on................and hinged for more storage.
Now the feet ,which were table legs off a table I dissected........
and cut up, attached............and..................TAA DAA!
Very clever! Just an FYI...I removed your link from FFF and added the hyperlink directly to this post. Your original link just led to your blog. So confusing, I know! :)
That's such a cool idea! Thanks so much for sharing. I make little ottomans all the time and now if I can find some old drawers this will save me the step of creating the box base. Thanks again. Awesome. Kristine xx
What a wonderful idea. You are so creative. I am at the adage of do not throw anything away. Makes for a messy house and in my case basement, but you never know when it will come into use. Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend, Sherry
I just the love the elements that went into the making of this...the fabric and different feet. So creative and useful. Way to go! and thanks so much for sharing your prior drawers turned ottoman. Perfect post for a Prior Lives Party! Lezlee
Wow. I wish I'd have seen this a few days ago. I needed a new coffee table really bad. It took a while to actually find one that I liked. I love this idea. It is soooo cute.
What a great re-purposing! I love how you dissected a table and got such fun legs to use. That must be a huge drawer.
I totally understand the bit about telling your hubby to not throw away those drawers. If he read some blogs, he'd understand. On the other hand, after seeing how you created this ottoman, he's probably a believer!
Another amazing creatin on Hollyhock Farm, lol. I hope you haven't ran out of windows girl, we need some Christmas ones now. This project you did, turned out incredible. This is why I love your blog, you come up with such GREAT ideas. Totally love it. Thanks SO MUCH for linking up to **Amaze me AUgust** I really appreciate it.
Also FYI,,, I am starting another ~~Special Party~~ this week, called **6 weeks 2 JINGLE** yup all things Christmas, so when you do something really awesome, come share, :) Thanks again, Bella :)

Ottoman from a DRAWER! Love IT!! You got it goin' on with that creativity thing. Surely hubby understands by now ;) Thanks SO much for linking this up to the Winter Wonderland party over at I Gotta Create!
I actually made a DIY ottoman out of an old coffee table, but a drawer?
That's brilliant!
I would be thrilled if you would link this up at my first ever Feature Friday Free-for-All (200+ links already and growing...yes, I'm a little excited! ; )).

Thanks for sharing this. Such a great idea.
Thanks, I do get a bit confused, even after reading all the blogger help. Some day I'll get the hang of it.
That is so clever, I never would have thought to make that. Kudos!
Very cool idea! Who doesn't need extra storage right below their feet in front of the TV? :) A drawer is perfect!
