BEFORE:

ugly, dirty ottoman. suffered from too much sun and slobbery children.

AFTER:

ahhh! I like it! I'm pleased that the piping (which is not filled, just folded fabric sticking out like a tag) turned out nicely and looks like it matches even though it is a completely different color from the brick red stripes.  

Next, the couch cushions! (well okay, no. Next: Halloween costumes!)
