Reupholstered Ottoman - DIY, No Sew!

I've been very busy since moving into our new home last month. I'm going to try to post a lot of my house projects here. The big project will be a new kitchen, and that post will come later (I'm still waiting for my Ikea domsjo single bowl sink- it's backordered!).

Yesterday I reupholstered an ottoman for my living room. I forgot to take pictures until the fabric was already detached from the ottoman...woops! I used a no-sew method (my sewing machine hasn't made it to the new house yet) where you fold fabric under at the corners to create a straight seam.

Before:




And after:



It adds nice color to my mostly white living room :) I'm planning on new turned legs, which will be white.
