Suzani-Covered Ottomans

I saved these images from someone's blog ages ago. Does anyone know whose?


I love the idea of buying a large suzani on ebay and making a custom ottoman to highlight the suzani's design. It would be an easy project with some plywood and furniture legs. Or use an old coffee table.


Pretty, right?


Here are a couple suzanis that would work well for a project like this. All of these are less than $100 right now.

  4. Ha! You just posted my entire watch list! The very same pieces, no kidding. And I was thinking how great they'd be for a custom upholstery project.

  13. The images are pages from Do It Yourself magazine (a quarterly publication from Better Homes and Gardens). I think this project was from a late 2008/early 2009 issue.
