DIY Ottoman Makeover from a Coffee Table

DIY Ottoman Makeover from a Coffee Table

Gina from The Shabby Creek Cottage turned an old coffee table into a dreamy DIY ottoman, and the transformation is fabulous.

She added thick foam, batting, and a soft gray fabric to totally change the look and function of the piece.

Her no-sew approach makes this project so approachable, even if you’re not super crafty.

The fabric is simply stapled underneath, and she used spray adhesive to hold the foam and batting in place—super smart.

I also appreciate that she shares the exact materials she used, like the 3-inch foam and how she sourced it affordably.

And let’s talk versatility—this would be perfect in a living room, bedroom, or even as a statement piece in an entryway.

It’s such a clever way to repurpose furniture instead of buying new.

If you try this yourself, Gina recommends using a staple gun with a little extra power to really secure the fabric.
