Hey guys this week I got to do a project for my basement I never thought I would be able to do. That is making a large round ottoman for my basement. I ended up designing this ottoman out to have storage to store the bedding for the pull out bed in the couch. I never thought I'd be able to make this ottoman because of the couch in my basement. The couch came with a chase and the chase really effected the layout of the room and limited what I could put in the middle of the room. After doing some research I was able to order a plain end seat cushion for my couch and get rid of the chase. This not only opened up the room but it opened up the possibility of what I could put in the middle of the room. And finally I got to build the large round ottoman I've been picturing in this space this whole time. I hope you guys liked this project and thanks so much for watching!!!

Wow! This is an incredible piece! Love how it ties everything together. Thanks for sharing your talent with us.

[@MaileyElaine]

Thank you so much! 🥰🥰🥰 so glad you like it!

I prefer an ottoman to a coffee table. I like having my feet up. Very creative project. Spectacular job matching the pattern. Love the storage, too. My ottoman my sister and her husband made for me 30 years ago. It's a rectangular box with feet. (Padded of course.) It's been recovered several times as it gets dirty or the decor changes.

[@MaileyElaine]

Me too especially because I always design out spaces with other tables to set things on. And that ottoman sounds well loved but I love that you can refinish it. I plan on doing that with my ottomans at some point. You know my cats just love to scratch them up! haha 😂

[@catherineobrolchain4911]

You are a natural teacher and the ottoman is wonderful.

[@MaileyElaine]

Oh thank you so much! So glad you like the ottoman

[@alexandra_sa_lazer]

This turned out so gorgeous. Looks professional. I love the visual detail on the top! Takes it up a notch!

[@MaileyElaine]

Oh thank you so much and thanks for watching!! 🥰

[@joyceterra2265]

That turned out fabulous. You are such a talented lady. It really pulled the couch and the carpet together and giving it added style. ❤❤❤

[@MaileyElaine]

Oh thank you so much! I thought so as well so glad I went with that fabric! 🥰🥰🥰

[@mrwii5741]

Wow your looking as beautiful as always Mailey! You’re not afraid to break a nail and use those tools either! You made an amazing sofa chair it looks very well done! ☺️ keep up the great work with your videos! You’re one of the most beautiful DIY People around! 😊

[@MaileyElaine]

Thank u!

[@mrwii5741]

@@MaileyElaine your welcome! 😊

[@rebecarendell]

As always, a great job! A quick tip regarding the piping / cording; you don't actually need a very large piece of fabric to make bias binding, it can be done with scraps if you know the right way to do it. Look up some tutorials on here, and you may be pleasantly surprised 😊

[@MaileyElaine]

Thanks so much! and I've made cording that way a lot but I really don't like all the seams using the scrap or pieces that are long enough to cover the whole perimiter if that makes sense. I just like the clean look of one long straight piece. 🥰 Thanks for watching!!!

[@ericaeschenbacher4921]

I love how you envision your space to include form function and customized beauty ( those wabi sabi misaligned plaids are 🔥). I too hoped to find an affordable large round storage ottoman, but ended up thrifting a crazy assortment for my similar sectional, with a 3' metal drum coffee table, a 30" round tray table that nestles over the drum a little and 24" round footstool in TV command position. A copper garden stool and round crochet floor poof complete my versatile bubblescape arrangement. I'll be referring back to this DIY for an upcoming lv room renovation. Thanks!😻

[@MaileyElaine]

Thank you so much! I like the misaligned plaid it’s way more interesting. And that sounds like an amazing assortment. I love a good thrifted assortment that comes together so beautifully.

[@donnatitmus4574]

Love it. Maybe castors for easy movement ❤❤

[@MaileyElaine]

Oh that's a good idea... maybe I had built it a little shorter. My husband and I can pretty easily move though when we have to which isn't too often.

[@kerrydutton9019]

Hi Mailey use a peice of wool tie the wool to the middle screw measure the wool to the Size you want and tie a pencil to the other end of the wool and use a firm pull to the pencil and go around the wood❤🎉

[@MaileyElaine]

I tried that with the last round ottoman I made and it didn't go the best haha! But the measuring tape thing really worked nicely!

[@anastasiarn7781]

I always wondered how to do piping! Thank you.

[@MaileyElaine]

Of course glad I could help! 🥰

[@lshimon4]

I would never have thought to do a circle that way. Clever

[@MaileyElaine]

Tip and tricks from doing too many DIYS! haha 😂

[@cantocant2346]

Such a professional job!

[@MaileyElaine]

Thank you so much! 🥰🥰

[@RachelCowan-pm9xo]

Awesome job!!! I love all your ottomans and you do such a great tutorial that it’s so easy to follow to make them ourselves!

[@MaileyElaine]

Thank you so much so glad you like it!! 🥰

[@barbaraehrensberger8186]

You certainly should be very proud of your job. The ottoman looks perfectly professionally made. 😍 👍👍👍👍👍

[@MaileyElaine]

Thank you so much and thanks for watching!! 🥰

[@crystal2988]

Makes me want to make one. I have nowhere to put it but I want to make one real bad.😂

[@MaileyElaine]

Haha you should make it and try to sell it! They are super fun to make so I highly recommend this project! 🥰

[@ghoulgoil5029]

You still have room for the chaise if you ever want to bring it back. It looks great.

[@MaileyElaine]

I think I would just have to put the ottoman out more in the middle of the room and it's a tighter fit then it might look the video. I used a small side table as a coffee table while we had the chase. But I loved the chase for sitting it was super cozy. 🥰🥰🥰

[@karencurtis880]

💚 thank you for this.

[@MaileyElaine]

Of course!

[@kenn1936]

I LOVE IT!!!!!!! Well done you!!! Absolutely professional job. Are you kitty sitting? where did new kitty come from? is he a neighbourhood visitor??

[@MaileyElaine]

Thank you so much and nope I'm a crazy cat lady and got a 3rd cat. I adopted him about a month ago. It's a slow process getting all the cats to like each other so he's been in my room a lot.

[@louisetaillefer9421]

[@DitaRean]

This is so good! Wow!

[@MaileyElaine]

Thank you so much! 🥰

[@angelaa5313]

Hi Mailey! Another great DIY! But it looks so professional, as per usual😊 ("ottoman empire" 🤣) Have a great day / night!

[@MaileyElaine]

Haha at least one person laughed at my stupid joke! 😂 and thanks so much!

[@beachysands4036]

I absolutely love it. You made it seem so attainable even though my sewing skills are pretty rudimentary. Do you recall where your sofa came from?

[@MaileyElaine]

Oh you could definitely do the no sew version! working with fabric will help with your sewing because you'll see how moves and puckers and all that stuff. and my sofa came from Room to Go.

[@eleanor8633]

Really want to make this but my jigsaw goes all over the gaff😅Your circles look so neat!

[@MaileyElaine]

I had such an old jigsaw a few years ago and made such wonky cuts. But my corded jigsaw wasn’t too much definitely work it! :)

[@lshimon4]

I want a chair with this fabric

[@MaileyElaine]

oh that would be pretty!

[@ameliehudini9414]

I LOVED the Ottoman Empire joke! But maybe I just appreciate dadjokes more after becoming a mom...

[@MaileyElaine]

Haha yes!!!! I am the Ottoman Empire 😂 So glad you liked my joke!

[@PL4NETc4ts]

stop i thought you said baddie 8:40

[@MaileyElaine]

Haha gotta enunciate those T's better! 😂

[@CraftyLifeMom]

Love your couch.. a you share where it is from?

[@MaileyElaine]

Thank you so much it's from Rooms-to-Go

[@Lilliana095]

How much did the materials cost to build this?

[@MaileyElaine]

I haven't added up the the exact amount. but it was roughly around $270 and that minus the fabric since I didn't spend money on it.
