I have recovered this ottoman twice now! I love the large size of this ottoman and the fact I can use it as a footstool, extra seating, or add a tray for a coffee table. So instead of replacing it with a new style, I would rather just recover it. For this DIY project, I added new, fresh fabric and exchange its outdated wide, round feet for squared, tapered feet with mid-century, modern style. Also, this fabric is very versatile. If you saw the canvas art I shared last month, this is the same fabric! Scroll down to see how to recover your ottoman with new fabric and furniture legs.
