I came across this simple DIY ottoman a while ago.
I like it.
It is simple and inexpensive to create.
I was at Ikea the other day and I fell in love with their striped outdoor cushions.
I immediately thought about the DIY ottoman.
And since the cushions are outdoor, maybe an outdoor DIY ottoman?
If I had an outdoor space larger than 6′ x 3′ than I would definitely make it.
Someone else do this please!
Ikea also has some great outdoor lighting.
These chic pendants are solar powered.
So are these adorable lamps.
They would give the perfect glow on a beautiful summer night!
Happy Weekend.

Okay, might have to make the ottoman for our back porch. The blue and white is perfect to match our other cushions! Loving the lighting too.

Those Ikea cushions are great. I’m loving this idea. I so want to redo my outdoor patio. It’s a complete disaster.

Oh wow, I am loving that idea for that ottoman! And the best part is, is that it’s so versatile! Take the pillows off, lay them on the floor – amazing! I just checked and Urban Outfitters has similar cushions in a bunch of colours. Hmmm, I may just take this project on…
Hyphen Interiors says
Great idea! I may have to consider that!

I really love the size of the welting on those cushions. I have existing box cushions I am getting ready to recover, and I was thinking of doing huge piping like that. Have you ever made those before? Is it simply really large piping, or is there more to it? I’m having trouble finding anyone online who can tell me some of these details, so when I find a post like this, I ask. Thanks!
