What the week holds: Recovering the ottoman, and changing up the den

We have this cube of an ottoman that Hubby bought at Target back in 2005 - cheap pleather.

 

 Rather than toss it, I covered it with leftover fabric about 6 years ago from having the couch in the front room reupholstered.

I loved the color - a warm rusty red.  I didn't have enough fabric at the time, so I added that band of printed fabric at the bottom.  Pretty!  But it wasn't a removeable cover so after a couple of years it was showing it's age...

So I found this pretty floral and did the rusty red along the bottom.

I really loved that fabric and it was not cheap!  But it was due for a change and one day recently while walking along in Hob Lob I found:

 

Those colors!  And the fabric was half price!

I had enough fabric this time to skip that band along the bottom. I sewed it a little differently, but it came together in a snap. 

I just recycled my upholstery tacks, too.

This room looks empty without a rug or more furniture, so I'm thinking about adding in a few things here and there. Even so, I love the open living space.  I want to add a lamp at either end of the sofa, and we've talked about painting that coffee table and rocking chair.  Whatcha think?  Got any suggestions for me?
