THE OTTOMAN

 


There's a damn good chance we will be living in a veritable sauna today.  Add today's sunshine to the rain we had last night = sauna.

Oh yaa.

Our new ottoman... was bought as extra seating, and for storage.  I never even gave it a thought that I could use it as a foot stool, until it arrived here in the house!

Seems most other people thought I had bought it as a foot stool.  LOL.  Obviously now I will be using it for that as well.

I might go out today to look at castors.  I am sure you can get ones that have a 'brake' on them, to stop the furniture from sliding away from you.  

ABOVE:  I already looked online... and there's dozens to choose from!  I just need to narrow it down to the size I need.  There's plenty with brakes too.

After I finished the Black and White Square Table Topper on Friday, I made a start on another one.

I got it finished last night.

ABOVE: This is one of the very few S.T.T. Braid Runners I have made, not using black as the accent.

First one using navy blue in fact.   It's different.  I'm not sure I'm sold on it.  And I love Blue!  But it is nice, for someone else.  lol

Because we have had a few very busy days, with quite a bit of stress involved, I'm taking it easy today.

If I do NOTHING, so be it.


1.44 pm:  Well clearly I've been 'busy'... NOT!
I have literally done nothing much all day.  The usual housework.  Laid out a new S.T.T.  I might start that one tomorrow.
I went to The Base and bought some sushi for my lunch.
Ate it.
Lay down and had a nap.
Well, I tried to have a nap, but it didn't happen.
Pffffft.

Now?  I am going to work on my jig saw.

ABOVE:  Many hours later, and I have made a small dent in it.
And I can hardly see past my nose without everything blurring!
Time to stop for the day.

I made us Teriyaki chicken over rice for our dinner.  Now we are watching stupid TV till bedtime.

  3. You are going to laugh at me big time. As I was scrolling down your post and got a glimpse of the caster, I for a second thought it was a scotch tape dispenser! Now, that's a hoot!

    I LOVE the new chair and ottoman!!!! The colors are just gorgeous. I have a sister that decorates her home in that "Boho" style, and I really want to also because it's so full of a cheerful mood vibe. But my husband won't let me.

    ot·to·man
    /ˈädəm(ə)n/
    noun
    1.
    a low upholstered seat, or footstool, without a back or arms that typically serves also as a box, with the seat hinged to form a lid.

    I find this very amusing! I think an ottoman IS a footstool. I did not know about the "hinged lid" defining an ottoman. And you are familiar with the opposite.
    It reminds me of a friend of mine that told me to look for something "on the commode". I was like.... Why on earth would you keep it on the TOILET? Again. We had different ideas of what a commode is!

    commode
    noun
    com·​mode kə-ˈmōd
    Synonyms of commode
    1
    a
    : a low chest of drawers
    b

    What happens to the jigsaw if you get a sudden house viewing request? So you shove it under the bed ?
