The Pinterest Challenge is a really fun idea that encourages people to stop pinning and actually start doing!
You all know that I love Pinterest, {you can follow my boards here,} but it is so tempting to just fill up your time with looking at all of the amazing things that other people do...
but then what?
So, when I found this challenge I was so excited because I have probably a bagillion, {you heard me,} projects that I have found on Pinterest that I would love to create...but haven't yet.
Especially this little gem:
DIY Vintage Chic turned crates into a coffee table, which I thought was awesome.
But I already have a coffee table. Know what I don't have?
An ottoman.
Know what I did have?
A crate from my crafts store that needed re-purposing.
SO, The Pinterest Challenge got me up off of my bottom and back to the crafts store to get some more crates.
Et voila!
This project was SO quick & SO rewarding! I LOVE LOVE LOVE my new ottoman!

| Crates. |

| Easiest way to get some nails in there. |
 |
| See the nails? |
 |
| Boom. |
 |
| I found this Euro Pillow at Homegoods. {One of the best things about our new house: it's right next to Homegoods. One of the worst things about our new house: it's right next to Homegoods.} |
 |
| The ties on the Euro Sham were a lucky break... I was able to tie them around the crates so that the pillow won't shift around. |
 |
| Boom. |
 |
| Why, hello. Would you like to sit? Would you like some reading material? Right here in my ottoman. Go ahead, put your feet up. |
So, there you have it!
I seriously love my new ottoman.
BIG thanks to The Pinterest Challenge & to DIY Vintage Chic for this awesome idea.
Stay tuned for information about how you can VOTE for my ottoman in the challenge!
Until then.
