So what do I not like... The fabric. I wanted to use the velvety red over the whole thing, but I didn't have enough fabric. I thought the cream looked nice when I was picking out fabric from what I already had at home, but once it was on I'm not so crazy about it. Oh well. I'll probably recover it in a couple years anyway. I would say it's not bad for the first piece of furniture I made completely. It measures 36 inches by 36 inches, and it's super sturdy and comfortable.... and since I'm not crazy about the fabric I won't be as irritated when I catch the cat using it as a scratch post.

I like the feet the best. The buttons are cool, too. Ten easy steps if you are a GENIUS. Sheesh.

Wow, that turned out great! Very well done. I have a project in mind that I would love your help with. Next time you come over, I'll see if you have any ideas.
