my ottoman empire

i found a pair of these fun little ottomans at the flea market: $50 bucks for the pair. but, i was not too psyched about their purple and tan stripe fabric with the maroon painted frame.  so, i took them to my local upholsterer (upholstery is beyond my DIY scope)...

and this is the end result.
i love how they came out! what do you think?

with the cost of the ottomans, fabric, upholstery labor and repainting, the final cost worked out to be about $180 per ottoman.  not a bargain but i am super pleased with the end result!
