Custom Ottoman Design

There are many beautiful coffee tables to choose from, but to maintain the intimate feel of the room I've decided that a pair of small ottomans will be a better fit in front of the sofa. Rather than using off-the-shelf ottomans, many of which are only available in solid colors (and usually in leather), I'm planning to have a pair made. That will give me a chance to introduce some pattern and color, and to do something interesting with nail head trim. I found a wonderful fabric with an embroidered geometric pattern by Robert Allen, and I'll use antique brass nail heads to accentuate the ottoman's tapered profile and to create a simple motif along the bottom edge.
