Rest Your Feet

Hello, how are you?  Are you tired and need a place to rest your weary feet?

How about a cute little ottoman or stool to rest them on?  I know I have shown different versions of these.  They really are quick and easy to make.

Pick up a sturdy, lonely drawer at a thrift store or Habitat Re-store and add some legs--4x4's are sturdy and work well. I always glue them in place first with wood glue and wait for that to dry. I then flip it over and use three screws for each leg to attach them, screwing from the inside.

I make a top from plywood and use 2x4's on the inside so the lid doesn't slide around.  A little batting and some fabric stapled to the top,

and a handle painted in a fun blue finish up this easy foot rest/ ottoman/ perch/ stool.

Whatever you choose to call it, it is easy to make and something that not only has some storage, but also gives tired feet and legs a break is a plus in my book!
