One of the most versatile pieces of furniture you can have in your home is an ottoman. Nothing comes in more shapes and sizes or more colors and patterns. No matter where you place them, ottomans are always adaptable to the function of the space, and they also happen to be the easiest way to add a touch of fun to the nursery.
The traditional round ottoman can be updated and re-dressed with a pleated skirt. Keep the fabric solid and let the details shine.

A simple, round ottoman covered in a fabulous patterned fabric will add interest to a room. Draw the eye by placing it in the center of a more neutral space to create balance.

An X-bench is a sophisticated update to any room. Traditional in shape, it can be transformed with stripes, detailed patterns or even simple neutrals. The X-bench can also easily transition into more grown-up spaces like the end of the bed, under a console or by a fireplace.

In the nursery, ottomans create additional seating without taking up a lot of space. You can tuck them away, move them to the side or pull them out into the room—they are truly multifunctional.

Thanks. I never thought about how she might react the next time she was faced with the Tooth Fairy or any other icon of imiatngaion. But as long as she wants a visit from the Tooth Fairy, he’s happy to oblige.

It’s much easier to understand when you put it that way!
