Thank You 6th Street: Ottoman Love

December 7, 2010 by Courtney 27 Comments

I have to gush and thank Kirsten from 6th Street Design School. Did you see her post about this?                                      It looks an awful like the Ballard storage bench: Amelia Storage Bench                                         {amelia storage bench $399-$591 from ballard designs} The one Kirsten posted about is from K-Mart for only $99.  it is part of their Country Living line. Having just experienced stitches on my two year old, we vowed to ditch the lifelong dream of a beautiful, wood coffee table or trunk. So I immediately perked up and thought, “I want that!” I literally went to the website and pushed “add to cart.” So not like me, and yet so glad I did. I have never purchased anything from K-Mart, but let me tell you . . . . I love this beauty. It arrived today and it’s great. I plan to paint the little bun feet dark, but other than that, it is exactly what we needed. And with a two and four year old cruisin’ around the place, the price point of $99 was super attractive. Here she is:   IMG_8484IMG_8485IMG_8487IMG_8489IMG_8497                     So after some dark stain or paint on the feet, it will be perfect. Who knew K-Mart had such cute things????

    I saw Kirsten's post and couldn't believe it! I so want one!! Is your #2 pillow from PB? We have all four (1-4) in our Master Bedroom. One for each of us. I also have their numbered napkins!

    It's fabulous! Love seeing your tree in the background. All the K-marts closed around here but I think they have one in LA by my sister n law….
    OK wait, I don't need anything else right now…I'll just look at yours 🙂

    Courtney, that is such a steal. I love the nailhead trim. We have a huge ottoman coffee table for that same reason….the little ones. The storage in yours is just great!

    I don't even know where a Kmart is? Now that I know they have such nice things I might have to check it out. We've been through staples and stitches a couple of times. Neer fun.

    It looks like it was meant for your living room! Perfect size, the fabric looks really nice and of course I love the nailhead trim! Might need to consider that for the end of our bed! Super cute pillows on the couch too!

    Hey, I have that green trellis pillow!! I love those pillows. They look so cute in your living room. I don't think I had seen your living room before. I love the storage bench in there too. Looks great!

    That looks beautiful in your living room. It's perfect! I've been looking for something like that for the foot of our bed. I never have checked out KMart. Sorry about your two year old needing stitches. This was a good choice for a table. Your tree is gorgeous all decorated, Courtney! Where did you find your gree trellis pillow?

    I agree, it looks fabulous in your home. And my first thought was "Oh Id definitely be painting those feet darker." Guess you beat me to the thought:) Love it!
    I just got a faux leather ottoman from Walmart that the top turns over into two trays. Very functional adn I love it in our living room. This one looks much more classy though:)

    Nothing is better than a great deal on something great! (c: And at the kmart price, you don't have to freak out about the kiddos being around it! Although, if I'm being honest, I probably still would…(c:

    Really cute. How do you think the fabric will hold up to tiny hands?

    Thanks for all of the nice comments about my bench! It's linen and I plan to scotch guard it tomorrow! The kiddos are in the habit of washing their hands after eating or drinking anything so I am going to keep that up! Fingers crossed.
