"little pieces to make a big difference"

Tire Rim Ottoman
I found this oversized tire rim (from a truck or bus) at a junkyard in northern Minnesota.  When I asked the elderly junkyard worker if I could pay him for it to make a piece of furniture out of it, he looked at me like I was crazy, chuckled and said I could have it for free.  So began the brainstorming process and I always liked the idea of an ottoman made from a tire rim.  The top cushion comes off for storage inside the rim where fabric covers the bottom shelf.  The top fabric is excess fabric I purchased at a rummage sale and the bottom fabric is from a curtain.
