An ottoman is a piece of furniture without arms or a back usually used as a foot rest. Also called a hassock, footstool, tuffet or a pouffe.

When "...little Miss Muffet sat on her tuffet..." she was sitting on an ottoman!

(besides sitting on it to eat curds and whey!)

• store photos (make sure you have them archived in a photo organizer not a shoe box!)


• tax receipts and household records, especially if you do not have a home office.


• toy box for when the grand kids come to visit - parents you could use this idea too!

I use a storage ottoman to hold my candles. I love using candles, so I buy them in bulk. Tea lights, tapers, and pillars are all stored neatly away and at the ready!
