The footstool I built

This is the footstool I made this morning. I made it so that the top would come off so items can be stored in the base. Its 1 1/2 feet by 2 1/2 feet. I used two 1x4's plus some scraps for the top and bottom. I got the material at a second hand store. I think I would rather have a rusty red or burgundy or blue material so I will keep my eyes open. You can see the colors of the couch at the bottom left side of the last picture. I would like it to go with those colors.

When I make the next footstool for the other room I will take pictures of the process. I was tired this morning and I just wanted to get it done. All in all I am pleased with the way it turned out.
