Why I've been quiet about this for the moment: the painting hasn't gone well.
1. I live in a country where the winters are long and it never stops raining. Some days it's been too cold to paint and I can't paint indoors because of the fumes.
2. I thought spraying wood would be like spraying metal. It's not, wood bleed is a thing.
3. I was not happy with the direction things were going, so I decided to start over with the paint.
4. I should have done more research and prep.
5. I was rushing.So I took some time, watched some furniture tutorials and researched what to use. Bought some Zinsser cover stain primer and a tin of matt black Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch and I've started again traditionally.

Got a mask, weathers decent and now I can finally start doing the more difficult stuff.
I sanded the paint off the aluminium legs, applied paint stripper on the wooden base (not pictured) and used spray adhesive on the foam insert.
Getting close to painting (finally).

Test fit of fabric lid supports. Was going to use a gas strut support I got but it's too big so went back to a fabric solution. It's a bit rough at the moment, but I'm going to redo it once I've sanded/painted it.

Went to B&Q, got some MDF cut to size and now the footstool has a new lid. Entering Ship of Theseus territory here.
Just need the constant rain showers to stop here so I can sand and paint it.

I was not happy with the quality existing legs on the stool, so I made the decision to order some new ones. Problem is that most of the stool legs I could find were over 40mm in diameter which would of meant they would of stuck out from the base. Fortunally I found a seller on Aliexpress that was selling these 38mm diameter aluminum legs. Very happy with these, although I may see about swapping the plastic feet for something wooden to tie it together.

Also did a test fit today of the pillow filling. Needed some additional tape on the foam but it works nicely.

I spent 5 minutes on this very quick mockup.

After much thought the plan is to use Aesthetic Set 22 as the fabric design and make everything else matt black. Will work on this as time and money allows.

In other news, looking at the performance linen on Spoonflower to replace the old fabric.
