Ch... Ch... Ch... Changes Are Going On! Please Vote.

I've spent the last week trying to decide what material I want to recover Mr. Snooty's grandmother's club chair with. It's a dilemma because it's one heavy son-of-a-gun but also a solid piece of well made furniture. Now, having a chair recovered costs almost as much as buying a new piece, but I'm totally into the whole *re-purposing* thing. I basically consider it an investment.


So, since this is going to be a major expense, I want to be sure that I choose a fabric that I'll still love *on down the road*, right? I'm hoping that you decorator wannabes can help me out here, because I'm having trouble deciding. Go. Figure. From what I've assessed, the cost could be anywhere from $350.00 to $1,000.00, depending on the fabric. Sadly, I seem to have expensive tastes.


The paisley fabric is the same as the sofa I bought from my friend's mother's estate sale, so I'm trying to coordinate the club chair with the sofa. Anyhoo, here are the choices I'm considering:

#1
#4

#2 So, what do you think? I love all of the combinations & just can't decide what to do.


#3


Then, I bought a red microfiber chair and ottoman from a consignment shop for $40.00 as a *stand in* while the club chair is off being updated.




Once the club chair from the den is back from being reupholstered, I'll move the new chair and ottoman to the living room while the peach colored (living room) chair goes off to be re-covered. Like I've said before, this house is a work in progress...

Anyway, I'd love to get some votes or feedback of any kind on the color choices for the club chair. I have such a difficult time deciding on ANYTHING!I need HELP!
