THE OFFICE CHAIR SAGA

Confession: I am still being indecisive in regards to what fabric to buy for our office chairs.  Part of the hold up is the fact that one of my favorites is $30 a yard, and to reupholster two chairs, it adds up quick.  So, in my search to find something a little less expensive, I've come across a few other options (unfortunately, not all of which are any cheaper).

If you remember, this is the current, ugly, nasty, all kinds of wrong chair that needs a makeover:

And these were my top three contenders for fabric choices (in no specific order):

#1) Braemore Gorgeous Pearl - $30.10

#2) Richloom Chicks Jacquard Chenille Onyx - $15.18

#3) Braemore Gazebo Umber - $21.45

And here are some new contenders that have entered the picture:

#4) Braemore Sakura White Tea - $28.98
I love how soft the colors and patterns in this fabric are.  Before I'd feel comfortable buying it however, I'd definitely order a sample because I'm afraid the gray/beige may be too matchy matchy with our walls.

#5) P. Kaufmann Flower Bed Twill Kiwi - $17.98

Again, I love the soft pattern and the colors.

#6) P. Kaufmann Flower Bed Twill Raspberry - $17.98

Really pretty, and the colors are so fun.  It may be a little too feminine, meaning I probably wouldn't be allowed to ever use it anywhere else in the house.  But it is gorgeous fabric, and I love how the color pops against our walls.

#7) P. Kaufmann George Leaf - $17.98
Believe it or not, I really like this one.  I have a yellow scheme currently going in the office (however I'm not afraid to change that if need be).  But yeah, I'm really diggin this fabric.

#8) P. Kaufmann George Teal - $17.98
I think the fabric is slightly darker than how it appears here.  This one is definitely a strong contender too (you all know I love my blue).

#9) Waverly April in Paris Watermelon - $8.98
Hello price tag!  Aside from the killer price, I love the pops of pink and green, complemented by the sketchy quality of the black and white.  However, I saw someone that used this fabric to make a pillow (see below), and in that picture, I think it looked a little childish/grandma-ish?  Perhaps it's just the fringe around the edges.

#10) Waverly Pen Pal Blackbird - $15.98

I've always been rather keen on script fabric, and I really like this one.  I'd have to figure out something different with the legs, because that's just too much black.  

So, once again...what do you guys all think?  Help a sista out, would ya?
