Having a hard time deciding....
I will be reupholstering this chair, and I can't make up my mind as to what I want it to look like. I keep changing my mind and think, a nice bright white, or maybe a cute pattern. Here are a few ideas that I kind of like, and would like your opinions. This chair will go in a nursery someday, and it will be a neutral room, since I'm not even pregnant yet. Thanks for all of your help. : )
 
Cute brown pattern that could go with any color
Simple color that could go with any color also
Cute orange pattern that could go with pink, brown, blue, etc.
Cute navy blue, that could go with pink, yellow, red...

cheryl o these will all look 80's. You need to bump them up with a bolder colour- lime green print, art deco print, etc. Small herringbone in a bold colour- old and new in one.

crazycatlady Thanks for the advice Cheryl. I need all the help that I can get. I'm not very daring when it comes to bold, cute patterns. I will be paying a lot to have this chair reupholstered, so I am wanting something that will be in style for a while. Thanks for your help. The brown pattern is actually a lot cuter in person. The pattern is bigger, and doesn't look so brown. Who knows what I will do?! : )

cheryl o You should look at mohair- it is super easy to keep clean- wipes down easily, wears exceptionally well, is great for babies as nothing sticks to it, and is totally natural- no scotchguard. It's expensive, but it lasts forever and is comfortable in any temperature, both hot and cold. A bright royal blue, or royal blue seat and green panels and sides would work really well on this. Don't do brown! the wood will look gross.
The chair has a cute look- reminds me of Chairy on PeeWee's Playhouse. Make the most of the shape. You'll appreciate a fun happy chair for those late nights. Trust me on that.
