Seeing Stripes

One of my favorite designers is Sarah Richardson. Ever since I watched the episode Boho Chic Girls Rooms in Sarah 101: Season 1, I have wanted a channel back chair upholstered in horizontal stripes. Isn't it lovely?? I dreamed of putting it in my oldest daughter's bedroom.



So, I scoured my local Craigslist to no avail. Then, about a year ago, I found this beauty at a local antique store for $75. I know most great design bloggers can score great furniture pieces for $20 or less, but I never seem to have that luck nor do I have the patience to keep the search alive for something cheaper once I've stumbled upon a suitable find.

So this beauty came home with me, and then it sat in my garage (head hanging in shame). I always have such great ideas for projects, but either time or money always seem to thwart my best laid plans. Anyway, I have decided that in the next two months I will purchase some fabric and take this chair to get reupholstered!

This is where I need some help. I've come up with a few options for striped fabric, but I'm not quite sure which fabric would be best. Here are the fabrics I have found thus far and like as possible options:

1. Waverly Valentina Stripe Spring



2. Tempo Indoor/Outdoor Carnival Stripe Red Green



3. Sunbrella Steeplechase Malibu


4. Deck Chair Stripe Beach Glass



5. Deck Chair Stripe Algae



6. Sunbrella Dolce Mango


These are the six choices I like, and just so you have an idea of where this newly upholstered chair will reside, here are a few photos of my oldest daughter's bedroom. The chair will be placed under the window to the left of her dresser. The lime green pouf will be used as an ottoman in front of the chair.

I hope someone can help me with this decision, and as soon as it comes back from being reupholstered, I will post pictures of my beautiful channel back in its new room!
