fabric

I’m going to start painting and reupholstering this chair I bought a while ago..

I’ve been pottering around on the internet this morning trying to decide what to do with it. I’m drawn to lots of floral fabrics, but I don’t want it to look too fussy. I like the simple, elegant ticking fabrics too, so this is probably what I’m going to go with. I’m thinking green or red fabric with white/cream paint for the chair. The main thing that concerns me about stripes is making sure they don’t look wonky! I’m sure it will be fine..

I think a good rummage around some fabric shops is in order!
