Chair Restyle In Progress

I really needed a couple of occassional chairs for my living room and was so excited to fing the following pair at a Sleepy Poet in Charlotte.  It is a great place to find inexpensive furniture and accessories.  Anyway, I was on a major budget and saw these chairs for about $30 each.  I loved the lines and love the idea of using different styles in the same room:

As a side note, after I bought the chairs I discovered that Candice Olson refurbished the same style chair in one of her recent episodes of her new show Candice Tells All.  I LOVED they way they turned out.  You could tell the quality of the upholstery was very good.  I am hoping to make the same improvement with mine.  Here are her chairs:

My first idea was to paint them a dark charcoal gray and cover them in this fabric from Calico Corners called Stockholm in Sungold:

However, I was so inspired by the latest issue of House Beautiful, "The Power of Pink" issue (especially Ruthie Sommer's home...you gotta check it out...when I win the lottery I want her to design my house) so I changed my mind and, even though I love the yellow and still want to use it somewhere, I decided to use pinks and turquoises in the room.  (I'll show you the room when I am done).  So I am still going to paint the chairs charcoal gray and I am going to use this fabric (also from Calico Corners) called Shalina in Ivory/Raspberry.  Looks much better in person:

And I am going to cover the backs in Chanda Stripe in Multi and maybe use it for the cording as well.  I just have to be careful not to make is too cutesy:

I'll be sure to post the final product along with more projects from my Living Room.  Hopefully, I won't change my mind again or I am going to go broke buying fabric!

Happy Birthday Mom and Happy Valentine's Day to you all!!!!!!
