Decisions Decisions!!

I went fabric hunting again yesterday and found some fabrics that are very good possibilities for ending up on our dining room chairs, finally!  I felt like I was never going to come across anything.  At first, I was thinking I would do solid white on the seat and back, then a pattern on the very back, that way the chairs would remain neutral and it would pop against the dark cherry stain we're doing.  The more I thought about it though and the more I searched, I wouldn't be able to find a durable enough white fabric that would resist stains well.  So then I started searching for ideas and found some chairs similar to mine with different patterns to help give me an idea of what a patterned fabric might look like if it were on the seats and backs.  Here are the fabrics I found that I may use that I took pictures of.  Please let me know what you think!

Here's another picture of the chairs with the current stain, we're thinking of going darker.

This is my favorite (I think) and the one my husband liked the best.  I saw a similar print in pink in the latest Coastal Living magazine on chairs that looked that just mine but with a white finish.  These colors should blend well with the colors in my living room which is adjoined to the dining space, but still give the dining space it's own identity.  I may add other colors to compliment this as well with the place settings and table decor.

This is the fabric I was thinking of using on the chairs with the one above.  I'm not sure if I would use it on the seats or the back, or the very back. Ugh, decisions.  What I like about this fabric is that it feels durable and the fabric is neutral but won't show dirt.

The two above fabrics together.

I also liked this, maybe not for the chairs but with another project?

This was another option that I liked for the chairs, to go with the tan fabric above.  My husband did not approve though.

I just liked this pretty pink fabric and decided to take a picture.

I love his fabric and pattern.   I don't know how I feel about it being on my chairs but I would definitely consider pillows in them.  In fact, it is featured in a previous blog post of mine shown as pillows.  

This was a very pretty white fabric.   This would not stay this pretty for long though.

And here is the tan fabric but in a different shade.  This might work with the chairs better?
