Fabric Help!

Last Fall I bought this little set at a garage sale. I have been meaning to recover the seats ever since. This isn't the best picture, but the fabric right now is blue and white checked. And yes there are 2 cushions. I'm not sure why the other one didn't make this picture. I already had this pic on my computer and didn't have the energy to take a new one.

I am being really indecisive about which fabric to order. None of the stores here carry anything I like. This is where you all come in: Help me pick a fabric!!! I am also going to make two pillows for a bench that we have sitting on the front porch out of whatever fabric I buy to recover those seats.
A.

B.

C.
D.


E.


Ty wants a little bit of color hence option C, but I don't think it will look good on the bench near our red front door. Alright, help this indecisive blogger out! :)

why not spray paint the iron a diff color (light blue or green) and then do option B or E?... kills two birds with one stone!

:)

The Southern Lady said...

If you want to keep things simple, I say stick with options A or D. There's nothing wrong with understated. But if your hubby wants a little color, why not spray the set (if you don't mind the extra work) and use the lighter fabric?

Personally, I love option A, but that's just me. Have fun with this new project!

Oooh I love C and E.

Trace and Sarah said...

My vote is for A or D - being outdoor I would be ocncerned about stains showing. I agree with Miss Anne or The Southern Lady and paint the iron for color.

Sarah said...

I can't pick the blue because I think it would stain easily... so I pick the last one. Spray painting is also an interesting option to get some color on the set!

I love them all, especially B! I think C could work with your red door depending on what shade of red it is...

MG said...

All of them are great fabric choices. So tough! Good luck making a choice!

Melissa said...

I like B or D!

Brittany Ann said...

B or E...I think those will work and be bold enough but not show too much dirt!

My name is Megan... said...

gosh I love all these! I think the blue may get a bit dirty outside! I think the damask patters would be the bigger contrast or more "popping" :) Can we go garage selling together??

Leslie said...

Love A & D!

Mrs. Dirnberger said...

I like D and E the best...love those prints!

b is for brown said...

love love love a and c!

Mrs. Classic said...

A or B
The darker ones will stay cleaner longer in my opinion.

Rachel H. said...

I like B & C...so many different opinions though! Got to be tough!

Pleasant Drive said...

Hmm, I just love black and white, so they all made my heart melt! I think that I like D. I don't think that I've ever seen that fabric before.

Naturally Caffeinated Family said...

ooh good choices=) i love b, c, or e!

Rachel said...

What a fun project and what pretty choices you have found. B is my favorite!

Lis said...

I love c but I'd be worried about it getting dirty?

I love A a lot!!

Mrs. Nurse said...

I love B,C, & E; however, I am afraid C & E would get dirty so I would go with B :)

The Pink Tutu said...

I vote for A! Love it!

Crystalle said...

I vote for A or D! I think that these patterns are unique compared to B and E, which you see in stores more readily. Plus, these are black so you wouldn't have to worry about them getting as dirty!

smile steady said...

I have to agree with Ty on this one. I'm partial to the blue. And I don't think it would look bad at all beside your red door!

Megan said...

I love B

Saskia said...

I like B the best too!

The blue would look nice with the red door I think, if you did decide to go for colour!

I hope you're having a good week xx

Jill said...

Oh, I missed the vote. I love all the fabrics and can't wait to see your final product.
