beware the chair

Alice the chair, she’s pink…remember her?

If not, I got her from Old Town Antiques for 35 bucks. She’s comfy, sturdy, but again pink. Not that I have anything against pink, but I have no flamingo’s in our décor and she’d be much better off with a slipcover.

But to cover her in? That is the question of the day. I have a few ideas via Pinterest, but I’d love some thoughts…suggestions. I’m looking for something modern (which is perhaps an oxymoron since it will go over an “old lady” chair). It needs to hide stains from the baking hubby, coffee spilling wife, and a dirt loving-black-and-white-shedding-husky. Whoops, looks like my only options are industrial steel or gunmetal…but no, it really needs to be something I can take off and wash, so none of that high maintenance fabric stuff.

Here’s the stuff I’ve liked thus far:

1. Big fat stripes, or small vertical stripes

                   

2.  Something of the linen variety

even borrowing and idea from these outfits, and thinking a grey linen with a navy pillow, or a neutral linen with a caramel and white pillow.

 

3. A pattern or print

4. Black or white

 

Any thoughts??
