MILO BAUGHMAN-STYLE PARSONS CHAIRS

First of all, thank you all for the warm welcome on Monday.

 I've noted all the cities you suggested and I'll be sure to do all of them in the following weeks.

So,

 I scored a pair of Milo Baughman-style parsons chairs a couple of months ago and I'm having a hard time committing to a fabric to recover them with.

Option 1, Leopard.

We all know Ally of "From the Right Bank" is the queen of parsons chairs.

She has this gorgeous velvet leopard pair...

and another pair recovered in a fun chinoiserie fabric...

which leads me to option 2, fun patterned fabric.

or

Option 3, plain velvet...

(contrasting piping is not a bad idea either.)

Decisions, decisions!  

And to give you a better perspective, they are going in the living room...

(I'm not committed to any of the pillows so those can be changed)

which is right next to the dining room...

Gah!  Help!
