For those of you that have followed me and my grandmothers vintage furniture, I have narrowed down some color options. It is my hope to go ahead and move forward this month with my choice in fabric. I went from patters to solids, and now is colors?

Hey girl - are you planning on keeping the wood as-is? What finish you are planning for the legs and all that beautiful wood-work would definitely help us vote for a fabric...although I am partial to that lovely cushy linen (#5 i think)...yum!
I love the idea of a stripe. It would definitely make a statement. I also love the fabric and frame finish in the first image - great looking piece!
I love the photos with the gray treated wood frames but you mentioned before not changing that.
If the wood is dark, I'd go with a lighter fabric to offset it. If you can, pick a fabric that has some stain protection in it.
i really like the look of the linen...but i've seen it done in...i think a velvet or brushed cotton that looks sooooo beautiful. i have a couple of photos - i'll send 'em to you so you have more ideas?
i love the classic look of the velvet. but i also love a soft velvet-like fabric on a sofa in that style. i can feel your pain, that's a hard decision because once it's done, it's done!
good luck
I know ivory can be scary, but I instantly saw an ivory (with stainguard protection of course) to highlight the gorgeous wood detail.
Otherwise, a soft pale grey velvet perhaps?
ohhhh goodness, i need a striped chair!
