I need your imput!

A bit ago, after reading a post from Amber over at

{Silver Lining}

I was so inspired and decided to search my local Craigs List. 

 I wasn't looking for anything specific, just something interesting.  Here is what I found....

I know that it doesnt look that great, my children have told me, but it was SO cheap.  

I really think that there is a lot of potential here.  It is a great size, with wonderful lines, the fabric is just yucky.  No biggie, it just needs new fabric right?  How hard can that be?

 Now I must tell you, I have never recovered anything before, ever.  But this little love seat seemed like the perfect chance to learn how.  I knew that I would need some major help,

so I enlisted the help of Jen, from Tatertots and Jello.  

Her enthusiasm gave me the extra motivation I needed to charge ahead.

So here is my dilema,  I cannot decide what type of fabric to use!?  

Part of me, the conservative side, wants to go a very neutral route.  Safe and simple, something like this from Crate and Barrel.

 

But the other side of me is telling me to do something BOLD and fun, something that I wouldn't risk doing on a piece of furniture that cost more than the small amount of cash in my wallet. 

Something more like this from Anthropologie.

I know, I know, they are opposite ends of the spectrum.  But aren't they both Wonderful?!

The other problem is, that I don't know where in my house the finished product will go. 

{I figure that will be determined after I see how well it turns out}

What do you think?  I would LOVE your imput!
