My husband's aunt just dropped off this neat old chair (apparently it was my husband's great-great-grandmother's telephone chair). I love it, but would like to re-upholster the cushion. I had this fabric laying around and think it works for the chair. My question is... In your opinion, should I do the whole chair (seat cushion, back cushion, chair bottom) with this fabric, or use contrasting fabric for parts of it? Also I have reupholstered only one other thing, so any advice would be welcome! Thanks!
