Free Chair

So last week I got a phone call from a friend in town. She recently purchased some new bedroom furniture and didn't have room for the chair anymore. She thought of me and I gladly accepted this chair:

As you can see the chair is a dusty rose velvet. She was just going to take it to the thrift store, but we removed the middle man (aka thrift store) and I took it. It's in great shape, rocks and swivels. Now the real challenge comes...RECOVERING.

I've started some research at apartmenttherapy. What do you think? I'm not sure where I'm going to put it or what pattern of fabric I'll use. I think I'm going to try to enlist my grandma as she used to upholster furniture with a friend - I know you're reading this Aggie... when are you coming to help?? :)

I can't wait to post the recovered chair!
