My first attempt

I picked up this fancy of a old chair, HEHEHE! Can you say HIDEOUS????  I mean really this thing I think came across the plains with my ancestors, but I love it and think it has good "bones" as fancy designers say!

But I need your help.  Should I do a large stripe pattern or a floral print?  And not like floral like old lady floral like a modern print, ya know!!  Leave your input. I am dying to get started on this. In fact I have already take the fabric off and am itching because of all of the dust.
