To Paint or Not To Paint??

I have this glider that I got for free, thank you Kennedy family, that is perfect for my living room!

The Glider

I already have it set up in there, however I do not like love the fabric.



It doesn't go with my colors or flower patterned couch (also for FREE from my aunt's in-laws).

Other chair in the room


So, my options...recover it have a friend recover it, live with it or paint it! Yep, you heard me right...paint it! Now I NEVER would have thought to paint fabric until I read Hyphen Interiors post Painted Upholstery: The Process Revealed (Full Tutorial). Kristy over at Hyphen Interiors painted a wing back chair and it looks FABULOUS!!

If I paint it, I need to decide what color. If I were to recover it I would probably go with a brown or tan...maybe red. But painting it I feel needs to be bold or dark to cover the pattern. Either decision needs to be done on a budget. 

What do you think? Would you be brave enough to paint a chair? What color would you do?
