Can this chair be saved?

In the true spirit of taking on way too many projects at a time, I've added another.

Re-covering my favorite chair.


Currently it is:
1. country inspired
2. a little worse for the wear
3. green gingham (blah)
4. boring


I want it to:
1. be FUN
2. look fresh & clean
3. bring a little mod touch to the den

So I need your help. See all these great upholstered/recovered chairs?


What can I do to make my chair look like these?




I am sensing a pattern that I am drawn to the bigger/modern/graphic prints...

but can my chair be saved?
