One Chair: Three Diffent Fabrics

I have a set of 4 wrought iron chairs that I've been hanging onto for a while now.  Found them while thrifting and couldn't pass them up.  They were perfectly worn and had an aged cream but the paint had a nasty yellow undertone that I couldn't get past. I gave them a fresh coat of cream a while back and have been struggling since with what fabric to cover the seats with.  

I used them in my own kitchen for a while when they were covered in the brown and yellow striped fabric.  I later covered them in the rose fabric. Now, the tea-dyed cream fabric.

 

I recently blogged here and here about saving some fabric from a sofa headed to the landfill.  I wanted to give the fabric a tea bath and cover these chairs with it.  I googled how to go about doing this, but as suggested, I didn't stir the fabric so that the tea would evenly coat the fabric.  The fabric now has this blotchy appearance.  Once I recovered the one seat cushion, I knew this was a bad choice.  It looked like the fabric was dirty in spots.  I know this is the outcome of the tea bath, so I'm ok with that , however, I intend to sale these chairs, and to the unsuspected buyer, this may be unattractive. 

Here's my dilemma.
Do I leave the cream fabric the way it is and attach a disclaimer to the sale or do I try something like Lindsay over at Life on the Peanut Trail? 

  Maybe some sort of image on the seat will distract from the blotchy tone of the fabric and make the whole thing look intentional?  Sorta like those vintage postage print images?

Or these lovelies from Michele over at PRIMP?

Or these...
