Well, I did it. I finished the chair. It took me longer to paint and upholster than I thought because of the cold weather and Levi's hospital stay, but I finally finished it tonight. Every time I heard the pop of the staple gun I knew I was that much closer to being done. It's not perfect, there are plenty of "oops" spots on the chair, but I think it looks way better than the poopy-brown colored vinyl that was on there when I got started.
