Is this too complicated to reupholster for a beginner with sewing knowledge? 1930s Art Deco Couch

Picked it up from a guy who said it was his great grandfather's in New York and then had it shipped to Seattle, then it lived out most of its life in his shop. It’s very very used and the cushion has been reupholstered. It’s got a great shape but its not the most comfortable couch due to the straight back and the broken springs. The sides filled with cotton batting and the green cushion is made with jute, cotton batting, and iron springs. I am a bit worried about how annoying it would be to remove all of the little nails.

Willing to invest some time and keep it low cost is a must. I would really like to keep the green color if I eventually reupholster it so any fabric recommendations would be super helpful.

Is this achievable with a revision?

Anyone know if this is an achievable reduction amount of the areola? I am definitely looking into it if it stays this ovular shape between now and the next 2 months (3-4 month is when I can look at a revision). At least if they are a little smaller I can get them tattooed a little more evenly.
