If you follow my instagram account, then you might have seen this beautiful cane chair that I picked up at Good Will for $10 last week (excuse the iPhone picture..read more about the mirror here):
I was so happy when I found this. I have been looking for a cane chair just like this for well over a year now. Last summer, I saw one at the flea market but they were asking $90. My best friend Laura major low balled for me and we basically got kicked out of the booth. Good times.
But, I'm glad I held out because this one is gorgeous, in great condition, and a great price! Ideally though, I'll be able to find a partner for her, and a great reupholstery fabric.
I might leave the wood natural though...just touch it up a bit...is that crazy?:
Do you think this is an upholstery job I can tackle on my own? I am an upholstery virgin, keep in mind.My girl's Hannah and Elizabeth were able to do some amazing cane chair makeovers! Check them out.

Awesome find! Can't wait to see what you do with it :)
ReplyDeleteI say leave it unpainted for sure! I picked up a pair for a good price a while back, and I absolutely love them. I can't wait to see what you do with them!

$10?!! Amazing! It's beautiful. There's an upholstery workshop near my house called Re:Style Studio, check them out: http://www.restylestudiotoronto.com
ReplyDeleteLove cane chairs. Why don't I ever find anything this good at my Goodwill? :)
ReplyDelete$10! OMG What a deal!
ReplyDeleteGood work my dear!! And a big fat YES - if I can reupholster that chair, you can too. I have no doubt. :)
ReplyDeleteTotally awesome and I think you should just give it a try. If it doesn't work out then you can still hire someone to do the upholstery ;)
