Oh Kijiji, on a dark winter night you are a dream weaver.
It's January, it's cold, and as you can probably tell I am spending a lot of time on kijiji. I suddenly wanted a chair with a cane back, seat, arms - anything! I saw a stunning chair but it was $1000.00 which is beyond single mom budget.
Then I saw this chair and I knew it would satisfy my urge for a cane chair and thought I could make it work.
It was in my budget range, white and even already distressed. The only issue was the seat cover which was not my style. A few weeks ago in my basement I found a hammock made of strong cotton that had aged beautifully, I liked the colour and wanted to use it with something.
It seems like they would be nice together. So off came the previous seat cover and I discovered a .49 cent paint can opener is perfect for getting off old staples.
With a bit of work I got it all together.
Yowza! I love it.
It works in the small corner of my living room that needed something petite. It's by the window, next to my marble cherub table with a little lamp with crystals and it's all just so french and charming.
I'm so happy with the results.

It turned out beautifully! Besides getting all those staples out, it was no small feat to make sure the stripes were positioned just so! Job well done!
ReplyDeleteOnline looking for sale of chairs to cane and pricing. Have just a straight, fairly open back chair to be caned, as well as the caning. Wondering how to price.
