Cane Chair

Alright, so you know I couldn't go home empty handed while out this weekend, that would be sooooo not me!  Here is what I snagged!  I got it from For the Love of Jesus Thrift on Midlothian Turnpike and you will not believe the price!  It was marked at $25.00 but I asked really nicely and they gave it to me for $20.00!!!!  I've seen a lot of these chair make-overs out in the blogosphere so I could not pass up this steal!  I think my sister is going to buy it from me for her new apartment since she is moving down to Richmond from NYC (YAY!!!)


 
 She is definitely a little beat up but her bones are good!  

Here is some inspiration for my sister's makeover!






 
Didn't all these ladies do a fabulous job!!  Go check out their projects if you have time!  They have great instructions!

This will be our first real re-upholstery project so  it should be interesting!  We are definitely going to have to consult my mom who has the sewing skills in the fam!  Anyone ever re-done a cane chair like this before?!

    Oooh! Any chance you'll be posting the step by step for this? I always overlook anything that even hints at "re-upholstery". Looking forward to the end result!

    Have you ever checked out the Love of Jesus thrift store on Nine Mile Road? Been to both, and the amount of furniture on 9-mile and the prices will make you drop your jaw!! Love to see your blog updates on Facebook as I'm also from Richmond!

    Can't wait to see what you do to this fabulous find! Love all the inspiration pictures. My little sister and I went to a junk store this weekend and I left my junk in her trunk. ha ha. It really was junk, but of course I had to buy it.

    Fabulous find! I'm loving the yellow bird fabric and painted blue! I found one at the Good Will for $5 not too long ago. It doesn't have fabric on the back and didn't have a cushion. I haven't done a thing to it yet, still deciding what to do with it. Thanks for the inspiration!

    Exactly the kind of chair I have been looking for! I have been searching all around Richmond lately and somehow missed this one. What a great find!
