As it happens, I’ve had two other French cane chairs that are almost identical to the Craig’s List ones in my basement stash. I bought ... Read More

Perfect step by step instructions with photo - Cane chair makeover

I've been wanting to attempt chair reupholstering for awhile now and it finally happened yesterday! I took the day off because I had a plumber doing some work on the house and figured I'd put my time off to good use! So I ventured into the garage and pulled out this beauty! This chair (it has a twin sister, too!) belonged to my grandmother and from the stories I've heard she loved this thing! Before I began, I had done a ton of research on reupholstering chairs and most of the sites I found…
