Thrifted Cane Chair Makeover

Hey girl, hey! Today we’re giving this thrifted cane chair a makeover, and it’s one of my favorite things to do. It was a bargain at $25, especially with all those details. I typically don’t want to spend that much on a chair, but it’s perfect for a corner of my living room. Did you know that Lizzy and I have a furniture painting course?

Meanwhile, let’s turn this thrifted chair into an elegant one! Check out the video below or follow along here on the blog for all the steps.

Let’s make it!

I’m starting out with Faded Burlap. It’s a clay based chalk paint from Debi’s Design Diary. I also have Waverly Antique Wax (brown) as well as some black and white paint. I’ll be using some of each until I get the color just right!

You’ll see brown on the chair in the pictures below. It’s actually Waverly Antique Wax with just a little black mixed in. Next, I just went back over it with a very light coat of Faded Burlap, and I kept going until it was the color I wanted.

It’s always a good day when I have a paint brush in my hands and I’m hanging out with friends like you! Let me know in the comments if you might try this DIY on a piece of your furniture. I appreciate each and every one of you!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
