Cane Chairs Furniture Makeover | $20 to $2600? | CB2 Inspired

I found 4 cane chairs at the thrift store and decided they could use a modern makeover. At $5 per chair, I could not have found a better deal! In this cane chairs makeover video you will see me paint, recane, and add new sherpa fabric to each chair.
This project was inspired by the Nadia Black Cane Chairs by CB2, you can check them out on the CB2 website here:

Beautiful 😍 A tip with the cane - a paint wash might have worked...a light cream colour with water..a couple of coats. Those turned out beautifully 😍

[@FurnitureFlippa]

I was going to give the wash a go but I just didn't think I would get the look that would make me happy. Maybe I will try it another time! Thanks for watching!

[@ezequielmartinez3582]

No one asked though lmao

[@savedbygracesavedbygrace8308]

I agree great job. For a more budget friendly, applying white wax to the previous cane might have helped lightens the color.

[@clmitchell1166]

@@ezequielmartinez3582 well actually to be fair the first part of the video was about him trying to find a way to lighten the cane colour, so I think that's opened the discussion about how this could be achieved. These kind of videos enable a community discussion about different techniques that people use and it is helpful to others to share their opinions which I think they did in a respectful way.

[@juliemyatt3697]

Great job and added bonus of no background music. Love it

[@FurnitureFlippa]

Thanks Julie - glad you enjoyed it!

[@katalintorok2538]

Hi! it's me again. Forgot to mention that your instruction pace was perfect. Just enough time and direction on each step to be helpful, without dragging it out too much. Love your videos.

[@paulamasland1612]

Great video! Your perfectionism made it mesmerizing for me to watch. Very calm, non-irritating voice. Steady camera, etc. I learned a lot. Thank you.

[@FurnitureFlippa]

Thanks Paula, glad you enjoyed the video!

[@mascottie]

Love the chairs. I think I would have just left the old cane. That color is totally fine.

[@martinebangs6520]

Thank you for the great tutorial on the caning & reupholstering , your chairs came out great, I hope your g/f loved them ...lots of love went into this transformation....Take care...stay safe....

[@FurnitureFlippa]

Thanks for watching! She loved them! And we are both happy we didn't have to spend a lot more to get a similar look lol

[@zonyasvintage7859]

What a painstaking process! But you followed through to the very end, very thoroughly and neatly .. that’s what makes the furniture flip a success! You’re becoming very skilled in your videos! Very modern beautiful finish! Enjoyed the video

[@FurnitureFlippa]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks so much for watching!

[@casual454t1]

The chairs look awesome and I actually do like the cushions, however, I probably would have taken the lazy way out and just painted or used a light stain on the cane backing. I am redoing my stained kitchen cupboard doors. 19 of them. It takes many coats of bleach and sanding in between, then a tea stain, but I love the weathered wood look it's creating.

[@debsmith2269]

They look really funky and modern now. Very time consuming redoing the cane but end result was worth it.

[@FurnitureFlippa]

Thanks deb! Definitely was time-consuming but well worth it!

[@blondejovi_71]

Wow you did a phenomenal job... as an added bonus your voice is very relaxing. Tks 4 sharing! Jo💜💜💜

[@jodidavis6595]

I’ve done upholstery for 20 yrs. You’re right that before was pitiful. lol. Your new chairs and kitchen are beautiful 🇺🇸👍🏼

[@susanharris7929]

Nice work! I need to re-cane an old oak chair and now I feel confident I can do it, thank you!

[@baronesselsavonfreytag-lor1134]

The chairs look great. I've never seen anyone apply caning before, so that was cool to add to my mental notebook, thanks!

[@FurnitureFlippa]

Thank you! It takes time, but I realized it isn't the hardest thing in the world, I recommend giving it a go. It was a fun process! Thanks for watching!

[@deborahschipper1520]

What a lot of work! A job well done! I would have been tempted to spray it all! I appreciate your patience and love the chairs! THEY ARE GORGEOUS... BUT I would have chosen a contrasting material for the seats! Guess that's what makes the world go round!

[@nevisscot7697]

Yes i think the fabric choice is dissapointing

[@deborahschipper1520]

@@nevisscot7697 Yes but men see things like that differently than women! Black material shows pet hair and stains more than colors/prints also. He still did a good job!!

[@nathalie8171]

Wow you did an amazing job. Thank you so much for sharing your project. Bravo! I love it🙂

[@bonnietoll1461]

Super helpful, great to watch you do the chairs and learning from your handyman knowledge

[@evelinharmannfan7191]

The caning turned out really well! Good job! But I would choose a smooth cloth for upholstering dining chairs. Otherwise, crumbs will settle in there and it will soon look dirty and shabby.

[@anitakalli100]

What a great job on these chairs! The color the cane, and the fabric are amazing. 👏

[@FurnitureFlippa]

Thank you!

[@deborahschipper1520]

Score!! Beautiful chairs! Can't wait for the finish!

[@judymielcarek6011]

Awesome job! Beautiful outcome. Enjoyed watching your video.

[@ednaalegria8710]

Really great redo of these chairs, they are quite lovely. Thanks for sharing how you replaced the cane backing, good tutorial.

[@ChicAntiquebyHolly]

Wow you did such a good job on these--they turned out so well! The caning tutorial was super helpful, so thanks for showing us how you did it!

[@FurnitureFlippa]

Thank you! Glad it was helpful. I thought it was going to be super hard but it wasn't too bad, I learned a lot and enjoyed the process!

[@maryriehm4752]

Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@SharoninKentucky]

I have done canning before and my instructor said to use glue in the grooves then tap in the spline with a wood wedge then trim. Your chairs are beautiful.

[@ashleycrager7886]

How did you trim after the spline? Same chisel tool?

[@SharoninKentucky]

@@ashleycrager7886 trimmed with a razor knife. Put glue in groove then tap in cane with a wood wedge. Also tap in spline with the wood wedge. I took a class so I bought all the stuff from the teacher.

[@portaamber]

Nice! And I currently have a chair to re-cane, so this was super helpful ❤

[@margiechastain1109]

Great Job! Love the finished product!

[@semperfidelis2970]

Very very nice job

[@debraneria4242]

I love how these chairs turned out...🥰🤗

[@MrsMommy001]

Great job! I have the same chairs. They were given to me years ago. They've been sitting on my porch and need a serious make over. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@Jjlavids]

I am coming back to this video to announce that there is currently a listing of chairs like these for &80 on market place and I’m dying to try and do what you did but I’m in a tiny apartment with a toddler 😭 the heartache 🥲

[@FurnitureFlippa]

I am in a small apartment! Not much space but you can make it work! Just use safe products with no odor! Have your windows open for fresh air too!

[@Jjlavids]

@@FurnitureFlippa I’d try that if we weren’t crammed in here (we skipped out on storage space while we wait for our house) 😆 I was nice and her referenced your video and they took down the listing 😇 lol next time! Thanks for sharing 🤩

[@raraavis7782]

Wow. NICE result. Totally worth the trouble of changing the cane, as well as repainting everything.

They look very stylish, good job.

[@karladoane7323]

Thanks for the motivation to redo my chairs ;would even be biting off a bigger project .Would have to redo my table because that's what really needs to be done it was damaged recently by water so it had taken off many years wax in one spot . You can see the yellow oak surrounded by deep golden oak with a slight red tinge. Yes it needs modernizing . left it all natural as I got it when Y2K was about to happen wanted to make sure I could burn it without killing myself from the varnishes and paints So it has only been oiled it's a natural oak it's almost criminal to paint it .

Thanks b-rod92

[@marciakessler1911]

Love how you took someone's reject, keeping it out of the landfill and repurposed it! Thanks for the cane tutorial. I think I would have tried a paint wash to save that aggravation!! Great job, they turned out wonderful!

[@FurnitureFlippa]

Honestly, that was my next plan, but since I was keeping 2 chairs, I wanted the same look as those CB2 chairs. I don't think the wash would have made me happy lol Thanks for watching and glad you liked the tutorial! :)

[@angelabowman1614]

My sister and I reappostered her kitchen chairs years ago.....a boring tan material with Navy and White pots dots....they turned out nice. Ps....I was curious about why you didn't stain the cane black? Like the inspo chair? I like the natural Cain color personally......they turned out nice. 😊👍

Very nice!
