Caned Chair Do-Over

This $35 chair was the perfect shape for the seating area and the caning was in great condition. Eddie updated the drab finish and dingy, beige fabric with creamy white paint and a new seat cushion. To accent the chair’s pretty caning, Eddie skipped a back cushion in favor of a punchy throw pillow.
