I have been looking for a cane chair just like this for well over a year now. Last summer, I saw one at the flea market but they were asking $90. My best friend Laura major low balled for me and we basically got kicked out of the booth. Good times.<br />But, I'm glad I held out because this one is gorgeous, in great condition, and a great price! Ideally though, I'll be able to find a partner for her, and a great reupholstery fabric.<br />I  might leave the wood natural though...just touch it up a bit...is that crazy?:<br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO1tv7ty-nWvau5QAvThpY6gO_EjeLA0j2hVE7rd6E9wV_h-Q2AyywxEunc1OzdeWKW_co_4IJU16Pxi84ewQaxEJVl9LLLnqQ2M8XlpmoULTlpHT97oA3JBz00jhVg2UwWqJEyDZzNXc/s1600/cane+chairs+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO1tv7ty-nWvau5QAvThpY6gO_EjeLA0j2hVE7rd6E9wV_h-Q2AyywxEunc1OzdeWKW_co_4IJU16Pxi84ewQaxEJVl9LLLnqQ2M8XlpmoULTlpHT97oA3JBz00jhVg2UwWqJEyDZzNXc/s1600/cane+chairs+1.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.lonny.com/photos/February+March+2010+Issue/OKa42clXEhp" target="_blank">via Lonny February/March 2010</a></td></tr></tbody></table><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgftUwo7p6USi6gCeTf01zBfAYNQYogOL3tlTA66E961bBcC1bEV1J86QmNo68d44LTpStKHKPMXH9HekK7Rt6Lnimto2YNwul2ykrlHT4DtJVnVqD4KlbM4WkpLn1tNCBIukkLNWmY7B8/s1600/cane+chairs+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgftUwo7p6USi6gCeTf01zBfAYNQYogOL3tlTA66E961bBcC1bEV1J86QmNo68d44LTpStKHKPMXH9HekK7Rt6Lnimto2YNwul2ykrlHT4DtJVnVqD4KlbM4WkpLn1tNCBIukkLNWmY7B8/s1600/cane+chairs+2.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.lonny.com/photos/February+March+2010+Issue/EEqi0DSg2Jh" target="_blank">via Lonny February/March 2010</a></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Do you think this is an upholstery job I can tackle on my own?

Octagonal Mirrors

<div style="text-align: center;">A sculptural mirror can have such a big impact on a space, simultaneously acting as both artwork and a reflective surface. This is why I was so excited when I found this lovely octagonal mirror while I was out thrifting last week:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJfjnqGpIqx3-r2W_vuZHR4j9dkwOw_GrSAVRKplZaaW8c2dLTBsr-6Nnyvj3WSPTV8AFp21iW3FAG22FwXCNxL6-6qXGkKiMR0CxOI7phaaZwQbQxMtuYut-Uw1fabrJQ0HFLQ1Eslb8/s1600/003.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;
