OLD CABINET to Modern Cane Showpiece | Furniture Makeover

In this furniture makeover, I transform a dated cabinet/dresser using cane, handmade handles and legs, and a white + whitewash color combo for a modern boho look.

I found this piece on FB Marketplace many months ago and it was sitting in storage waiting for me to come up with an idea for it. Ever since my last cane makeover, I've wanted to reattempt the caning process (last time I didn't wet the cane prior to stapling, which I now know is the best way to ensure a tight application). This piece did not look like a good candidate for a caning project because, well, it didn't have an opening for me to cane. But then I thought, why don't I just MAKE an opening and cane it... And just like that, this video was conceived.

Check out my other cane makeover in a dark color:

I hope you found some value in this video. Thank you for watching! :)
