    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:

    As an aspiring refinisher, I can totally appreciate the amount creativity, skill and patience that went into this Modern Cane Showpiece. Cutting out the centre piece and rotorring 1/4" to accommodate the cane requires "next level" skill. I've learned a lot from your craftsmanship and painting techniques e.g. adding paint thinner to primer, dowel fastening. I'm also amazed by the quality of the video. The close ups, fast forwards with sound effects create a "reality show documentary" feel. The text explanation provide just enough instructional info and blend in seamlessly. Keep up the amazing work!

    Absolutely beautiful!! I’ve watched several on TH-cam do the cane either replacing what was glass or cutting out a space in the drawers. But typically don’t (which drives me bonkers) do what you did with the trim and cover where you trimmed the cane after attaching it. This looks so finished and professional. I have a dresser that I want to do the same thing, but didn’t want to leave it unfinished looking inside and wasn’t sure what to do. So thank you for this, now I know to router out a notch where I’ll attach the cane and add the trim to cover those edges. Looks amazing!💜
