Hi! I'm Alicia & you all know I have expensive taste in furniture!

Remember my tips on how to save on designer furniture? Click here to read! Well, here's one more idea on how to save BIG on your furniture...

Upcycle a Cheaper Piece!

Burst $2,199 Some call it hacking, but you alter the piece to look more alike a more expensive one. Burst $475

I started with this piece from Wayfair.

It was on sale for $107.49, but even at full price ($167.99), it's a steal! I figured out I needed 3.

This is what it looked like when all 3 were together.

It's the right size and I loved the colors in our space. BUT, you can see all of the kids' toys and games AND it's missing the depth that texture provides.

So, I decided to hack it!

I order all of my cane webbing from Frank's Cane & Rush Supply out of California. He's super knowledgeable and will help you find the right supplies for your project.

I measured the glass and ordered a final radio weave cane webbing.

Finally, I ordered Gorilla Hot Glue Sticks.

To apply the cane I started by laying it on the glass, held down with a heavy book, and traced the outline of the cane.

Heptagram Make sure the cane rows are level before you trace and cut.

I also worked with the spline to straighten it out and cut it to size before I started gluing anything.

I glued the cane webbing and the spline down at the same time so there's only 1 layer of glue.

1 layer glue = tighter fit against the edge of the glass. Excess glue will peel off once cool. Arrow

Pottery Barn Dupe: DIY TV Console Cabinet

Hi! I'm Alicia & you all know I have expensive taste in furniture!

Upcycle a Cheaper Piece!

Pottery Barn's Dolores Buffett

My version!

I started with this piece from Wayfair.

Ebern Designs Ormar 31.5" Wide Server!

This is what it looked like when all 3 were together.

So, I decided to hack it!

I measured the glass and ordered a final radio weave cane webbing.

I also ordered enough reed spline to wrap around each piece of cane-covered glass.

Finally, I ordered Gorilla Hot Glue Sticks.

It has been rated amongst the best hot glue to use on glass.

To apply the cane I started by laying it on the glass, held down with a heavy book, and traced the outline of the cane.

You can also use a ruler and measure out your rectangles.

TIP:

I also worked with the spline to straighten it out and cut it to size before I started gluing anything.

I kept books on the cane to help hold it down while gluing.

I glued the cane webbing and the spline down at the same time so there's only 1 layer of glue.

AFTER:

I actually like my version better, I got a bigger piece of furniture, &

I saved $1,700+
