How do i get the holiday sleigh bed or the candy cane chair for millsberry?

Those items were sold in the furniture store during Christmas of 2004 and are no longer available for purchase at store price. The only way to get these items now is to purchase them in a yard sale. They are what's considered a 'rare' item and sell for many milliions of millsbucks.

you can look at yardsales and see if you can find any there. I don't think they're selling them now at stores, so that 's the only way to get them until next year. But, I warn you, people with yardsales sometimes have high prices!

What are books about were the girl ends up in a wheel-chair or cane her high school life?

Please help I can't think of the book I read and no one really knows what it's called.

Maybe "Izzy Willy Nilly" by Cynthia Voigt?

In the book, she goes on a date with some guy, he drinks too much and she is injured in a car accident and has to be in a wheelchair. I remember reading it for our required reading when I was in HS.

Was it a Lurlene McDaniel book?

How does one repair a cane rocking chair?

I was at at a friend's house (let's call him Salazaar) playing pool with Curtis. Out of nowhere, Salazaar attacks me and I wrestle him into his great-great-great-great grandmother's 140-year-old rocking chair, breaking the cane seat. I explained it to his mother and now I feel terrible. How do I rectify this situation?

It is possible to purchase pre-weaved cane seating. It is just like the one you broke but comes in a sheet already weaved into different patterns. This is placed in the opening and the ends are poked down into the holes and attached with wedges to hold them in. This cane is available in woodworking stores and woodworking websites. Some sites to check are listed below. Also if you have a Woodcraft retail store near you they may have it in stock. Good Luck.

Should I paint or stain cane chair?

I got a cane chair for nothing - someone was throwing it out at our Civic Recycling Centre and my husband bagged it. It's nothing special - just the standard kind you see for €50 in loads of shops now - a sort of orangy brown colour. I've repaired it with wood glue and now it needs refinishing. I was originally going to use Plastikote spray but it seems I'll need at least 2 cans and maybe primer too - that's almost €30 for a start! It seems to defeat the whole idea of recycling. I've plenty of half-empty stained varnish of various kinds - light oak, walnut but I'd have to brush these on.

What would you do?

Scrub it down with Soda soap and wire wool and coat with a cheap 'light wood' stain, this will achieve a natural aged look and not a false fresh painted old chair.

stain or light varnish

Paint is horrible for any kind of furniture,so tacky

and cheap looking.Best to rub it down with fine

Emery paper then clear varnish,this will make

the grain in the wood stand out and it will look super.

Stain... if you want to save money paint if you love the chair to bits..

Now if it were a Lloyd Loom chair I would say paint as I have an old one which is now a collectors item even though the paint is distressed and flaking. It is a nineteen thirties design and made for comfort.

Saw one in shop in Dublin and they were asking funny money for it!

Spray paint is better because it doesn't fill in the spaces between the caning like brushing on paint will. Staining will only work if the cane has no finish whatsoever on it. I'd play safe and spray, I've used plasticote before with no primer - check the can.

How much is a cane chair worth?

I have a chair with what I believe to be cane on the seat, it is a small rocking chair, probably for a doll. My question has two parts. First, how can I tell if it is authentic cane versus paper, my mom said it feels like cane to her, but how can I be sure? Second, where can I possibly sell this piece? I bought it for the purpose of reselling it. Any other information about cane chairs or anything related would be greatly appreciated.

I would take it to an antique appraisor. Some manufacturers of full-size furniture made miniature samples for their traveling salesmen to show potential customers, in the 19th century.

Some of these miniature samples are quite valuable.

For reselling, try eBay.

Can someone give me a good peice of analysis and the story behind "Still life with chair caning"?

it is painted by Picasso.

please help, thanks

Collage in the modernist sense began with Cubist painters Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso. According to some sources, Picasso was the first to use the collage technique in oil paintings. According to the Guggenheim Museum's online article about collage, Braque took up the concept of collage itself before Picasso, applying it to charcoal drawings. Picasso adopted collage immediately after (and was perhaps indeed the first to use collage in paintings, as opposed to drawings):

"It was Braque who purchased a roll of simulated oak-grain wallpaper and began cutting out pieces of the paper and attaching them to his charcoal drawings. Picasso immediately began to make his own experiments in the new medium." [4]

In 1912 for his Still Life with Chair Caning (Nature-morte à la chaise cannée),[3] Picasso pasted a patch of oilcloth with a chair-cane design onto the canvas of the piece.

What is the subject matter of Still Life With Chair Caning by Picasso? (picture included).?

http://www.brown.edu/Courses/CG11/2005/Group024/Picasso-Still_Life_with_Chair-Caning-synthetic_cubism.jpg

I can tell that there's machine-printed pattern of chair caning. Possibly an evelope (letter), there's a space which represents playing cards. What else is there? What's that thing right in the middle? And also what is that in the top centre? Thanks!

this painting was a response to complaints of his earlier work, Still Caning a Horse Cause I'm a Moron by Pablo Pickarsehole.

Is there anyone near Newport, Maine who does chair caning?

If you are out there, please e-mail me. Thanks!

Might try antique shops, the"Lighthouse" or other associations for the blind.

They used to do "real "caning to raise money.

Failing that, there are kits you can buy online that use "cane" mesh that is held in place using the original spline groove (if there is one)

To compare cost ( If you find a good craftsman), they generally charge by the "front inch".

Most antique shops send the work out ,so you are paying them handling fees on top of the work.

Good luck

Does anyone have good pictures of the various patterns used in chair caning and rushing?

I would like to expand my caning business, and am capable of duplicating almost any pattern. Are there any out there I don't know about?
