DIY Faux Cane Door Sideboard
If you have been following along with our fixer-upper house projects, then you know I've been working in our tiny kitchen lately.
Most recently, I worked on the cupboards to give them a more modern, updated feel. If you missed it, you can check out that post: Updating Original 1960s Kitchen Cupboards.
Today I'm sharing a sideboard upcycle that we added for more storage.

When searching for a sideboard to use in our tiny kitchen, I was really drawn to the McGee & Co. Sorren Cabinet.
I love the look of the cane doors. They add texture and interest, plus they hide what's inside and since we are using this for added kitchen storage, that was a must!
I also liked the gold door hardware. We have gold in the rest of our kitchen so this would fit nicely.
However, it was a little too big and the $2,400 price was a definite no for me!
I decided to try and dupe the look! You can watch the video I created below.
I purchased this Costway Sideboard from Overstock. I paid $195 but I see it's on sale now for $153!
It was the size we needed, it had square doors like the McGee & Co. piece, and I thought I could add legs to bring the height up a bit more.
I found these Tapered Wood Legs at Home Depot and I used THIS hardware to attach them. I liked that they would give a mid-century feel rather than the legs that the inspiration sideboard has.
I needed to add some cane to the doors but the cane is pretty spendy too so I opted for a different option that I'd seen recently on Pinterest.
Burlap!! Yes! Once you have it in place, it really looks like cane!
I purchased one yard of burlap from my local JoAnn's for $4.99. The glass on these doors is held in place similar to the glass of a picture frame, with little tabs. So, I was able to remove the glass and wrap it with burlap.
To do so, I cut a piece of burlap about 2 - 4 inches wider than the glass.
This will be perfect since I want to have plants on top!
I'm happy with how this turned out; it gives us some much-needed storage space!

Very nice! It really needed to legs! I love the tiles on top and who'd think burlap would look so good?!
