Has Your Little One Got You Thinking About a New Place?

Doe and baby - Steve Kappre

 

Being a first-time home buyer doesn't need to be a stressful situation.

It would be nice if every first time buyer had the time to sit in a class to get educated on all the aspects of the home buying process. That might have been the only way to learn years ago. Today, the internet is the primary medium for education. You can educate yourself and find a great professional to work with.

Find below some helpful first time home buyer links. And when you have additional questions, don't hesitate to call, e-mail, or text your questions. I'd be happy to help!

Chairs Caned by Diane | Gloucester County, NJ

Chairs Caned by Diane | Gloucester County, NJ

 Chair Caning by Diane - Gloucester County, NJ

Caned chairs might seem like something of days past, but you wouldn't know it by the amount of work that local resident Diane Wagner could have on her hands.

Diane is a local East Greenwich resident who has been caning chairs for years. She mostly works on items for businesses, but will also take on the occasional project for individuals.

Although most have seen the end product, many people, especially the younger generations, don't even know what it means to cane a chair. After all, caning chairs isn't exactly the most practiced craft around. It can be difficult to find someone local to help out with such needs. And even if you do, the work may simply be be outsourced to someone like Diane.

The caning part is the web-like portion that is woven together for the seat or back portion of the chair. (at right 

 

Caned Chair

A chair such as the on the right takes about 3-4 hours to complete.

 

Diane also offers rush and flat reed work.

  

The weaving of the cane is done on a separate piece and then transferred over(see below).

 

If you have been thinking about restoring some of your own caned furniture, but didn't know who to call, then your search is over. Caning has been in Diane's family for years, and the results show it!

 

For additional information or to hire Diane for your business or personal needs, check out Diane's Chair Caning Website which has several more examples of her work. You can call her at 856-224-1047 or send her an e-mail at dswagner2@yahoo.com
