High Chair Makeover

Nearly three years since my last post, wow! (Those koolaid hats are still a favorite past project)

If you haven’t been keeping up with me on facebook, well, H is no longer a toddler, but is in kindergarten (how did that happen so quick?), we’ve moved, adopted two dogs, and had a baby girl who is just about to start eating solid foods. Time for a high chair!


I had gotten a wooden one from a restaurant going out of business and decided to give it a makeover for baby W.


First I had to remove all the crud, which I did with help from Goo Gone, a wire brush, dish detergent, and some sandpaper. Much better already!


Then I primed and painted a pretty purple. I decided instead of washing and reinstalling the straps, I would make a fabric strap that could be easily taken off and washed. It also serves as a small cushion in the back.


It secures with snaps underneath (out of reach from baby fingers)


She loves it! And she enjoys being up on our level at dinner time
