High Chair Upcycle

The air was finally a tad cooler this morning.  I grabbed my paintbrush, antique high chair I recently found at an Antique show, and my best pal Annie Sloan Chalk Paint.  Together, we got her painted before Hubby even had all the bacon fried up.

I had been on the lookout for a vintage high chair for awhile now, but the prices have always been too steep and the structure never seemed safe enough.  Until this baby.  I got the salesman down to $25, which seems to be a good deal for this sort of thing.

I slapped on a couple of coats (cause I am generous like that) and then waxed it, sanded a little distressment into it, and waxed it again.  Isn't it purdy? 

Can't you just see a little one year old sitting up high and mighty with their little smash cake in front of them?  And can't you see me behind the lens, giddy as a schoolgirl?

Well, that is what I have in mind!

Annie Sloan Chalk Paint is non-toxic, eco-friendly and water based.  Let's just say if I had a lil' thing, I'd let her not just have her cake on the tray, but let her eat it, too!  :)

Goodbye vintage bunny circa 1970.  I kinda hate to see your adorable camera get painted!

 Hello gorgeous!  Love me some painted furniture!

I know some of you have bought some Annie Sloan paint...tell me what you've done with it!
