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!
