Old Highchair Gets a Makover

So I found this high chair at a yard sale for a dollar. It was kind of beat up and sad looking...











The legs and the top were pretty beat up. I thought I had a picture of the top. I had to saw off the very top of the chair because the one ball was all chewed up. Surprisingly it turned out nice and probably looked better than it did with them.

I began by giving the entire chair a sand down. It didn't take that long and wasnt all that messy.

I then gave it one coat of primer. It only used half a can!! Love it when that happens.







I then spray painted it with the color of my choice. I now wish I would have done a blue because most of my home and walls are green. It took two coats to get the results I wanted which ended up being exactly one can of spray paint.










I wanted to make it different but also something that I could hand down to friends or family so stenciling names were out. Bon Appetit seemed perfect so I went and bought cheapo stencils and stencil adhesive. I also bought the special sponge brushed made especially for stenciling, Im in love!! This was also the first time I ever used stencil adhesive and the stuff is great!!







Lastly I put one coat of clear coat on it and I was done. My three year old looooooooooooves this chair!! Its all his which makes it super special.
