It's done! This is the pictorial evolution of an old wooden high chair, spray painted white for a first child, fancied up for the second!
 |
| Nice chair, but boring, right? |
 |
| Bought all the paints, excited to get started. |
 |
| Jackie picked the colors from several samples I brought home; left it up to me to decide where they went. |
 |
| Trying to come up with a plan! |
 |
| Along about now, I was thinking "this isn't as easy as I thought it would be?!?" |
 |
| I like the color combination! |
 |
| Wondering what to do next... |
 |
| Love the blue and pink, but too predictable. |
 |
| The orangey color is my favorite! |
 |
| Wondering if I should stop... |
 |
| Starting to add the details. |
 |
| This is fun! (Hoping I'll know when to stop!) |
 |
| OK. At this point I decided the seat was too solid. Even though Jackie doesn't like yellow, I thought it needed either white or yellow for a pop. So I made a home depot run and bought some paint tape and took a chance! |
 |
| Yellow. Like the centers of the flowers. Hope it looks alright. |
 |
| Now what? Not crazy about the stripes. |
 |
| Maybe if the stripes are in more places?!? |
 |
| And I know I'm going to put dots on the legs, so why not in the seat!? |
 |
| It's coming together! I think I like! |
 |
| We're about 2 weeks in at this point. Hmmmmmm. |
 |
| I'm liking it, but I need to add the flowers to the inside of the arms too. And I think I'll stripe the top of the arms like the back. Apparently at this point I had decided to never quit painting on this chair... |
 |
| I think the details are cute! |
 |
| It's time to do the tray! |
 |
| Had Jackie choose the font she wanted from about 10 or 12 options. She narrowed it down to two. |
 |
| For some reason, I didn't take any pictures of the tray until it was almost done. Oh, and those are my toes... |
 |
| I like. |
 |
| Decided the arms of the tray needed a little something too. |
 |
| Finished. Just adding the 5 coats of sealer...... |
 |
| Put it all together to see how it looked. |
 |
| Juliette is getting a high chair for her first birthday November 1st. |
 |
| Shhhhh. Don't tell her. It's a secret!! |
Love you Jackie! Hope you love it!!! And you can show Jason that it's not ALL purple!!
