You guys know that I like to hit up the local thrift shops on Fridays after school as a sort of "Congrats! You made it through the week!" treat. I usually head home with some clothes and maybe a toy for Theron but this particular week I scored this vintage high chair priced at $10.00.
I almost passed on it because 1. We already have a highchair and 2. Our families have one, too. You'd think that would be reason enough to walk on by but of course I had to have it.
I knew I could turn it into something great for T to use at his first birthday celebration. I decided to paint it white with gold dipped legs. I used an all-in-one white paint & primer spray paint for the entire chair and then taped off the bottom of the legs to spray the gold. It was incredibly easy and took under an hour.
I have an arsenal of spray paint with a variety of gold options. I randomly chose this one and I am pleased with the outcome.
I love how it turned out!
I can't wait to add some fun balloons to the back and watch baby boy smash a cake into his face! I've been planning our little guy's first birthday for awhile and I hope I haven't gone overboard.

Painted vintage high chair is in the "pro" column for me having children. There is one sitting in the basement of my parents' house.

Dying. I love this! T is going to love it even more while he digs into his smash cake! I can't wait to see what you planned for his party!

LOVE IT ! you are such an inspiration Joy! May I ask what do you use to add text to your photos? I'm guessing photo shop or illustrator, hope you don't mind the question.
Baby T will look so cute on that chair on his B-Day!
I can't believe he's almost one!! And, that means I'm almost a year older as his birthday is the day before mine!!!
This. Is. Amazing! I actually planned a painting project for our high chair this weekend (we use a wooden high chair for the Henry boy). Thanks for the brilliant idea on the dipped legs.
Flawless execution! It's beautiful & I can just see Theron in it, crowned by a bunch of balloons. #itcouldbehisthrone

It turned out so great! I, too, found a $10 wooden highchair at a thrift store and have been mulling over ideas of how to paint it. This is definitely being filed under inspiration!
I loved the way it turned out! Me I might would went waaaaay over board and painted it all gold.
This looks amazing! I can't wait to see the rest of the details for what is sure to be a fabulous first birthday party!!! :)
