I got this high chair a long time ago, I don't think it was very old and but I liked it. It was missing the tray but I thought I could resell it "as is" and someone would be interested in it for display. A nice doll or teddy bear I was thinking but I guess I was the only one that thought that. The chair sat there for 2 years no nibbles so I decided that I would take it home and give it a make-over.
I decided to go all out and went through my stash of goods to see what I could partner up with this great little chair and give it a chance to be a part of modern decor but keep a trace of the vintage charm.
I attached a found mirror and some shutters to the top and an old door top to the chair handles. Next I attached some boards so I could give it drawers. It is a very one of a kind piece and it sold right away. It makes a nice display piece and doesn't take up much room.
I added a tin tile I had to the back as a drawer stop and accent. I painted the whole thing white and sanded it up so it looked worn. Who can figure, I put a pile of stuff out in the middle of the room and just start hooking it all together and then sell it. What fun. I am thankful that there are people that see things as I do and expand there minds to decorate with the unusual.
What an amazing transformation... I don't think I would have known it was a highchair in its former life lol
