When I initially settled on a theme for my niece’s first birthday party, the item at the top of my list that I wanted to tackle was the high chair. I pictured it old and wooden, painted pink and slightly distressed. And I knew it would be a focal point of the event. I just needed to track one down to use as my canvas. The problem with old wooden high chairs is that although they are often in poor condition, they can be pricey and hard to find. I managed to locate one on Craigslist for $30 and for an added bonus, it wasn’t in such bad shape at all.
{This is the original high chair, photo taken by the owner, before it was painted}
I found this Americana Decor paint at Michael’s craft store and it was as easy to use as the little jar promised it would be. There was no need to sand the chair before applying the paint.
{The creme wax and the soft-touch varnish didn’t seem to be that different, so I got both in case I wanted to test each of them out, but ended up only using the creme wax}
I started with one coat of the pink chalky finish paint and then let it dry. This paint dries very quickly, which makes this project so easy to complete in one afternoon. Once dry, I painted a second coat and let that dry, too.
{For this high chair, I used about one and a half cans of the pink chalky finish paint to cover with two coats}
Remove the tray and paint that separately, making sure to turn over when the top is dry, so that you get the bottom and the sides, too.
Then, I began sanding to distress. When distressing, I focused my attention on the edges where natural wear and tear usually occurs.
To make the distressing look authentic, stick to the edges and the high points of the furniture that would have been touched most often. Such as the arms of the chair where hands rest and the foot bar where little feet tend to lay or kick against. I also sanded the seat of the chair, going over the curves.
Next, I applied the clear, creme wax with a slightly damp, clean rag. The wax offers a soft, smooth finish and not much is needed, so apply sparingly.
{I did go over the chair with the sand paper once more after waxing, so that I made sure to rough up the polished look a bit}
Things You Will Need:
1. Wooden high chair.
2. Americana Decor (or another brand) of paint in your desired color in a chalky finish.
3. Americana Decor (or another brand) of clear creme wax, varnish or dark wax, depending on the final look you are trying to achieve.
4. Old rags.
5. Paint Brushes.
6. Sandpaper.
{Additional Tip}
1. Dark waxes can be used on top of clear waxes to add an even more authentic, antique look. Since this was my first go at this, I stuck to the clear wax, but I am looking forward to trying the dark wax next time as well.
Stay tuned for photos after the party this weekend, so you can see the finished product with the one-year-old model sitting pretty in her new chair!
Hope you find this helpful if you, too, are looking to paint and distress a high chair for a kid’s party!

compatibility issues. After I take a look at your
site in Safari, it seems fine however, if opening in Internet Explorer, it
offers some overlapping issues. I simply desired to provide a quick heads up!
In addition to that, great site!

Hello could you mind sharing which blog platform you’re using?
I’m going to begin my blog soon but I’m developing a
hard time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and
Drupal. The main reason I ask is mainly because your design seems different then most blogs and I’m seeking something unique.
P.S Sorry for getting off-topic but I needed to ask!

Истина — это нечто, что стремительно появляется из небытия и снова погружается в небытие. Она появляется внезапно и снова исчезает. В тот миг, когда она приходит, она верна. В этом нет сомнения. Мы недооцениваем существа истины и познания.
Пытаясь увековечить момент истины, мы недооцениваем ее быстротечность. Истина — это быстротечное благо. Истина всегда проявляется по-разному. Она никогда не повторяется. Это как счастье: все радуются его приходу, а если оно уходит, надо дать ему уйти.
Мной движет нечто, я совершенно не представляю, что будет, я в полной темноте и чувствую, словно через меня течет поток воды, течет издалека и утекает вдаль. Я просто водопроницаемый. Сам по себе я ни к чему не причастен, так же как источник не причастен к воде, которая просто течет через него.
Как обрести такую позицию? Нужно отказаться от намерений. У воды, что течет через источник, нет никаких намерений. У нее нет цели. И все же она доходит до полей, принося им плодородие, а затем уходит в море. Итак, отсутствие намерений есть основа для такой работы.
Отказаться от намерений может только тот, кто отказался от своих представлений о добре и зле. Кто не борется ни за добро, ни против зла. Ни то, ни другое. Он примирен со всем, что происходит. С жизнью. Со смертью. Со счастьем. Со страданием. Он согласен с миром и согласен с войной. Он проницаем, смирен и не содействует добру.
