Vintage High Chair in Natural Wood and Warm White

  I love giving old pieces new life. This vintage wooden high chair was my latest makeover project. I am loving the end look, how about you? This solid wood cutie was found by my furniture scouting sister. I messaged the seller sight unseen I would take it. My Mom picked it up and delivered to my door. THANKS family for all your help!

Farmhouse Styled Wooden Crate


Remember when sun and moon were all the rage in the 90's? This sweet solid wood crate has been brought into the 2020 farmhouse trend updated in this warm white lightly distressed to see a hint of the former green and aged with dark wax.


The sun stickers were scraped off and the crate thoroughly scrubbed everywhere.


Then on to the fun part; painting!  I chose "Drop Cloth" from Dixie Belle Paint.


I actually did a whole collection of items in this wonderful warm white color.


Two coats of drop cloth were brushed on and when dry it was sanded with a sanding sponge to distress the edges to reveal the original green color. This was followed by a coat of Dixie Belle's best dang wax in clear to seal it all up. 


To add further age to the piece I brushed on brown wax from my Dixie Belle's sack o' wax.

                                    

And it is complete and ready for use.

I love it holding the matching salt and pepper set. All 3 pieces sold together to a wonderful customer.
