A very good friend sent this solid wood high chair to be reloved for her sweet little granddaughter visits.


The entire chair was scrubbed with Dixie Belle white lightning cleaner in a bucket of warm water after removing the hardware.


Scrubbing removes anything that will affect the paint job and give a fresh new start. Rinse and dry.


To remove knife cut marks on the tray I power sanded it smooth.


I chose one of my favorite matte black colors from the Dixie Belle silk paint line called anchor. Using the flat medium Dixie Belle synthetic brush to get in and around the curves the paint went on beautifully.

This is one coat and pretty much that is all that is needed. I did do a second coat on areas needed once dry the following day. This paint has a built in top coat and dries to a soft matte sheen.


However for the tray top I wanted to add durability so clear coated it with 2 coats of Dixie Belle flat clear coat applied with a damp Dixie Belle applicator sponge.


The hardware was screwed back in place and it was ready for the baby.





Of course my shop assistant Harley wanted in on the staging photos.

    Harley is very handsome. Anchor is such a pretty color. I still have not tried the silk line yet but I love Caviar too. Did your friend want her daughters highchair black? 😲 It is pretty.
