My redo of a Child's chair....

I have been wanting an old wood childs high chair for my kitchen forever.  If I found one, the price was either unreal, or the high chair was too big for the kitchen of the house we were currently living in (military and moving around a lot)...

 

I have the sweetest friend, Mandy of Bittersweet Folkart, who has a booth at a local antique shop...Anyway, found this chair and I fell in love....

 

OK, I should have taken a "before" picture, but I forgot....The chair had been repaired, but I decided to fill in the cracks some more---this is the picture with the wood filler--YEP, does look awful!!!  but nothing a little sanding and stain can not fix....

 

Sanded and half way done.  I filled in here and there with some black paint also....to look a little more antique:

 

       TA DA!! done and I love it, just letting it dry....

I grabbed one of my dollies and put her in the chair....LOVE IT!!!  and will work for now... I am making a larger doll soon to sit in the "chair of honor" in my kitchen....but for now this one will do. LOVING IT......

Thanks to Mandy...check her stuff out at...http://bittersweetfolkartprimitives.blogspot.com/

 

 

Going to get to work on a new wool piece.   Am using the last of an old Army Banket of my husbands to make a pillow with the wording "SIMPLIFY" on it...just a reminder to us all that life does not have to be so complicated......

 

Have a fantastic weekend my friends,
