Wooden High chair

The High chair I plan on refinishing for the party. Funny story about my day. So I bought a beautiful antique high chair with a beautiful honey oak finish. Where is this highchair your wondering. It would seem as though my loving wonderful grandma in law has it. Quote "its too Pretty to paint!!" . I have to admit she was kinda right it was Very pretty original finish and because I'm not in the art of vandalizing beautiful antiques the first high chair of the day went to Nana house where it can be cherished and be used by all the great grand babies of the present and future. :)

So here I am 1 month away from the party still needing to completly redo a high chair and after calling soo many antique shops note no one had one the only one someone had was a primitive flat back which had no tray !!  which was no bargain. I bet you after this party I see SOO MANY wooden high chairs.  Craigslist was picked dry of well priced wooden high chairs a few people pricing at $175 which may be find for some people but not this bargainista.

That pretty much left me with Cold calling Nashville area Thriftstores. I then found out a HORRIBLE HORRIBLE THING Due to soo many recalls and parents who just dont watch there children several Places are DESTORYING ANTIQUE HIGH CHAIRS !!!! > . < NOOOOOO!!!!! That should be a crime . I understand the liabilities and such but that is horrible.

I did find a HOLE In the wall thrift store by hold in the wall I mean bad side a town I wouldn't be there after dark kinda place ... But upon calling them they had one . it had the tray and a spindle back and it was blonde all I learned on the phone seeing as Beggers can't be choosers and as time is drawing to a close. I ended up spending more on this newer modern version of a wooden high chair. it was $45 dollars. however being that it is a mass market wooden high chair that has been reproduced untold times and easily reproduced again its perfect for paint. It will be better for the experience.
