A few weeks ago, I showed you an old high chair (or booster chair) that I found at an antique shop for just $10.  As much as I love painting furniture, I also love beautiful wood.  And that is what I saw on this chair.  This chair didn't need to be covered with layers of paint. In case you missed my previous post, here is the before.... I gently sanded the high chair down with a fine grit sandpaper to remove all that was making it not so lovely.  Then I used hemp oil on the chair to bring back the charm of the wood. It was my first time ever using hemp oil and I have to say that I'm really pleased with how well it works.  It enhances what is already there and allows the wood to maintain the character it has built up through the years. The seat of the chair was a lot more worn and the wood wasn't in good condition.  For that reason, I opted to paint and distress just this portion.  The creamy white paint (Champlain by Fusion Mineral Paint) adds a nice contrast to the restored wood.

When I first brought the piece home, I assumed that they served some real purpose.  But once I started working on it all, I realized that evidently the old screws that went into the board from behind had come out.  Maybe the owner didn't have that size and opted to just screw a smaller size in from the front so that the chair was still usable.  It is always fascinating to see how people made do with what they had. We live in an age where everything is quickly manufactured and just about as quickly discarded.  100 years ago, toys like this would have been something special to have.  How much of what we own will be around 100 years from now? I'd love to know you thoughts about today's post!  Would you have painted the entire chair?  Or left it as it was? subscribe to the blog  |  follow on Pinterest  |  follow on Facebook  |   This post may contain affiliate links.  That means that if you purchase a product I've recommended, it won't cost you any more, but I may receive a small commission.
