Refinished Antique High Chair

Because of the long Holiday weekend I wasn't able to get much done.  I spent most of my time just being with my family!  We had our older boys the whole time, which is rare for us, so it was SO nice! 
 I did, however, finish a project for a friend.  She brought over her antique high chair that she wanted me to refinish for her.
She wanted it white, and of course distressed!
Here it is Before:
 It is a beautiful chair with nice details

 I used my homemade chalk paint, and went with Valspar's Betsy's Linen.  
 Then I distressed, and topped it with Polycrylic! 
It was the perfect little project to do over the weekend!  I hope you all had a fabulous
 holiday weekend too!

    That is identical to the high chair I had for my kids back in the late 70's. I painted it white in 1982 when we moved to FL and sold it for more than I paid for it new! Great minds think alike as they say. Love YOURS, Therena! xo Diana

    It is so lovely. This is the sort of project I'd love to do but my little monkey has outgrown her high chair :-(

    Beautiful! I love wood high chairs. They add character to a kitchen and look seriously more pleasing to the eye than the plastic ones. Painting this one was a great idea!

    Wow. I want it! Even though my little ones are finally out of high chairs, I'd keep that around if it were mine. So charming. Well done. Visiting from One More Time Events.
