We’ve been on a lookout for a high chair for Luna the past weeks. Instead of buying a brand new high chair, we decided to go for a used one and customize it. I found this wooden high chair on craigslist for $25.00. It had a nice shape to it so I bought it, sanded it, primed it then painted it red. A small can of paint was $20.00 so all in all, her high chair only cost us $45.00! It’s a great looking high chair for a small price tag. And, it was customized especially for her.

I love your dining room. The chair looks great with the picture you have above the dining table. It really brings the whole room together.

In the meanwhile… where did you get your lamp? It is absolutly gorgeous!
We got our chandelier from a local light store years ago… Velocity design (http://www.velocityartanddesign.com) has some awesome chandeliers!
Thanks! iy’s really beautiful :)
Question, in case you happen to see this comment: What kind of paint did you use? It looks great, and it can be so hard to get good coverage in red!
Hi Christa,
I just used General Paint. It was actually fairly easy to get the coverage. I only did 2 coats of paint. But I sanded it and primed it first.
Good luck!

Hi there, I stumbled across your blog via Ohdeedoh and omg I love your stuff. Beautiful.
This chair is from IKEA. We have the same and seeing it in red makes me want to paint ours now. ;)

That combination of the DIY red highchair and linear painting, topped off by the simplicity of those white chairs— perfect!
