Welcome to The Holiday Home Series at The Yellow Cape Cod.
Today, I would like to share a quick (30 minute) and inexpensive ($20) project to prepare your home for guests. Little guests.
This year, instead of pulling out the plastic highchair for our Christmas parties, I came up with a simple way to welcome our little friends/family members in festive style...
I picked up a wooden highchair at the Goodwill for $12 (on half off day). It was in good condition and had a nice shape.
Here is how I did it:
I sanded the surface lightly with my hand sander and gave it a good dusting. The screws on the tray hardware were stripped. Instead of removing them, I taped them off with painters tape.
I gave it a light coat of spray primer. In 5 minutes it was dry and ready for paint. Krylon paint is amazing. The finish is smooth and it dries completely in 15 minutes.
I gave the chair three light coats of Krylon Cherry Red Gloss paint. I have tried many red spray paints and I like this color best.
It's so much cuter than a plastic high chair.
It's a fun holiday accessory even when we're not entertaining.
It's also a great way to freak your hubby out when he gets home from work and asks why there is a highchair in the house again...
