Stenciled High Chair Makeover

So a couple weeks before we moved I purchased this little old high chair from Goodwill for $5. It’s been sitting in storage for awhile, but it was time to give it a little makeover so we can have a place for my new little niece and nephew at the table when we move into the new home.

1. To begin I laid out stripes of ScotchBlue Painter’s Tape to form one huge sticker.

3. When preparing the surface you’re going to paint, make sure the surface is the color you want your final lettering to be. Since the high chair is blue, I wanted the tan lettering (which is why just that area is painted tan).

Seriously, why didn’t I think of this before!

    Completely precious!! I love makeovers like this…sometimes I feel like it’s easier to do a makeover on a thrift shop item b/c if it goes badly, you aren’t out much. Yours turned out so nicely. 🙂

    This is such a personalized cool chair. Any kids would be proud of it and always say, “That’s my chair!”
