Refinished Product

I have really started to enjoy refinishing furniture. Although I am not a "great" re finisher, I do enjoy it, and am very happy with the final outcome. My mother found this very old high chair for me at Savers, minus the tray. I think she paid around 5 bucks for it, and brought it to me. See, Ady has not been liking her highchair, because she is "restrained". At my mom's house, she has a red chair, that is slightly higher than a normal kitchen chair, and Ady sits on it every time we are there. I think it makes her feel like a big kid! So when we found this one... we thought it would be perfect for her. With the weather so nasty it took me some time to paint/stain/sand/paint/stain/seal
and let it dry. But it's finally done. The wood tones are the same color, the camera doesn't do it justice! I did take a before picture, but can't seem to find it on either of our PC's, oh well. (It was painted white, with every ring on chair a different color... It was quite ugly!)

That looks awesome! I so wish I had the time (and talent) to do things like that--you'll have to teach me and help me with some things... we should hit up the stores together, you obviously have a knack!
