The back alley has been very forthcoming this summer! Another find I scored… just a plain wooden Ikea highchair that was headed for the land fill.

I’m in the middle of priming something (argh).

I grabbed it and immediately knew it would look soooooooo much better if it was bright red. Another trip to Home Depot where I bought 2 cans of Rustoleum spray paint in apple red.

Here’s the before and after pics:

Hope you like it!
