Retro Refurbishing

My mother had an old 60's vintage Petersen Metal High Chair in her attic. We recently drug it out because my niece is now in need of a high chair. It was not in the greatest condition . The high chair had been attacked by mice. The 60's yellow , green, and orange flower power vinyl on the cushions was chewed up and so was the plastic feeding tray. So we refurbished it and it only cost us $10.00 and a little bit of time. I still wanted it to have a vintage feel so I went with an Owl fabric that had some retro colors in it. Plus it can be used for a boy baby or a girl. My Brother mike was able to make a tray out of wood and paint it white, then he secured a place mat on top so that we can wipe off the tray easily.

The owl fabric I picked out.... I LOVE BIRDS!
                                                  

TADA!! Cushions done with the help of my Dad and a staple gun!
We also covered them in clear vinyl to protect from food spillage.





Debut of the new wood tray, my brother Mike took the fittings off of the
old tray and affixed them to the new wooden one...Thanks Mike!
