Hungry Jack


Oh what a sad little highchair! It has been banished to our garage for nearly a year. One of those "I'll get to it later" projects. We received this highchair from my best friend who got it from a man she used to rent a house from. I really wanted a highchair that blended with our breakfast nook. So, I asked her if I could buy it from her and she graciously gave it to us. But, it has collected dust for awhile now. I decided it was time Baby Hughes started eating in a high chair rather than the Bumbo. Well, his chubby little legs made that decision for me. You see, we started having a phenomenon occur that we like to call "Bumbo Butt." We would pick Baby Hughes up after eating and the Bumbo would still be attached to him. So, as usual, I got out the black paint and painted away. It needed a strap, so I ripped off the belt from his changing table pad.... I can't imagine strapping my wild one to a changing table anyhow. I found some cute green damask ribbon and hot glued it to both sides of the belt.

Then, I decided it was still missing something. I decided to put on a little label holder that I found in the scrapbook section with the words "Hungry Jack."

So here is the "after"

Hmmmm.... It seems to be missing something still....

Now it's perfect!

  3. Hi there! Just stumbled across your blog and started reading through it and I am so inspired, great ideas!
    I wanted to share that we have the very same highchair! It's one that my Husband used as a baby, and we use it for our 2 year old. Since I'm not sure if it's a gift...or a loan...from my mother in law, but I'm inspired to find out, yours turned out wonderful!!
