VINTAGE Crib and Highchair toy set BEFORE and AFTER!

A dear friend of mine asked me if I could paint and replace the fabric on this VINTAGE toy crib and highchair. I was honored to do so. My friend (Zaire) came across these as a neighbor was about to THROW THEM IN THE DUMPSTER!!!! She asked if she could have them for her nieces. HOW CRAZY THAT SOMEONE WAS ACTUALLY GONNA THROW THESE AWAY!!! The picture above is the BEFORE pic, there was a tag (UNDER PENALTY OF LAW) in the bottom of the highchair that had dates of July 3, 1926, April 24, 1929 and 1948 printed on the tags.

And here's the AFTER!!! I painted them pink and replaced the fabric with a RACHEL ASHWELL SHABBY CHIC FLORAL.

Here's the highchair......


Here's the crib....


L@@K how cute it looks with my pillows and my shabby chic bear, I so wish I could keep the toy set..hehe ;)






What a stunning differnce the after came out, I am so in love with the crib, if I had did this for myself I would have painted it WHITE and used it to store extra linens a few small throw pillows. Maybe when I go JuNkiN soon I can find me a toy crib ;)





It was hard work painting these and changing out the fabric but it was so much fun and worth my time. I hope that my friend's nieces enjoy these for years to come and who knows maybe their own daughters someday could have the pleasure of playin with this ADORABLE toy set. =D
