I am a sucker for small kid chairs. Especially ones that look like vintage school chairs. I think this became a love for me because growing up we (me and my 3 sisters) always had a play house. We moved 3 times and our Dad always built a special structure for us.
The only real remnant that I have from those days is a little white wrought iron chair. It's like an ice cream parlor chair. My own girl sits at her tiny table now on that same chair. And being such a heavy little chair it has worn well.
So I when I saw this little doll high chair (shown above in the middle) at my local thrift I knew it was one to have. For $5! There is no tray for the top. But I think I can take off the hardware and fill it in with a wood filler and sand it down. Then paint it (my fav color of blue) and add a little cushion. Doesn't it look cute with the other little chairs in my collection.

I did it! Looking forward to seeing what others link to!
I have two folding red chairs that my kids used when they were really little. They could pull up a seat at the coffee table and enjoy some crackers with peanut butter. My kids are teens now, but I'm not letting them go. Too many memories.
I love mini-anything. (I collect mini-food and dinosaurs) and with no kids I do have to resist the chairs. I especially love the mini mid-century modern style ones because they're so rare and unexpected.
Your collection is adorable! Please update us when you finish the makeover!
