1) The choice of paint<\/h2>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/tinidoo.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/peinture-esprit-boheme-commode.jpg” alt=”eco-friendly baby paints and varnishes” title_text=”eco-friendly-baby-paints-and-varnishes” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”27px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
Safety<\/strong> is very important when it comes to children’s furniture<\/strong>.<\/span><\/span> Choose paint that is certified VOC-free (volatile organic compounds), lead-free, and non-toxic.<\/span><\/span> Look for paints with ecologic labels<\/strong> or that comply with toy conformity.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Also, don’t forget to check that the finishing varnish is safe for babies.<\/span><\/span> This is important to consider when considering that baby food will be in contact with the upholstery of the high chair.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”preparation” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding=”26px||37px|||”][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font_size=”30px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
2) Preparation of the support<\/h2>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/tinidoo.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/chaise-haute-bebe-rose.jpg” alt=”high wooden chair” title_text=”high-wooden-chair” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”52px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
Proper preparation is essential to ensure lasting results.<\/span><\/span> Here are the steps to follow: <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\n- C<\/span><\/span><\/strong>leaning<\/strong>: Clean the high chair with soapy water to remove grease and dirt.<\/span><\/span> You can use Marseille soap<\/strong>, for example.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
- Sanding<\/strong>: Lightly sand the surface to remove old paint or varnish and create a bonding base<\/strong> for the new paint.<\/span><\/span> This is an important step if the chair had previously been painted with a glycerine-type paint.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
- Dusting<\/strong>: Use a damp cloth or wipe to remove all sanding dust.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
<\/p>\n
In this case, the STOKKE high chair<\/strong> had already been painted by the previous owner.<\/span><\/span> Therefore, not knowing if the paint was safe for a child, a thorough sanding<\/strong> was performed.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”proteger” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#f7f7f7″ global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding=”32px||39px|||”][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font_size=”30px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
3) Hide certain parts<\/h2>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/tinidoo.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/ruban-de-masquage-1.jpg” alt=”masking tape” title_text=”masking-tape” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”46px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
Certain parts of the high chair, such as straps<\/strong> or mechanical parts, should not be painted.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Use masking tape<\/strong> to cover these areas and maintain their functionality.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”apliquer” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding=”33px||36px|||”][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font_size=”30px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
4) Apply the paint<\/h2>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/tinidoo.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Vert-foret.jpg” alt=”green baby highchair” title_text=”green-baby-highchair” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”29px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
To achieve a consistent and durable finish<\/strong>, apply the paint in thin coats.<\/span><\/span> Follow these tips: <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\n- Use a quality brush<\/strong> or a small roller for flat surfaces.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
- Allow each coat to dry<\/strong> completely before applying another coat (consult the manufacturer’s instructions for drying time).<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
- Allow at least two to three coats<\/strong> for good coverage.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

The STOKKE chair<\/strong> was painted with Tinidoo’s “Forest Green” paint.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”vernis” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#f9f9f9″ global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding=”28px||35px|||”][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font_size=”30px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
5) Apply a varnish<\/h2>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/tinidoo.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/vernis-pour-jouets-en-bois-et-lit-bebe.jpg” alt=”varnish for wooden toys and baby beds” title_text=”varnish-for-wooden-toys-and-baby-beds” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”46px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
To ensure optimal durability and protection<\/strong>, apply a top coat<\/strong>.<\/span><\/span> <\/span>Choose a water-based matte or satin finish<\/strong>, which is non-toxic and easy to clean.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\nThis finish will protect the paint from scratches<\/strong>, stains, and minor everyday accidents.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”personnaliser” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”36px||31px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font_size=”30px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
6) Personalization<\/h2>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/tinidoo.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/pochoir-commode-bebe.jpg” alt=”baby dresser stencil” title_text=”baby-dresser-stencil” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”18px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
For an even more unique touch<\/strong>, consider adding patterns<\/strong> or designs.<\/span><\/span> Stencils are a great option for creating precise shapes, such as stars, hearts<\/strong>, or animals.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”entretien” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#f9f9f9″ custom_padding=”14px||34px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”9px|auto||auto||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font_size=”30px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
