Oil Cloth Love

Oh heavens. I believe I have a new addiction.

Oil cloth.

My mom has one of those older highchairs that clips onto the table. She decided she doesn’t want it anymore and I’ve decided that our kitchen is to small for our bulky highchair, so I told her I’d take it off her hands. The only thing about this particular chair is the fabric is… dated and not in a good way. So I decided I’ll make a new seat for it using oil cloth. This, of course, prompted an Etsy search on oil cloth and look and the beauties I’ve found!! The only problem will be is deciding which print I like the best. I have a feeling that my table is going to be decked out in a pretty print as well 🙂

Oh, I’m really going to have a hard time trying to decide which one I like the best. I have to remember that the frame I’m working with is navy blue with yellow hardware (or plasticware as it may be)and I’d kinda like the fabric to not be overly girly as Drew will get to the first kid to actually use it…

What do you guys think?
