High chair for Lucy!

I have been looking for a high chair for weeks, trying to find just the right one with a good price. If you dont know high chairs are not cheap! I mean come on! $120 for a high chair!!! The kid is only going to mess it all up with baby food. Of course you can get a really cheap high chair at walmart but I wonder just how long will that last. Last week at work I mentioned to my co work just how expensive high chairs are when she told me that she had a sister in law who was going to try to sell hers and said that she would be willing to give it to me for free!! Score I thought!! My co worker brought it to work the next day and we loaded it into my tiny car. My first impression...WHAT A MESS!! The chair it self was in perfect working condition but looked like it had been in a food fight. I was told it had been sitting in their garage for some time. Which would explain the layers of dirt and cat hair. There was a huge spider web on the bottom and the seat cushion had bleach marks. I thought well if anything I will just give it away to someone if I can get it clean enough to use. After work I picked up Lucy and ran to the dollar store, purchased $4.25 worth of cleaning supplies and headed home. After nearly 4 hours meticulous cleaning I was finished. Pleased with how well the chair cleaned up I decided that it would stay except the cushion, that would need to be redone. I found some really adorable fabric at Joann and some vinyl covering to help protect the fabric and make it easy to clean. So another $11 and woah-laa a almost new high chair for $15!
