Tripp Trapp Stol Whitewash

Tripp Trapp Stol Whitewash

As a new mom, I was on the hunt for a high-quality and stylish high chair for my little one. That's when I discovered the Tripp Trapp Stol by Stokke. This versatile and adjustable chair caught my attention, but I wasn't a fan of its dark wooden finish. That's when I decided to take on a DIY project and give my Tripp Trapp Stol a whitewashed look.

How to Whitewash a Tripp Trapp Stol

Materials:

• Tripp Trapp Stol
• Sandpaper (120 grit)
