I bought a secondhand crib with my kids and painted it. My oldest is 39 now. I’ve been flipping furniture most of my adult life but never really for profit. This crib is so much nicer in the white! ♥️✌🏼
We can’t resell cribs in our community. So my neighbor gave me hers for free 10 years ago! It’s all due to safety regulations that have gotten much stricter over the years (for good reason)!
This crib turned out so good. No telling how long it would have taken you if you wouldn't have sprayed it. Spray painting is definitely a game changer. Thanks Lauren for another great video !!
What a beautiful job you did I always enjoy your DIYs and all your information and teachings have helped so many of us we love you and Nieman thank you for sharing and God bless you and your family
I love doing pieces for the little ones. Makes you smile knowing that furniture is for the one thing in the world that is the most important to someone and they choose you to do it for them. ❤❤ I really need to try this all in one paint.
👏👏👏
Goodness! Gorgeous! What a beautiful set, so timeless. 😍 Melange for the win!
I also just picked up a
4 in 1 crib for my niece.
I can't wait to get started now to see the end result, And my nieces face after she also sees the end result.
Thank you
Wow that looks so good! Amazing what a little paint can do🤍
That crib is beautiful and you did a great job! You are just a pro at this craft and talent! Great video!
Looks brand new - beautiful job.
Beautiful color and the dresser and crib definitely compliment each other so nicely ...Soo pretty 🥰👍
thank you! 🤗
Nice job! I just got this sprayer and can't wait to use it.
Omg, love love love this. I just did a side table in my newborns room to match the rest of the furniture I was gifted.
What a difference you made to this crib! 👏👏👏
very beautiful to use
I just painted my grandsons old bed for my other daughters first baby... it took a lot of time but was so worth it! I hand sanded and brush painted!
That's awesome! What kind of brush did you use to paint?
Love the baby bed
Lauren the crib looks beautiful. I imagine that crib would have been very expensive, very classy 👏👏👏
So pretty, insane how lovely it turned out!
thank you Mandy 🤗
Nice job, crib looks beautiful!
Howdy!!!!!!!! Blessing to y’all and the community 💜🙌💜
Beautiful!!! 🤍🤍🤍
Love your videos! I don't know if it's the teacher in you, but you explain things so well. Thank You.
I think it turned out beautiful. I painted a crib I purchased for my grandson but I used Paint and sealer with no VOC’s. I would have never thought of that and just happened to watch a video that mentioned this.
What paint did you use?
Beautiful job!!
Turned out awsome.
thank you!
I just want to mention that anytime you are looking to buy used furniture, please check for recalls. I used to work for a women's ministry that took in used furniture, including car seats. Nothing went back out the door without being run for a possible recall. You can go to the manufacturers website and run the serial number and date of manufacture. Honestly, you can purchase brand new and there still be a recall. My daughter-in-law had that happen to her. Thankfully, she had sent the warranty card in and the company contacted her. It's your baby's life! Please be careful 🙏 ❤. Lauren, beautiful job on both! 🙂👍👶
It looks great. Keep in mind some things are sought after in wood colors nowadays, look into the boho style and see how you can make furniture fit into the boho style and you’ll definitely make money in that market.
I soooo needed this!! Thank you!! I’m expecting my very first grandchild!! We find out on VDay the gender, I’m hoping for a girl since I have 3 sons but most importantly all we want is a healthy baby and healthy Mommy!! BUT I’m totally making a nursery at my house so when the baby comes to stay he/she will have a beautiful room!! Thank you so much Lauren!!
Love it. So releaved that you used the sprayer . At first I thought you were going to use it brush and I thought I was going to have to have a fit watching you brush it LOL. I refinished a dresser changing table combo recently that I'm having a problem selling. I didn't pay it much at all for it I believe 20 bucks I'm holding my price on it thinking it's just the holidays is why it's not selling right now 🤷
🎄🎄🎄love this different/unique post 🎄🎄🎄
Wooooow…it’s very pretty, but I can’t imagine that someone would pay $400 for a used crib! My son and daughter-in-law just bought a brand new white convertible crib for less than $100. 😳
Agree.
Seems excessive. If it took 6hrs and the total spend was $100, that's an hourly rate of around $50!!!!!!!
Only a fool would thrift a crib and then pay silly money to have it painted. In between coats drying FFT will be working on other projects and charging both customers for the same time. Not sure that's fair.
You are amazing! Thanks for the tips
Hi Lauren. Great cot makeover. We call it a cot
Very nice job !
thanks!!
My granddaughter just got a crib like this but said she wants it just touched up and leave it in the wood tone.
I sent her your video to show her how pretty your turned out.
Is the paint non-toxic? That’s one of the reasons I’ve never painted a crib. A lot of babies tend to chew on the top rail when they get old enough to stand and I don’t want the paint coming off. 😐
DIY products don’t have any VOC’s. Mine came out gorgeous!
yep! this paint is food grade & no VOC’s!
I think melange paint is low VOC’s. I could be wrong🤷♀️
is probably not safe but they are painted by manufacturer and the paint is not safe either. milk paint will be a good option
Thanks for sharing.
My kids' crib became their toddler bed and is now a full size bed for my 15 year old.
If I wanted a specific designed crib and a specific colour I would buy a second hand one and paint it the colour I wanted. Goodness people it was a commissioned piece , just leave it at that.
Hey ma’am. You should really post this video on the melange group my friend. It would expose your page as well as I know you know and it would our newbies in the group to learn! ❤️❤️
Question. If you were to have a top coat what is a recommended one to use? I grabbed some ace paint but wasn’t sure on a top coat and I don’t want the paint to accidentally chip when baby starts chewing or what have you. Thank you for the video and it was great tips!
Thank you! Do we have sand the crib before paint?
Did you also paint the side rails needed for the bed to be used as a full-size bed in future?
Any advice on how to turn a painted (factory painted) crib into a natural wood crib? I want to buy a cheap crib but its factory painted like the one you have in the video and I would love a light natural wood instead.
How did you sand the sides of the slats? Did your sander fit between the slats or did you sand with a sheet of sandpaper or didn’t they need to be sanded?? The video did not show that.
If you didn’t have a sprayer how would you go about getting in between the bars with a brush??
I see you have a airless paint sprayer. Do you like more then the Flexio?
How many bottles of the paint did you need to use to cover that dark brown?
Did you take all the hardware out including all the bolts and dowels before painting?
I can’t imagine if you used a brush! You would still be painting.
ahhahaha so true 😂
How big is the town you live in ?
I assume to flip furniture, a big town/ city would be best, right ?
I have a question, when you do chair flips its always upholstered, do you advise against doing leather? They seem to always be popping up free on marketplace. :)
It’s beautiful!
Girl you need to invest in some paint pyramids
Flat dollies
Car dollies
And some high risers to save you knees and back! 😳
You’re young now and it may not bothering you
But sister, as you age you are gonna wished you got the right
Tools to save you body. I just care about ya, so no offense ❤️
How much of paperie white did you mix with perfect white?
Lauren, do you find that you use more paint using a sprayer than you would if you were brushing it on?
yes, a little bit. but weighing the options of time vs product used. I would choose time 😀
Can I just paint white primer instead of sanding?
I'm just wondering how much that paint even costs.
I've got a feeling it may be a tad expensive.
But I do love how the crib turned out.
I guess you really do get what you pay for.
I was watching another channel just to see what was done, I was saying ok you washed down the paintwork, but why did you not take the glass out of the product, instead of taking it off with a blade, why are you not taking off the handles, why are you not sanding, OMG good job your pieces are for you and not a customer, I will be following your style, just love your work, you are the best. I will be preping, removing hardware, sanding, painting sanding etc, etc, etc, keep up the good work.
👍
Good flip but I was told cribs shouldn't be painted because the child will later start teething and will bite on the rails and of course that's not healthy, I was told this when my 2nd grandbaby was born and I mentioned painting the crib, is this right or does it depend on the paint?
you want to be careful which paint you use. making sure its low/no VOC and water based & non toxic.
@@FurnitureFlippingTeacher thank you very much for the advice, have a wonderful day/weekend and keep on flipping 😁
BEAUTIFUL ❣🥰😇
thank you!
Do you think cribs can make great flips? I was told by a friend not to do it, but what is your opinion? Thank y;ou
I think if you’re using the right paints tools etc they aren’t bad. I definitely wouldn’t base my business around it. maybe if I were a new parent I would look into it as opposed to buying new. I most likely wouldn’t buy a crib and try to sell it but you do it for clients
@@FurnitureFlippingTeacher thanks Lauren. I can’t invest in large pieces of furniture. I don’t have a truck or large vehicle, so I’m trying to stick to pieces I can fit in my Honda. 😉❤️
I love redoing the baby crib, however, could you please tell your audience what the standards are when they are buying a crib. The slats have to be a certain distance apart for example. This one made me a little nervous. Great painting, but worried about people buying a crib that will bring them some problems. Paint itself must be of a certain type too.
It made you nervous?? 🙄 it's not your crib, not your baby so there is no need for concern.
Cribs are supposed to be painted with paint that has 0 VOC not low VOC for the safety of the baby.
This looks great, but I hope that if this is sold it doesn't affect someone's child negatively.
Beautiful set but I am JUST CURIOUS why somebody would pay $400 for a used crib when new ones of that type are like $200-300 bucks!?? Not trying to be rude at all but unless this crib was handed down many generations, wanted a specific custom color or was centimental in some way I cannot see them just buying a new one?
This was a commission so the client knew the cost beforehand and agreed the estimated range.
@@ginaburgess9759 I am just curious why somebody would pay that double the price for a used crib over a new crib...unless it was a custom color or a piece that has been in their family for generations. I realize this set was a commission but either way commission or not why would sombody pay double of what a crib would be new? Still not trying to be rude but just curious...
@@angelarthrasher Lauren mentioned that the crib can be converted into a toddler bed and then a twin bed. One time investment.
@@JackieBluXO Yep I heard her,,,however most cribs convert to toddler beds that are still under $300 range...I was just asking....anytime somebody puts work into something it will costs more...I understand that but when you can buy the same thing new for way cheaper I dont understand why they invest in used items for way more. Nothing against Lauren because she does great work.
@@angelarthrasher I replied on anorher comment about this. At the start of the video, Lauren goes into detail about how much baby stuff cost and how buying 2nd hand is a great money saver. Yet the end of the video contradicts this.
I know the idea is to paint it yourself, but not everyone is confident enough to do that. Thrifting a crib and then having it painted for those prices is not cost effective, and still out of the reach for most new parents.
Things have changed with FFT, regardless of the charity aspect of the venture, it has suddenly become dollarcentric. Very disappointing.
Hmmm🤔...good practice for your own children's furniture some day😉
🤣🤣
Malon paint child safe? It's important for anything young children might chew on or put in their mouth be painted with paint that have a child safety approval.
Wouw. Is a lot of money. Many people would ptobably choose new furniture cos of it. I would do it a bit cheaper.
Just a word of warning for Europeans all paint for babies and children must meet BS EN 7-3; 201 standard also many countries will no permit painted or finished baby furniture to be re sold. Not even low VOC paint can be used it must be VOC free.
My daughter painted her daughter's crib blue cause she was having a boy, he is one now
awe that’s awesome!!
