We did the same thing for my daughter’s nursery furniture! We got her crib for $20 and dresser for $15, and then we just painted them to match! Yours turned out so great!! 👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you for mentioning that the paint is safe for babies. I had a son and had a ton of boyish furniture (crib, changing table, etc) and now that I am having a girl, I don’t want to buy new furniture. This gives me hope that I can repurpose what i already have 👍
Very educational video! Short and simple to the point. Thank you for sharing your experience and guiding us through the painting process. I never used chalk paint and wasn’t sure. However this is a fantastic option with the distressing. Also I found from you about this super safe paint. Thanks again!
My husband and I are going to repaint our daughters crib for our baby boy due in January 2021! It's a brown crib and we are repainting it white to match all the other furniture in our daughters room which she will now be sharing. Thank you for the video because I wasn't really sure how to go about how to paint it and with your video I now do!
Primer was my concern too. It’s actually best to use a primer on all furniture etc … because it creates a porous finish which is better for your main color to adhere to , it also helps your chosen paint to become its truer color .
Thanks for the video! Do you think sanding the gloss off the entire crib would have been beneficial for the paint sticking better, or does the paint adhere fine without sanding?
I know this is two year old video- but hopefully I can still get a response. Did you have any troubles with chipping? I'm repainting our crib, and I worry about the paint chipping into their mouth if they start teething on it.
Did you have to sand the whole thing? I'm wanting to repaint mine, but since the crib I have now has a glossy finish, I'm just trying to figure out if I need to sand the entire thing first before adding the paint
I only sanding areas with bite marks and scuffs with a sanding sponge to smooth those areas out, otherwise you don’t need to prep with sanding or primer if you are using the same paint I did 😊
Thank you for the video I was about to send the whole thing down to Wood thank you for the paint research how to get to work on mine taken of white with pink I don’t know about doing a video but maybe I’ll email you a picture before and after of course
Was the crib waxed? Only ask because I wanted to know did you have to sand the whole crib first ...I want to paint my baby's crib but it's waxed wood and I don't know if I can just paint it with the right paint or if I need to sand it
I LOVE this!! This is so inspirational! I just started nesting and wanted to do this with my crib but I am having trouble with your paint link, how much paint did you guys use?
I’ve noticed a few people asked about the amount of paint you used. I am curious also. Did 1 quart do the trick? Thank you ! So excited to paint our crib!
My crib is even lighter than yours (much lighter it's a light grey) I used the same paint and I'm on coat 3 and can still see the grey through it heavily. What am I doing wrong
Great video! What color did you use? Also did you find that 1 quart of paint was enough, or did you need more than one quart of paint? Thank you for this tutorial!
With the lullaby paint do I have to sand it down first ? Or could I possibly just paint over it ? My fiancé and I are very excited to repaint the crib it’s like a bonding moment❤️🤗😌
Hello Niaa (or Nate 😉) You DONT have to sand it down if the wood is smooth, but you can if you want to. If your wood is very rough it would be a good idea to do a light sand, but again, if the wood is pretty smooth it is not necessary. Hope this helps! Also, we are very excited for you guys, it is a great bonding moment that you two will remember for the rest of your lives 🤗 What color did you choose?
It’s so pretty. You both did a great job on the painting👍🏻 isn’t this the crib where you can take later and use it to create a full size bed with the headboard and “footboard”??
We bought a half gallon which came in two quart sizes and didn’t even use a whole quart for the crib- I would recommend a half gallon just to be safe for two cribs. And, congratulations!!
sweet heart no this is baby blue aka solían splash color for both times. I just started painting my crib today with same paint color and it looks white first. Doing the 2nd part tomorrow. But it’s def blue/ minty color
I am in the process of painting the crib, we used TSP to wash the crib down -- really helps taking off anything that will make the paint not stick
I did the same on a changing station going from wood to white it worked really well using TSP first
What is tsp? I have to paint 2 cribs
how did he get out of the crib without getting paint on him? 🧐🧐 lol

Wow!! That’s such a good deal!

did you all use a primer or no? do you happen to remember how much paint you needed to buy?
You both did a terrific job on the crib. Thank you for all the tips you gave on how to do this. Have a bless day.
Thank you, Donna!
Wow, really excited to paint the baby crib
I'm curious how this paint has held up. I noticed you didn't use a primer, which I think is because this paint may not require that step.
Thanks!
What does the primer do?
Primer was my concern too.

@@monnicamae1533 keep the paint on better

Thank you, that is so sweet of you! we enjoy doing stuff together 😊
Thanks for sharing this process. That color is beautiful! Sending prayers and love. ♥
The after came out AMAZING!
Thank you!!
That is the prettiest color of blue. Came out gorgeous.
I am getting ready to paint my headboard & dresser. They are old & nothing matches.
Mary
Thank you, Mary!! What color are you planning on painting them?
Thanks for the info. It looks great! Going to try and refinish an old crib we have as well.
I know this is two year old video- but hopefully I can still get a response. Did you have any troubles with chipping? I'm repainting our crib, and I worry about the paint chipping into their mouth if they start teething on it.
Nope, there hasn’t been any issues with chipping 😊

You video just save me at lot money, thank you so much for upload it and take the time to record the process! 👏👏👍👍😁😁

Is this a stupid question... how did your husband get out of the crib from the inside??
Hi, so you didn’t need a primer? I’m buying the same paint but I read you should use a primer if the wood is dark and you’re using a light paint
Was the crib waxed? Only ask because I wanted to know did you have to sand the whole crib first ...I want to paint my baby's crib but it's waxed wood and I don't know if I can just paint it with the right paint or if I need to sand it
Good question! I believe it was, and this paint can literally be used over just about anything.
Now I can redo my one month olds crib! I know what I'll be doing 😀
Awesome! I’m so happy this helped you ❤️😊
Amazing job! Did you add any finish layer after the paint? Thanks
No finish. The paint we used did not require it 🤗
I LOVE this!! This is so inspirational! I just started nesting and wanted to do this with my crib but I am having trouble with your paint link, how much paint did you guys use?
We bought a half gallon, but used less than a quart. I hope that helps! Congratulations!
I’ve noticed a few people asked about the amount of paint you used. I am curious also. Did 1 quart do the trick? Thank you ! So excited to paint our crib!
For us yes!! Excited for you to paint your crib as well! What color did you choose? Let us know how it turns out 🤗
Hi, does anyone know if I need to sand/strip the color/polish of a brown crib to repaint it in a lighter color?
Super helpful video! Thank you so much!
If there is nicks in the wood, would you recommend filling it (and what would you recommend filling it with)?
You can if you want, but the nicks ad character to the wood 🤗
My crib is even lighter than yours (much lighter it's a light grey) I used the same paint and I'm on coat 3 and can still see the grey through it heavily. What am I doing wrong
Great video! What color did you use? Also did you find that 1 quart of paint was enough, or did you need more than one quart of paint? Thank you for this tutorial!
Im also curious if 1 quart is enough?
Hello my friend! Did you applied a protective coat after?
With the paint we used we did not have to use a protective coat 👍🏻
Very nice video. Very detailed. Thank you.
With the lullaby paint do I have to sand it down first ? Or could I possibly just paint over it ? My fiancé and I are very excited to repaint the crib it’s like a bonding moment❤️🤗😌

@@BrylanandLisa we have a neutral color grey And thank for the reply 😊
How many cans did u use? I’m repainting my daughters mini crib just trying to ballpark how much paint I’ll need
i was looking for that too. She said in other replies that she used less than 1 quart.
So beautiful!
Love you guys!
Thank you Elisabeth!
We’re repainting ours gray!
AWESOME!!! How did it turn out?
Wish you’d video him getting out of the crib 😆
He is actually still in the crib...we were never able to get him out 😂
It’s so pretty. You both did a great job on the painting👍🏻 isn’t this the crib where you can take later and use it to create a full size bed with the headboard and “footboard”??
Yes, and it actually came with a toddler rail for in between those stages. I forgot to mention that in the video. It will last us for a long time 😊
Gorgeous!
I used the same paint..my husband primed the crib first and the painted it..it didnt come out ad as nice
What size paint did you use?? I was looking into this type of paint but were having twins so we need to paint two cribs :)
We bought a half gallon which came in two quart sizes and didn’t even use a whole quart for the crib- I would recommend a half gallon just to be safe for two cribs. And, congratulations!!
You mentioned Bye Bye Baby......but on the can it says "Bed, Bath, And Beyond"???? I am not being critical, just curious???? It was a pretty color !
holiday 2406 super late lol but bed bath and beyond OWN buy buy baby (:
What coupon did you use for the paint?
If you sign up for emails through BuyBuyBaby they send you a coupon 😊
Did u paint it with White the first time and second it’s baby blue ?
sweet heart no this is baby blue aka solían splash color for both times. I just started painting my crib today with same paint color and it looks white first. Doing the 2nd part tomorrow. But it’s def blue/ minty color
Did you guys need more than one can of paint
I'd like to know as well!
Thanks. My sister just gave me the same exact one for free. With only a few teething marks.
AWESOME! 🙌🏻
I re did a desk
I love offer up! You got a good deal.
How fun. Looks great. Is baby here?
I would say so lol
Did you use any topcoat?
No, the paint did require it 👍🏻
Looks very Nice
Does it scratch easy??
Ours does not scratch easy 🤗
The paint isn’t harmful or Anthony
exactly, it’s designed to be safe for baby and child furniture 😊
nice vid
The distressing ruined it for me!
To each their own 😂 I love the distressed look!
