But if you are going on top of paint already, I would probably just buy the paint that has primer built in and call it a day.

I know I moved Truman out of his crib a few months before he turned two, and Cecelia was a little earlier--mabye 19-20 months? <br /><br />It's hard to find time for projects like this, but once you get going it can be fun. I usually do projects during nap time and after bed time/on weekends and try to hammer them out quickly if possible!Julia Gooliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13784248013181090775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548039454456114385.post-67035502588995513652015-07-20T19:15:07.668-05:002015-07-20T19:15:07.668-05:00This is so inspiring and so sweet to see the same ...This is so inspiring and so sweet to see the same crib used for all 3 babes! I'm in the process of planning (and hopefully not chickening out) on painting our JL crib for #2. But all the sanding and so many steps, with a toddler too. sigh. Around what weeks in your pregnancy did you manage to paint the crib? I need to hurry but #1 is still sleeping in it and we have to transition her first.

Then later there's the restful night of kicking Dad in the back. I have a lovely crib in my basement that hardly anybody ever slept in, one child even preferring a blanket nest on our floor. But this is a lovely nursery and I hope your little sweetheart appreciates it. And if he doesn't? There's no finer place to store a mountain of stuffed animals. valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11225253082963245064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548039454456114385.post-45118615217519288852014-06-02T19:46:27.515-05:002014-06-02T19:46:27.515-05:00Hey, it's Luke's crib! ;) Looks so awesome...Hey, it's Luke's crib! ;) Looks so awesome, you did a great job!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17928807868790599467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548039454456114385.post-3697591362536303052014-06-02T17:17:23.742-05:002014-06-02T17:17:23.742-05:00Awesome awesome awesome!

You're going to have to figure out some way to turn it into a bed or something that you can keep forever in your home, once #3 outgrows the crib. Or just keep him in the crib until high school...that's my plan with Mac.

"I figure that chewing on a 'factory painted' crib is probably just as bad as chewing on one that I painted myself." So true. Never thought of it like that! We are trying for baby #2 and I am looking forward to redoing the crib. I want to use polyshades to darken the color of the wood stain. <br />The yellow looks great!The Long Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09075506652203322911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548039454456114385.post-82245756530718549232014-06-02T09:47:04.868-05:002014-06-02T09:47:04.868-05:00Thanks for sharing!
