HelloSmile Ok I need some suggestions.I am redoing our boys room and painted twin bed nice pure white color, working on the side chair that I wanted to paint the same and found storage cubbies that will also match. Yesterday my husband went and got a crib for our yougest from craigslist, I put it togather in the room and........it is cream Confused(even though looked like white and advertised as white).Yes for some it might not matter, but it bothers me that it does not match. So I was thinking about repainting the crib, but it looks like it would be a pain.It's a simple all staight lines , but with the brush I think it will take forever. I have seen a comercial for the spray paint from Lowes that looked easy, but I just do not know if it's safe????? Should I just repaint the bed and the chair cream, since it's all large peices(this end up furniture)
Thank you

Since the crib will only be used for a short time, and you want to paint it anyway why don't you paint the crib a pretty accent color like dark blue or Green (boy/girl). The white on the twin beds will go with anything, forever.

I would not paint a crib period. Babies chew and it is such a short time that you use it.

Or look for a white crib and list the one you bought back on craigslist. But don't paint.
