I have a Jenny crib and adore it. But it's red and I think I'm going to paint it yellow or mint. Let's have matching everything lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painting-a-crib#post-621441 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 15:34:52 +0000 JamieLee 621441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is planning on building our crib and we will be painting it when it's done. I just found this paint that I'm thinking about trying out. You can order samples too: <a href="http://www.quiethomepaints.com/pages/organic" rel="nofollow">http://www.quiethomepaints.com/pages/organic</a></p> <p>Also, if you don't like the plastic rail guards, they have these cute cloth ones all over etsy: <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/78617078/padded-cloth-crib-rail-protector-cover?ref=sr_gallery_7&#038;ga_search_query=Cloth+crib+teething+guard&#038;ga_view_type=gallery&#038;ga_ship_to=US&#038;ga_search_type=all&#038;ga_facet=Cloth+crib+teething+guard" rel="nofollow">http://www.etsy.com/listing/78617078/padded-cloth-crib-rail-protector-cover?ref=sr_gallery_7&#038;ga_search_query=Cloth+crib+teething+guard&#038;ga_view_type=gallery&#038;ga_ship_to=US&#038;ga_search_type=all&#038;ga_facet=Cloth+crib+teething+guard</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painting-a-crib#post-621387 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 15:25:49 +0000 rawrasaur 621387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have seen online that people have done it, but it isn't a risk I would personally take. I would certainly research which paint would be the safest to use if you choose to do so.</p> <p>ETA: I'm not a fan of modifying any baby gear - they have such strict guidelines as it is for a very good reason. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painting-a-crib#post-621377 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 15:24:16 +0000 T.H.O.U. 621377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There is no way I would do this but I guess maybe if you got organic/non toxic paint. I would guess that would be expensive though. Maybe paint plus a non-toxic sealer on it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painting-a-crib#post-621369 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 15:22:05 +0000 Sweet T 621369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd say yes! There are so many painted cribs online. I'm not sure what kind of paint would be best to use though. I googled and found a website with organic/non-toxic paint. You definitely have options. If you do paint your crib, I'd get some rail guards for when LO gets older and wants to chew on the crib. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painting-a-crib#post-621341 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 15:15:59 +0000 MrsTiz 621341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Would/could you paint a crib?</p> <p>I really like the style of the Jenny Lind cribs, and there is a white one for sale on my CL, with what looks like teeth marks on it, DH is very handy, so he could fill that..buuut could I paint it? Say, red. The whole thing?</p> <p>My concern is when the baby starts teething if they bite it? </p>
