I already had a white dresser and wardrobe so kept it simple. And also since I wasn't buying a 'set' of furniture, with white, you don't have to worry about matching wood colors. I do have a cherry rocking horse and rocking chair in the room that fit right in. (But when I was looking at cherry cribs, the finishes still varied so much!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-is-your-crib#post-2267970 Thu, 20 Aug 2015 08:57:56 +0000 rattles 2267970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD1's crib was in a mini crib that was dark wood. Her nursery had white walls and was full of bright, colorful accessories. </p> <p>We got a full-sized crib for DD2 and painted it Benjamin Moore's Symphony Blue (between navy and cobalt). We bought their no VOC paint and had them put it into spray cans for us. I LOVE the way it came out. Her room is painted SW Inspired Lilac and has a natural, mid-tone wood dresser, bookshelf and rocking chair. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-is-your-crib#post-2267902 Thu, 20 Aug 2015 08:18:44 +0000 Bubbles 2267902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours is light grey but I painted it to be like that - it was originally dark wood. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-is-your-crib#post-2267834 Thu, 20 Aug 2015 07:10:24 +0000 Smurfette 2267834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dark wood and I wish we did white, like I wanted. I let DH talk me into it. The dark wood is much harder to decorate with in my opinion when the bed will convert into a full bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-is-your-crib#post-2267775 Thu, 20 Aug 2015 05:18:08 +0000 BSB 2267775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Charm54: Oh, black crib with gray walls sound great!

Liked the white but I thought too girly for my boy. Got them both the same cribs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-is-your-crib#post-125448 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 19:12:05 +0000 cvbee 125448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went with white for a couple of reasons (and it is wood). 1) easier to match, since we aren't getting a 'set'. 2) it is in our bedroom and it would also be hard to match another wood with our bedroom set, so white is a better match than another wood, in my opinion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-is-your-crib#post-125444 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 19:07:41 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 125444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went with white, and it is wood.</p> <p>I went with a light turquoise wall color and I just felt like any other color furniture would look silly with it. Also, my grandparents were gifting me an antique dresser and I wanted something that would match. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-is-your-crib#post-125414 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 18:46:17 +0000 winniebee 125414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dark brown and made of wood (for our boy!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-is-your-crib#post-125397 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 18:35:50 +0000 mrs. wagon 125397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always loved all-white nursery furniture so that's what it is! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-is-your-crib#post-125391 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 18:33:52 +0000 mediagirl 125391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>White!

We were given it and it's been used only once or twice so it's quite new. We don't have a dresser yet, but the twin bed that will be in the room is a pine colour. So no matching sets for us, just whatever we can pull together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-is-your-crib#post-18917 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 19:05:58 +0000 Navy_Mommy 18917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since I put some pictures up on the internet I couldn't help but show off my yellow crib...</p> <p><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Ka2_n9cygTg/TslM2fLTYzI/AAAAAAAAAa4/dNFtVhuip_Q/s1600/12+DIY_crib_refinish_assembled2.JPG" rel="nofollow">http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Ka2_n9cygTg/TslM2fLTYzI/AAAAAAAAAa4/dNFtVhuip_Q/s1600/12+DIY_crib_refinish_assembled2.JPG</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-is-your-crib#post-18595 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 21:19:27 +0000 autumnlove 18595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>our nursery walls are painted lavender and we have a white crib! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-is-your-crib#post-18578 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 20:01:56 +0000 pelikila 18578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our crib is an expresso stained wood.

We are going to a medium/dark grey for the walls, and then yellow/grey/white fabrics, so the white seemed like the best fit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-is-your-crib#post-18575 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 19:48:19 +0000 BSB 18575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@leelee: That's a great point.

The nursery will be lavender with green accents, so we feel white would go better than a darker color. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-is-your-crib#post-18524 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 15:28:20 +0000 Navy_Mommy 18524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got our crib used and although it was in perfect condition I chose to paint it yellow! It was the biggest pain in the ass EVER but I actually just put it together and it looks PERFECT!</p> <p>The dresser/changing table combo I got (with the crib) is a light natural wood and I'm keeping it like that, although I have considered refinishing the fronts of the drawers with mod podge and patterned paper...that is still up in the air though.</p> <p>There are TONS of restrictions on painting in our house so I'm trying to add color/visual interest in other ways! </p>
