House project #2 really took the wind out of my motivated sails. I am happy to say that I will never be spray painting a piece of furniture larger than a picture frame again. Poor attitude aside, Abel's crib looks much better painted Ivory Bisque, even with the imperfections that 7 cans of spray paint and 2 cans of finishing spray left behind.
This crib was given to us from a family that had used it for their 4 children. So it's been loved. It's previous color was a warm honey wood tone, which is my least favorite wood stain. It's not my dream crib, but I think it looks much nicer now, with the antiquey vibe. Abel happily welcomed his crib back, after 7 weeks!
Now I need to paint the kids room so the crib doesn't look like it si melting into the wall. I'm thinking polka dots in bright muted colors and different sizes...let me know if you see anything like this in print.

Bright muted colors? Isn't that some what of an oxymoron? I've seen patterns like that, I believe at Home Depot of all places. They have some cool ideas for kids rooms, little templates to check out...if you have one by you that is;)
But the crib looks cool, even though the white is my least favorite color heheh.
you should totally do decals. it would be way easier.
decals would be perfect! i'm on the hunt. thx liz!
