I really love how the teal crib looks next to the yellow side table, and the custom yellow you created looks perfect! I saw you said you painted the walls Glidden Misty Moonstone and the crib Behr Teal Zeal. I'd love to feature this on my paint color blog, Involving Color.

Unfortunately, even new cribs from the store have sealers and chemicals on them too. I used spray poly to seal it. My 1st never chewed the crib so I am hoping this baby is the same. haha. If not, I will put a plastic rail protector on there. Good luck!Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04246510312476569597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-384234506675282157.post-86296990580771461332013-08-01T20:56:49.710-05:002013-08-01T20:56:49.710-05:00I understand your concern and in the end you have ...I understand your concern and in the end you have to go with your gut about painting your crib. If you have doubts don't to it. <br />A reader left a comment on Better After asking about sealer and paint and Lindsay (author of better after) had a response that I agree with 100%. She said, "brand new furniture is going to be treated with chemicals in some way too, sad truth. :/ However, there are lots of non-toxic and NO VOC paints out there, and even some organic paint brands too. I'd say that's your best bet". <br /><br />I would do lots of research and see what you are comfortable with. Sherwin Williams makes a "green" paint which I used on a crib for a client which is safe for children and babies. Also you could always add a plastic crib rail if you baby does chew. My 1st never chewed the crib so that also helped in my decision to paint the crib. <br /><br />Good luck and I hope this helps!Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04246510312476569597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-384234506675282157.post-22515570761185357562013-07-30T23:12:16.894-05:002013-07-30T23:12:16.894-05:00Hi.

A question for you though - when painting the crib were you worried at all about the paint hurting the newborn and/or baby at all? I don't know maybe if they chew on the crib or something?

I've wanted to get a used crib and freshen it up with paint but am worried about baby chewing on it and eating toxic nasties. My first child was really bad about that, he chewed absolutely EVERYTHING and kind of destroyed one rail of a crib we borrowed until we could buy our own. oops.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12866784345927537585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-384234506675282157.post-8079664336785941442013-07-30T14:14:11.432-05:002013-07-30T14:14:11.432-05:00My third baby was born about a week after your lit...My third baby was born about a week after your little girl.
