Apply a second coat of paint to the crib.
It is best to use neutral colors like white yellow etc as they re bright and lively and will likely translate better to the new decor as the child ages.
I was hesitant at first because it was brown and i was really hoping to have a white crib in baby girl s nursery.
Using spray paints is not advisable as it can t easily reach the inside of the slats.
Here are a few tips to make that happen.
Continue with the painting and drying cycle until the color of the crib reaches your expectations.
