I'm planning a nursery for our second child and trying to be very thrifty. We were lucky enough to find someone had a left an old Jenny Lind crib in our attic after we moved into our house.

I am wondering if you remember the exact spray paint you used from Rustoleum. I see several different yellows (warm yellow, sun yellow, marigold), finishes (multi-purpose gloss spray), etc. I want to be sure to use something that works and is the right color but is also non-toxic.

Question - did you do this while pregnant? I'm just 13 weeks along, so size-wise, it's no big deal. Just wasn't sure if we were supposed to paint or not, so if you'd done it pregnant, I was gonna do it myself, and if not, I was gonna outsource the job to my mother or husband :) <br /><br />Thanks so Kristin Pressleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01613469523756832742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5530905133201599492.post-23820227268630595252012-04-23T10:50:57.547-07:002012-04-23T10:50:57.547-07:00Hey Michelle,

I could imagine this being an issue if your using a brush, but I don't suggest doing that as it would take years to finish!! I hope this helps :)<br /><br />MelissaMelissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08731686624110880199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5530905133201599492.post-12744708735852257082012-04-22T08:35:44.221-07:002012-04-22T08:35:44.221-07:00How did you keep the paint from plugging up the ho...How did you keep the paint from plugging up the holes for the screws?

The only problem is that the painted has rubbed off slightly on the side that we use the drop rails, from pulling them up & down, but its not bad. If you use a plastic spray paint specifically it might work better. It's worth a shot and the paint isn't expensive.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08731686624110880199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5530905133201599492.post-37126741788117739812012-01-30T11:45:08.767-08:002012-01-30T11:45:08.767-08:00This is so great!
