Crib Makeover

We were given our crib by a good friend, and it was well "loved"  by Wyatt, as made evident by the many teeth marks all over it. When I was preparing the new nursery for Lincoln I decided that  new paint was not enough... it needed a new look.

Before:  

During:

First: I started by cutting the bead board paneling so that it would fit in the end caps.

Second: Then I cut off the rounded top of the end caps, and put a 1x3 across the top with a piece of trim under that.

Last Step: Sanded it completely down  followed by , 2 coats of primer, followed by a topcoat.

After:

Ta-Da  a little elbow grease and a sheet of  bead board go a long way!
