Medium Oak Colored Crib

BarnesoBarneso
in 2nd Trimester

My Mom offered a crib to me that she had from my nephew.  I was under the impression that it was white and so I'm going to pick it up on Monday (she lives a couple of hours from me).  Found out today that it is Medium-Colored Oak, not white.

I'm dismayed but still happy not to have to pay for a crib.  My question is, I feel like my bedding options are limited because of the color of the crib.

Do you think this would work...?

    One more related question...

    Also, if you think the bedding would work with that kind of crib, what color do you think I should paint?  I like the color in the picture of this bedding but do you think it would probably be smarted to paint a light tan/beige color?

    I personally think it would be fine - I'm guessing the lighter brown in the bedding will be pulled out more by the crib color.

    FWIW, our crib is a medium oak color. All of our woodwork is this color so it works well in our home & I'm personally not a fan of white. I didn't worry too much about "matching" the woodwork, but our bedding also doesn't have browns in it.

    GL!

    Thank you - I think the Medium Oak color can look awesome... I just wasn't sure what bedding would go well with it, especially for a boy, which is what we're having.

    I'm probably just over-thinking!

     

    Thanks for the input.

    I think it will look fine! And you probably are over thinking.

    I would probably paint a beige/tan also.

    On another note, u are making me feel extremely far behind. you are 16.5 weeks and already know the sex and have a crib and have your bedding picked out!!!

    If you have a big room, I think the brown would be fine for paint, you could also do a light blue. We also took a hand me down crib because we need so many things that we'd rather save since it is in such good condition, it's light oak and impossible to match. I think the bedding you picked would go just fine.

    We had a really experienced ultrasound tech with awesome equipment at our NT Scan.  She told us boy and we had two doctors in the office tell us boy too.

    In a way, we lucked out.  In another way... We found out so early, we don't have lots of "milestones" to look forward to now.  Just waiting for LO to kick!
