As I type this, I can literally feel every music teacher and musician I've ever known cringing.
Before. A sad, beat up piano. |
Just a sample of some of the damage. |
Lonely piano leg, table for 1. |
Very recently, we moved my childhood piano from my mother's house to our home. It was already very beat up, with it's varnish flaking off in every imaginable place. There was a leg that wouldn't stay on, some of the keys have coating rubbing off, and it hasn't been tuned in at least 10 years. It needed something done to it to give it new life. So I painted it Robin Egg Blue.
After a coat of primer. |
Now it's so pretty and still very much playable. |
I love it so much. It matches the canvas above the sofa almost perfectly and the pillows I made look great with the colors. As a temporary fix for the leg, we've kind of just shoved it under so the piano has more support. We're also going to bring a piano tuner in soon. I can't wait to see that reaction.
This is the living room now... |
... a far cry from what it used to be! |
In addition to the piano, we also added some Ikea shelves for storage and decor and a new floor lamp. Now it feels like a finished space.
