This piano was my first vintage piece of furniture. I bought it almost 14 years ago at an estate sale. She was in a basement under magazines, books and clothes. No one else wanted her but me so there was no auction or bid war. They even lowered her price without me even asking just to get her out! My husband has been saying we should get rid of the piano now that our family is so large and our space ‘smallish’. But I have too many memories of my oldest son playing “We Three Kings” over and over again at Christmas time in preparation for his recital and visions of each of my littles sitting in their diapers playing their version of a Piano Concerto. I decided to give her a little love and help her fit our space a little better. I used chalk paint but left some of the original finish as well.

I couldn’t commit to completely covering her up. Instead, I just dressed her up a bit.
