We have had this piano for about four years- it was handed down from John's sister, Bonnie, who got it from their sister, Laura and where she got it, I don't know. But I was inspired by my other sister-in-law, Ellen (also their sister) who painted her piano, and so I decided it was time this old piano got a new look!
After a few coats of paint and a new seat cover, this is the final outcome:
Not too bad for a total of about $6! I already had the paint,
so I just bought the fabric and 4 tassells. Now it matches
almost everything else in the house that I have painted black.
(John says we are goth!) I say I'm just living the old pioneer
philosophy" Fix it up, wear it out, make due, or do without"-
instead of my philosophy which has always been "fix it up,
wear it out, make due, or buy new!"
