Have you ever wondered what the inside of a piano looks like? Well, here is our piano in all it's naked glory! We bought this piano last December, just before we moved, off of criagslist for $25. It wasn't the prettiest piano on the block, but was quite the steal for the money we paid for it (I know, we're such big spenders!). I have had grand ideas for the last few months of repainting it and making it look nicer. Before we took the plunge, though, I had a piano tuner come check it out for me to tell me what kind of condition it was in. Lucky for us, we really did get a good deal and have a pretty darn good piano. She showed me how we could take it apart to refinish it and so now, after a lot of convincing to Wally that this is going to not be too bad, especially with the help of an electric sander, we're right in the thick of it. We're done with all the major sanding, just need to work on the details now. The painting has started and our hopes are starting to get higher. Stay tuned (ha, ha!) for our big reveal!
We spent more hours than I care to say, lots of sweat, and only a few tears to get our piano repainted and now we're done! This was definitely a much bigger project than anticipated, but we're really glad that we did it. It looks so much better than it did before! So here it is in all it's glory (fully-covered this time).
