I have been searching Craig's list for a piano for some time. I wanted an old, full upright piano. I didn't care much about the
aesthetic condition, as long as it was in working order. I was planning on painting it, so looks and color were not too important to me. I was determined not to spend over $300. So when I found a listing for an upright piano in working order for $60 I called right away. I went to see it, and was disappointed by what I found. It was uglier than I thought it would be and was not a full upright that I had my heart set on. However, it was $60 so I knew I had to buy it. Even if I redid it and hated it, I wouldn't too feel bad since it was so cheap. I know I said I wasn't too concerned with the look of it, but I have to admit I was kind of
embarrassed by it. Eric needed help picking it up and I would only let him call the Randall's and our neighbor for help since I was
embarrassed by it's appearance. I realize I was being ridiculous, it is just my own neurosis.
Anyway, I redid it, and it turns out I do not regret my $60 purchase (plus about $20 for supplies). I am happy with the results. I am partial to black furniture so this works perfectly for me.

I love it and I just now noticed that you put the temple picture above it! It looks so great that I want to redo my piano in black!
Love it! I want to paint all of my furniture black (even the kitchen cabinets). Al thinks I'm crazy!
I love it! It looks so great!
Wow I am super impressed. That is some talent you have lady. You may not be able to stitch but who cares. Stitching is all I can do. Way to go.
Looks awesome! I bought a piano at a garage sale for $75 but it doesn't look as great as yours because I haven't done anything to it!
What an improvement! I still can't believe that it was only $60.
What a great shopper you are! How long did it take for you to refinish it? You arevery talented -way to go Sarah.
That looks awesome! Oh, and I don't think it was in embarrassing shape beforehand... LOL
