I got a wild hair runnin’ through my veins a couple of weekends ago and convinced Mark that our piano needed painting. He thought I was a little looney but agreed to let me do it. I had been researching painting the piano for awhile but finally decided it just had to be done!
Zoe and Ace have been taking lessons for a little over a year now. We had purchased a clunker piano (that left us infested with nasty roaches…but that problems been taken care of now) but then a friend offered to sell a spare one that they had for a good price. So we bought it. However, after it had sat in a house with 12 children (at the time..they’ve since been blessed with #13), it had seen quite a bit of use as a cup holder/paint catcher and what not. Not a big deal to us because it sounded good. We keep our Bibles on the piano because it’s easy access to during family worship. However, I could not find some basic book stands to save my life…anyways, I gave Mark the choice of painting the piano red or green. I was thinking a darker green would look good. Mark opted for a red one since he’d never seen a green one before.
I asked Mark if he had ever seen a red piano…he hadn’t. Hmmm…well, anyway, we went with red and here’s the mostly finished project! I love it. It looks a lot cleaner (with a few touchups needed), and it matches the (insert fancy know it all voice here) decor of the room. You know, action figures, children’s books and a changing table (that’s coming up soon, I promise)…the fancy stuff.
So, what do you ya think? Want to see more painted pianos (so you know I’m not entirely crazy)? Go here!

You should have done the fireplace one! That was cool! It looks good! I can't wait to see it in person! 🙂
