I would show you
my second favorite piece
that I have painted.
My piano:
This one was easy.
Isn't she grand?
But, not always so.
I found her at the music store;
they had *rescued* her from a local public school.
It had "T loves J" and the likes carved into her.
It had "T loves J" and the likes carved into her.
She has the most amazing
carving and details.
But what I love best of all
is the sweet music that she brings to our home.
( I don't play but my girls do.)
Check out all of the other white goodness
It is wonderful that the piano has found a home with you. And She looks wonderful white. So many of these pianos meet a much unhappier fate.
ReplyDeleteThe piano is gorgeous!! Love all the carvings and detail. You did a wonderful job painting her.

What an incredibly beautiful piece of history! Oh my, she is just gorgeous, and I love that children have carved into her. Love the way you decorated her with gorgeous laces! White Wednesdays are wonderful!

Oh, Rene, the piano...there are no words. Never in my life have I seen a white piano, and to see this one, that you have so lovingly restored and adorned with beautiful accessories is amazing! You have got to love watching your girls as they bring forth the music from it's strings! And yes, please, please, send Mr. Reagan's speeches to as many people as you can, and ask them to pass them on. We need to know what it SHOULD be like! God bless!
ReplyDeleteI have to send my Sister over, this might be solution to the piano in her living room that nobody plays!
ReplyDeleteWOW!
ReplyDeleteThat seems like a huge project to me.
It is so very beautiful!!
Thanks for showing us.

Rene, You did it again showing the most beautiful things. My mother had a piano with so many great details and the wood itself was gorgeous. I had a chance to get, but I didn't at the time thinking the wood would not go with my other things, so I didn't get it. Now I wish I could go back and had excepted it, but my sister In-law has it, and now is divorce from my brother. I think I would squeeze it in somewhere and paint it if I was able to get it. Back then I never thought of painting so many things like I do now. Darn It!
ReplyDeleteIt is always a pleasure seeing your beauties!
Hugs-
Be still my heart!!! May I come and worship at your piano stool too?! She is grand indeed, but is she indeed a grand? She is so lovely Rene` and the best part is that she still plays. I have been looking for one of those for years, but every time I find one the price is too steep. You are one lucky girl!!!

Here I am again Rene. I was wondering what shade of white you use on your pieces. It's so soft.

What a large endeavor you took on painting this piano, but it was well worth it. She is stunning!! And you are right, the carving and detail is lovely! And the best part of all~your home will be filled with music!!
ReplyDeleteJust love your blog, Rene! Have a wonderful week! :-)

That piano is beautiful and like you said, she has beautiful carvings. I always wanted to learn to play piano but never had one to use. Oh well, I still don't have one! haha
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful~!!! I would love a piano and to have someone who knows how to play in the house, of course!

Stunning...
ReplyDeleteGreat addition to your home. Our piano was lonely at a thrift store and after a bit of white paint and appliques, it's loved once again! Our daughter plays and gives lessons in our home so we hear music all week long! Thanks for stopping by. FYI, southeast Idaho, Idaho Falls, Blackfoot, Shelly, Pocatello. . .
ReplyDeleteYou have a magic touch! The piano is so beautiful!! I love seeing the way you can tranform into "must have one like it" pieces.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely that you saved her from the scrap pile. She is beautiful and it is wonderful she still makes music. Your eye for beauty is incredible.
ReplyDeleteThat piano is so pretty! The details really made it special. And you are lucky that someone plays it.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, she's gorgeous!!! And so wonderful that she has found a wonderful place in your home~

ReplyDeleteFabulous piano!
