We painted our piano white! When we removed the front to be painted, I saw how beautiful the "inside" of a piano is. |
This is what she looked like before.... |
and after! |
Here is a " before" decorated for Halloween! |
Look at all the keys and knobs and...... |
it even has my husbands name on it! |
I have decided to leave the front off for a while and enjoy seeing the inside of the piano! |
Wow beautiful!!!

ReplyDeleteWow Penny you took the white seriously when you painted the piano. It is pretty with all white palette.
ReplyDeleteI love this look and your pretty vignette on top. The inside is so interesting and detailed...why not show it off!! Great job.

wowee!! Makes your vignette pop. Love it!
ReplyDeleteLove seeing the inside with Howard's name. The white is great! I did not know you could paint a piano.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I like the idea of keeping the front off for awhile.

I love pianos, and have always known how wonderful they are inside. Your different treatments are all so nice. Love the ruffles, and the candles on top!
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing! Love the colours.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
Hope to see you on my blog:)
Your piano looks so pretty painted white. I've been wanting to paint mine white, as well. Maybe I just might get busy now and paint mine! Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty. YOur piano and display is stunning. Thanks for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteHi Penny, I love your painted piano and the gorgeous display you created on the top of the upright. Everything is so charming and inspiring.
ReplyDeleteYou know I had one just like this growing up in the basement and my mom and I painted it white, even back then. Later when I was a little older we got another piano for the living room and I have that one to this day and just this summer also painted mine white and LOVE it. It's not an upright though. It is a consel style. It sure turned out gorgeous in white.
Thank you for sharing.
Hugs, Celestina Marie
Looks wonderful...love the display atop too...glad I popped in!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful piano. Congratulations for the good job. Greetings from me and the Czech Republic.
ReplyDeleteLove your piano in white! What a wonderful look, and you have styled it so perfectly! Thanks so much for sharing on Blissful Whites Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteHugs,

When my mom got our piano tuned, she always took off the front -before the piano tuner arrived. I loved playing it that way and seeing everything inside going up and down as I played. Your piano looks lovely in white, very fresh and light.
ReplyDeleteSuch a god idea. I love the look.

I love the painted piano and the exposed interior. It is fabulous!!!

Your piano looks beautiful, I love seeing the workings. It was a great idea to leave them exposed.
ReplyDeleteHi Penny, I love your beautiful piano. I'm featuring you later tonight on Totally Transformed Tuesday. Hugs, Peggy
ReplyDeleteI love seeing the inside - very clever! And what a big job to paint a piano!
ReplyDeleteVery cool. I'm not sure I would have had the guts to paint my piano, but yours turned out fantastically! I'm starting a new link party today and would love for you to come link up. http://www.gingerlymade.com/2012/11/show-and-tell-1.html
ReplyDeleteI loved seeing your piano. In fact, I have one just like it in my garage. I'm forwarding this to my husband because I had just asked him to paint it white for me. My sister and I both learned to play on our piano but she is the real pianist but has several of her own so I get to have this one. I have painted and antiqued it olive green in the 1960's and my husband stripped the paint (big job!) and varnished it in 1980's and my niece had it and recently gave it back to me so the next phase will be white. Thanks for the confirmation on the color.
ReplyDeleteI just left a comment and realized I said 1960's instead of late 1970's for the olive green color. I'm not that old!....lol
ReplyDeleteThat sure gave an old piano a new life. Looks fantastic Penny and you have her dressed up so pretty too. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteNew life for an old girl. Great job, Penny.
ReplyDeleteLove the piano. It looks beautiful.
ReplyDeleteTalk about an improvement...I love the new look and the great display space it provides. You'l have lots of fun arranging as the seasons change.
ReplyDeleteI love the new piano decorations Penny. How beautiful!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on having the courage to do this Penny. It looks amazing! And I love the "insides" too.
ReplyDeleteWarmly, Michelle
