No More Granny Piano!

I enjoy having a piano in my home. I don't always play as often as I should or would like, but it is still a nice addition. We bought an inexpensive Kimball console piano about 8 years ago and it has been a good little piano all along, at least sound wise. My husband has been bugging me for years to get rid of the "Ugly Granny Piano!" Well, we don't have room or money for the baby grand he would rather see gracing our home. So, I thought I would give my old piano a makeover in the hopes that it would stop further harassment from my husband. It was a long process because of all the sanding. I even coerced my husband to assist me in this part. The staining was a breeze. After several weeks of sitting in our garage, the new and improved piano was allowed back in our living room. My husband even graciously admitted it was the best home improvement project we've undertaken. I am exstatic with the results!!!
