Turn away now if you are highly offended by painted pianos. Or if you are a huge fan of splintered bums. Because not only did Kammy fearlessly paint her piano a delicious shade of dusty turquoise, she also fixed up the accompanying bench from serious-seat-splinter-er to subway-art-inspired-bench-of-beauty. Get a closer look, and see if you can spot the word she accidentally stenciled on twice on her blog Kammy’s Korner.

September 16, 2013 at 4:09 PMI think it’s beautiful! Granted, my family had a piano when I was growing up that had been *upholstered* in 1970’s gold-and-black plaid to hide cracks in the wood from when it had fallen out of a moving truck. This is much prettier. 🙂

September 16, 2013 at 4:15 PMDo I get a prize for the word that is misspelled? It is “sol” not “so”. Looks like there is space to add an “l” though! Also a personal pet peeve of mine is when people don’t “fill in” the lines left that were used to hold the stencil together. Those little paper lines are supposed to be covered up because it is assumed that people can connect the letter once the stencil is removed. It always gives me a “strobe light” effect when I’m trying to read the words with all of those empty spaces. Otherwise, it is the best turquoise re-do I’ve seen in a while. Much better “after”.
