Is it a crime to paint a piano? Yes, but only if you happen to choose the color Poopy Sunset like whoever owned this piano before Danielle did. Seriously, there’s like three different shades of brown happening there. So weird.
Danielle lightened the mood with a bright white and toned it down with a dark glaze, and now they are making beautiful music together! Check it out on her blog Danielle’s Spot.

November 2, 2011 at 10:49 PMI always wonder what my piano would look like in a different color and then I remember that I’d have to move it to the garage to paint it and I decide it’s not worth it. Love the way hers turned out though.

(It’s a great job, really.)
