Piano

I found a piano!!! {whoop whoop} I was stalking Craiglist a few weeks ago and found one!!! I was sooo excited! The girl we bought it from said it used to be a player piano that was converted. It's antiquey and old with lots of character! That is what I really wanted! The key are old and worn which I love!! It plays great. I need to get it tuned, one pedal needs some attention and a few cosmetic touches here and there couldn't hurt either but other than that it is in pretty good shape.
The kids have had so much fun playing their music on it instead of the keyboard! Tyson sat down the other day and taught Kyler Mary Had a Little Lamb. He played it great after a few minutes....I figure he must be some kind of prodigy so I got him set up to take lessons too!! :)
I have always dreamt of having a piano and listening to the beautiful music that my kids would play!!! Sooooo happy to have it a reality!!!
{{{I have some cute ideas for above the piano too...can't wait to get started on them! The things that are on there now are just so it doesn't look so empty!!! You can bet that there will be some awesome vinyl involved too!!}}}

It looks great! Can't wait to come and try it out sometime. As they say...A piano makes a home!

Now you sound like Sue! She had the same dream for her home and music, and then she got me and Shawn (Chris could actually play a little...)for kids...lucky for you, you brought the looks and the musical skills! Interesting that the music bug skipped my sibling group but hit all the "grandkids" like crazy! Chris' kids and yours all seem musically gifted! The piano is beautiful and I can't wait to see the vinyl creation to make it even more at home!
