THE KARGENATORS: bird doorframe

Saturday was our lucky day!

We got a Piano.

For FREE [yes, I said free].

We hauled it in the truck and brought my baby home to mama!

It was a wonderful deal! The legs are a bit shaky, a small section of the laminate cover edge broke off to expose the unstained pieces, and a few of the keys are sticky [you practically have to use a sledge hammer to get middle D to play but that's okay, I've got fingers of steel]

With my piano being free and all... I kinda want to..... paint it.
First I want to find out if it will change the sound dramatically, because if so, I wont.
secondly, I have to get permission from my husband...
{I mentioned it yesterday and he vetoed it right away:[ }

Where do I get this inspiration? amazingly enough I was snooping around the blogosphere yesterday and came across 3 [not 1, not 2, 3] blogs [not linked to one another either] that had bloggers that had painted their pianos!
How crazy is it that RIGHT after I get my free piano I see SEVERAL blogs with painted pianos??
It was fate. It must be done.

Now mind you, I am emphasizing free, not because I am bragging, but because had I spent more than $100 on a piano,
I highly doubt I would paint it.
Because I have spent nothing I feel I don't have as much to lose!
but honestly, I have googled around, and there are
tons of people
who paint their pianos!
&& what a
conversation piece
that baby would be if it were bright red!
or Yellow!
or steel blue!

IT would be AWESOME!

Can you tell I am feeling crafty lately??

I want to paint my office.
I am thinking repainting the walls a stark white,
or making them butter yellow.
&& accenting with orange, yellow, green, and red!

I will probably paint the desks white as well!!
I think it would be fantastic.
So bright and citrus-y. mmm:]
