We Bought a Piano

So I had an impression after church back in August that we needed a piano since we were going to be in Laramie for at least another three years.  I felt like I was losing my "talent" (as in I'm not that good, but Michael is).  I really enjoy playing the piano--its like therapy for me, sooooo we looked at good old craigslist and found this beauty for only $175 two blocks away from us. This old man was selling it and it had sat in their basement for 34 years in a corner.  Turns out his kids chose to play different instruments.  So we pretended it wasn't as cool as we thought it was so he wouldn't know and raise the price.  The sound is even good and not that out of tune.  Amazing, I know. :)
This is my favorite carving on the piano.  So pretty.

Before we cleaned it up.



34 years of dust (at least)

Half and Half.  Amazing the difference.

All cleaned up :)
