    This is exactly what I was looking for! I have a very similarly shaped piano in a much darker finish (no longer shiny) that is making a corner of my livingroom very dark. I am currently using the Annie Sloane chalk paint to transform outdoor Muskoka (Adirondack) chairs and have used chalk paint in my kitchen, so I think I'm ready to tackle the piano. Thanks for this, and I love the taupe...it's very clean and classy.

    To be honest, I thought this would look great afterwards, but I think it fell a bit flat. It’s too blended. Perhaps painting the inset where the sheet music goes would make it pop a bit? A bold black is what I would do. But if you like it then 👌🏼

    I think the green would have been bomb But the lighter colour is definitely more friendly for a home so I can see why you chose that color. It absolutely is stunning. I’m sorry, but you made that look easy! I think that being in the space of contentment and slowing down and staying true to your 2020 goals allowed you to be so successful in this project! Look at you go! 🎹💕

    I like the wood but, ypu did an AMAZING job on that piano. I have a piano that I've been contemplating paintjng. Our home has an amazi g farmhouse look, light greyish color walls and dark walnut floors. I'm thinking of going with a darker color gray or black chalk paint. I've done some chalk painting on some furniture that turned out beautiful . I'm not afraid to go for it but, I'm not so brave as to just jump on it right away. I'm trying to just find the right color so...cross tyour fingers with me and hope for the best. Yhank you for your video and, again what a wonderful job I absolutely love this new look.
