I've been wanting to write this post for some time now. When my sweet friend, Lisa, from The Pennington Point and Shop24 asked my advice on painting her piano, I thought two things...
For one, she was certainly brave.
And two, right up my alley.
This version of Saturday Shout Out is more of a feature for her work!
Here is a snippet of her piano before....
And here it is in all of its new turquoise glory....
Oh. My. Goodness.
It is SO beautiful!! I absolutely adore the color. When I read this, inspiration had already struck for me to paint an antique chest turquoise....and then I saw this. Color inspiration affirmed.
Lisa used Olympic's Alpine Valley...and this may very well be the color going on my chest of drawers this week.
She then sanded down to the wood in parts, and only to the primer in others. I especially love this technique on brighter colors like this...love the dimension it gives to a piece.
And let's look at it again one more time...
Did you notice the beautiful styling?? I LOVE Lisa's style, but more than that, I love her Faith and heart...you should definitely check out her blog!
Beautiful job, Lisa!! Thank you for all the inspiration!!
I read this on her blog awhile ago and loved it. She seems like such a nice lady.
ReplyDeleteWhoa! That is amazing! It looks so fabulous and I love her ampersand plate, haha! I have to get one of those.
ReplyDeleteOh and this is Molly @ A Bit O' Shine, I'm using a friend's computer and it seemed rude to log her out of her own computer so here I am with split personalities it looks like. :D
That piano is amazing! I don't have room in my house, nor do I play, but wouldn't it be so fun to have a turquoise piano! {and wooohooo, I won! thanks so much!}
ReplyDeleteWow...just gorgeous, now I have to go visit her blog. Love her style to just looking at the photo!

Sweet Up-North Mornings...
Wow, it looks stunning. Did the wall behind get repainted or has the new piano colour just made it stand out? It looks fantastic.
ReplyDeleteHi Shaunna, I love the piano is looks fabulous. What made me laugh though was the little 'forgive' sign on it. Is that 'forgive me for painting you'? ;-)
ReplyDeleteLove Lisa's piano! Her blog is one of my new favs.
ReplyDeleteLOL! The "Forgive" sign is for the sound the poor piano makes when my four little piano students pound away practicing their pieces. Ha!
ReplyDeleteAnd I didn't paint the walls, the piano color has just brought out the best in it.
And the ampersand plate is homemade...it's a $5 platter from Home Goods with a die cut glued to it. Easy as pie. Lisa~
