piano bench

hey! sorry for the lack of blogging lately, it has been crazy around here.

we have been finishing off a portion of our basement.
little man has been helping out quite a bit...



in the mean time i have taken up piano,
i had my first lesson on saturday.



i took for several years when i was younger,
but to say it was forced would be a understatement.
my grand parents are letting me use our old piano they have been storing in their basement.
when i got the piano the bench looked like this:
it looks like we used to draw and paint on it instead of playing.




with my new desired interest in playing, i wanted it to look good.
so here is the bench when i got done with it...









i love the fabric, and i as i type this i realize i did not get permission
from my maw maw to do such. :/
next week my post might say "the refinishing of the piano bench"





and yes i put it were my little bench was, but don't worry i have great plans or it.
