I had a client with a family heirloom that wanted nothing more than to have the chair seat, that went with the set I was painting, re-weaved. This client knew I like a challenge so I told her I would research how to do it. It seemed a lot like the macrame' I did back in the 70's so I told her I thought we could do it. We did it!!! You can, too. My client was overwhelmed and loved it! Follow along to see how we did it!
It took almost an entire year to bring this crazy idea of mine to fruition, but I have finally done it! I have transformed our old piano into a bespoke dressing table for our bedroom! It features two large storage areas as well as a generous table surface - plenty of room to store and organize all my little treasures. Originally made in 1889 by Elmore and Sons, London, our piano is no longer a musical instrument, but now a fun and functional piece of furniture, which definitely sparks joy! The piano used to be in our dining room, but neither Tim nor myself are particularly musical so it was simply a decorative piece. Eventually, we removed the piano from the dining room to make space for an antique sideboard to hold our formal dinner service, and the piano ended up in the garage.Being of no monetary or sentimental value, we initially advertised the piano online, trying to give it away for free. We received no responses, and with so many other pianos available for free up and down the country, (and many in far better condition than ours), I started thinking of ways in which I could turn it into something useful. To begin with, I thought about converting the piano into a desk to use in my crafts room, but Tim actually bought me a large table to use in that room, so I finally decided that what I really needed was a dressing table for our bedroom, and I set about trying to make that idea a reality.
