So we got this piano for $100 from our neighbors a few months ago. It was ugly. So I painted it! I painted it "old white", then distressed it, with gold legs and trim. You can't tell that it's gold in the picture, but it is. I got the idea from Emily's coffee table that she painted (which is super cute and she should post a picture of)!
This couch I scored at a yard sale a few weeks ago for $100. SOOOO much better than our old black leather "man-cave" couch that's been in our living room. It makes the whole room feel much more home-y.
In other news, we (Rod & I & Caitlin!!!) have to speak in church next Sunday. It'll be Caitlin's first talk in sacrament meeting (although she has borne her testimony once before). She's nervous, but I think pretty excited, too!
And Brooke, I want to hear all about your first day of work!!!!

Carrie, you distressed that piano really good, it looks great! I love the gold legs! And that couch is a score too!
I can't believe Cailtin has to speak! I think she's the youngest sacrament speaker I've ever heard of! that's awesome though, I'm sure it will be a fun experience for her- I hope she's not to nervous!
that piano looks awesome- seriously! you'll have to tell me how to do it one day. you'll give great talks I'm sure!
The piano looks really good! Way to go. The sofa does make the room much more comfortable, and you don't have to stress over it for $100! What a great deal! I'm proud of Caitlin, and I'm sure she will do a great job!

Did you have to strip or sand the piano first? I need to do ours, but think prepping it for painting is going to take forever. And now that I'm a working woman, I don't have TIME!! My first week went well by the way. I work with nice people. But the time management thing is a challenge! Finding time to work on projects will be hard.
I love your sofa. That is a great find. The piano looks awesome, and Ems coffee table is really great too!
I didn't do any prepping 'cause I used chalk paint. It's expensive, but that's one of the selling points, is that you don't have to prime or sand or anything. I found recipes on how to make your own chalk paint, so I'm going to try that for my next project...
