Hello eco-Steemians,
I want to share with you a project that my husband and I decided to take on. I purchased an antique piano and along with it came a dual piano bench (37" in width). As you could see from the original photo, the bench looks aged and the color was not an exact match with the piano. I have a long story about the piano that you could read on my first post that I have ever blogged in my life, but on this post, I want to really showcase what we have done with the piano bench. Being that I haven't been exposed to refinishing and restoration, I was really skeptical at how a wood piece of furniture could be transformed. If it weren't for the fact that bench is longer than the standard piano benches (30"), I would have easily preferred to break it down into firewood. But my husband convinced me to keep it because the bench is hardwood throughout and these days, if you were to buy hardwood furniture, it would cost an arm and a foot. So I let him transform it for me. What do you guys think?
Looking great. It enhance the wood natural color with that vibrant calm blue. What logo is in the center?

This bench is around 100 years old too. The maker of the bench was called Thomas Organ and Piano company. If you research them, they also made very intricate piano stools. I wanted to preserve the original logo but my husband had to do some routing around the area and wasn't able to avoid brushing that spot. He wanted to pay homage to it so he asked for a picture of it from a museum out east in Canada. They sent it to him and he digitized the logo using Illustrator. Then he carbon traced it before wood burning it onto the bench.
