antique additions

we welcomed a couple new antique additions to our family yesterday thanks to my grandmother.  this old piano is something she has been willing to part with for quite some time.  it was just a matter of getting lots of muscles together to move it over.
we decided to take off the front wood panel because the guts of the piano look so cool.
if our online searches are correct for the model number on this baby it's from the 1920's.  it's not in great working condition but i wanted it mostly for the looks anyway.
then i saw this old trunk while i walked around my grandma's shed with her.  i loved the look of it and she could tell, so she offered it to me. 
i think this is going to be great for the art room to organize some of my supplies.
i love making a place for new/old items in my house.  old stuff is way better than new stuff in my opinion.

  1. I LOVE that trunk. I've always wanted a piano in our house, and I don't even know how to play. Ha. I saw one online recently that they painted with chalkboard paint! It looked awesome. So now I want a chalkboard piano.

  2. Both of these are great finds, and the piano although it is not tunable it doesn't sound too bad in the bass part. Looks like scouring grandmas garage is a good thing. :)

  4. I'm soo happy for you that you finally got a piano. I know you had that spot in your house saved for a piano. I remember that you even arranged your pictures for a piano to go there even though you didn't have a piano yet. Anyways, I LOVE the piano and I LOVE the trunk!! How old do you think the trunk is?
