Then I used the chalk paint that I bought (Rustoleum Linen White Chalk Paint). I let this cure overnight for around 24 hours. I used BIN primer to paint the first coat on, since I wasn’t sanding at all, I wanted to minimize chipping as best as I could. I used two paintbrushes – one medium sized chalk paint brush and one tiny paint brush. I also taped off the pedals and took the little knobs off on the lid. I highly recommend just doing that and using a nice, thick painters tape. I first only taped the edges, but they I had some spills that I had to clean up (I’m the messiest painter, honestly) so I went back and taped over the whole set of keys. I taped off the keys (not well the first time though!). To start, I gave the piano a quick dusting with a damp cloth. At some point I’ll paint that and put it back on lol. It made it a little more modern looking and less fussy. ^^ Originally there was a detailed wood piece for holding music, however, I took that off and have it stored. It was really easy to paint and I love how it turned out! My home also has several different types of wood running throughout and it feels so disjointed. I’ve had it for a few years in my home and while the wood is beautiful, there are a lot of orange tones to it that I don’t personally love. I’m sharing my piano transformation with you guys today and I’m so excited to be able to write this post! I’ve wanted to paint it for close to a year! I love this piano and it was a gift from my Grandma to my sister and I when we were little, we learned to play on it and I’m sure it will be in the family forever.
