In reply to Big yellow house on Loveland Street. I'm so glad you liked the round-up of pianos! You are so lucky to have a piano to paint; I wish I had room for one here. I love turquoise and red together too; I actually decorated entirely in those colors last Christmas! I do recall seeing some tips on how to paint pianos while researching for this post. Perhaps something might come up in a search? Unfortunately, I've never painted one, but I'm sure that it would require a primer or a good paint with a primer built-in. Check Lisa's site (the Pennnington Post) as she might have some tips over there. Good luck! If you paint it, please let me know. I'd love to see it!! ~Kerri, A Pop of Pretty

I am geeked to see the painted pianos!! I fell in love with a photo of a green piano from a better homes and garden magazine picture 6 years ago while we were building our house. So when I found an old blond colored piano I had to have it (husband could not imagine why I purchased it). Since we were in the middle of building, I stored it at our neighbors and kinda forgot all about it. She called me today and asked me to kindly take it to my own home. SO…I remembered the image I had and decied to google “paint a piano” for inspirations. Waalaa! I find your site and am now ecstatically trying to decied what color to paint it!!! I am leaning toward blue/turquise/robin’s egg shade…but maybe red ( I combine the two in my decor). And then there is always the many favorite shades of green!! How do I decide? Please help. And does the Lisa who owns the Robin Egg blue piano #4 (VERY LOVELY!!) have any tips on things to know on how to paint a piano. I am loving your site! I wish we could have a cup of tea and talk about all we have in common!
