Last weekend I suffered Thrift Shop Agony - one of my favorite stores had a huge 50% off EVERYTHING sale. Of course, I found things that I wanted but didn't really need:
You're right - as everything was half price, this beautiful
antique upright piano could be purchased for only $50!
My imagination immediately took flight and I
remembered several upright piano repurpose-ments:

And during the sale, any of these vintage school
desks could be purchased for only $7.50:

Sheer agony! I walked around the desks for almost 20 minutes
while I talked myself out of buying one of them (or, all of them!)

It's so hard to find artistic creations for little
boys' rooms and this last idea is simply perfection:
Why, oh, why didn't I scoop up a few of those
desks? The pangs of non-buyer's remorse!
Wow, I would have loved to have bought all of them as well as the piano.
ReplyDeleteI'm a retired elementary school teacher, and believe me if I were still teaching I'd love to have one of those vintage school desks for my classroom. I can see one or more of these cleverly embellished as special places of honor for rewarding good work and good behavior. Very clever ideas!
ReplyDeleteI love the piano made into a water feature...awesome!
ReplyDeleteHello Jan
ReplyDeleteLoved pianos, how much imagination!
I never thought a simple piano could turn into so many interesting things.......wow!
When I was a little girl I used to play the piano almost every day. Nowadays I don't have it anymore, and I've forgotten most of songs...
