Play it Again Sam!

You may recall these two tables that my husband Mr T found by the side of the road about six months ago...



They had been sitting in the garage for ages when Mr T had an idea for both of them.  He thought PIANO KEYS!  Ummm, I wasn't so sure so I let him do only one first as I thought it would look crap not that great.

Turns out the Mrs was wrong (for once).  Check it out now!







Personally, I totally dig it!


The only problem was he was supposed to have the keys the other way round so they were facing the same was as the drawer.  Still looks great though.

Oh ok I'll admit it, I didn't really think it would look crap.  Maybe I was just worried about being upstaged!  Haha, just kidding.  I do love it when he gets in the creative mood.

What do you think?

Totally awesome - love how you used the planks to make the keys - perfect.

That's the most awesome DIY I've seen in a long time. I'd pay big bucks for those!

Found you on Better After. Love this!! And before I read that the upside down keys were an accident, I was thinking how awesome it was that he made it different by doing it that way.

What a musically inspired beauty! Curious as to what brand of paint you used. The glossy factor is amazing!
