The Salvaged & Repurposed Piano


What can you do with an old piano that is damaged beyond repair?
Can you really repurpose an old broken piano, and turn it into
 something completely new? 
Of course you can!

Why would you even want to do that?
Because they can have sentimental value. 
Yes, even if damaged beyond repair by insects, age, or things like floods, 
that old piano can be hard to part with. 

Check it out...

I hope you have a great week 
Love, Laura

    I love these collections, especially since I always think so far inside the box. Those wall mounted shelves are wonderful.

      Innovative, yes! I don't think of them as sad though, better to be reused then to be torn apart at a dump!

    Wow love this, some great ideas, thanks. I have a beautiful old piano that I paid $50 for. I am surely going to use these idea to re-create it.

    These are all utterly beautiful!
    I would seriously consider the bed headboard, or the shelf idea, or the garden pieces.
    I must know: where is this place where defunct pianos are laying around...? :)

    How hard is it to remove the guts of an upright? I have an old 1905 that came with the house...
