Yellow piano from Bake @ 350, yes, she must be a wild woman.
Yellow Piano
Never paint a piano yellow, “they” would probably say.
Unless you are a wild woman.
Painting a piano yellow means living life on the edge.
It is dangerous. Rebellious.
Probably something we shouldn’t talk about in public.
Certainly not something we should admit to doing lest “they” don’t like it.
*Your home is a place to express who you really are or who you want to be.
*It is a place to feel rejuvenated, to brighten up what can be a very dark world.
*It is a place to celebrate blessings with joy,
*a safe haven to find a song in the storms,
*and definitely a place to play a happy tune on a yellow piano.
So go ahead and run wild with those inner yearnings to paint your piano yellow.
Throw caution to the wind and buy quirky metal cafe chairs if they make you smile.
Paint an antique table blue so you can fall in love with it all over again.
These are NOT the most deadly sins. I promise.
It is your home. Live life in it to the full and rebel all you want.
*disclaimer: as always, use common sense when painting anything of value that you may want to sell, and if you are a musician, research painting instruments prior to deciding to paint them. For the rest of us who own thrift store instruments or furniture we don’t like, paint away without worry.

I pained our piano last year and I love it! I spoke with several piano tuners and one piano manufacturer and they all assured me it shouldn’t interfere with the quality of the music (we have an average piano, nothing exceptional). I got so much flack from family and friends when I started talking about doing it, but I forged ahead and I am so glad I did.
Thanks, Melissa, for the encouragement you give us every day to follow our own vision. Lisa~ (I would normally not put a link in a comment, but here’s one to my blue piano if you’d like to see it: http://thepenningtonpoint.com/2010/06/the-painted-piano/)

Nah… IMHO, that yellow piano looks great in the room.
And, no, I’m NOT a wild woman.
Cheers
I just love the yellow piano! About 18 years ago, I painted my 1881 upright Grand a beautiful dark mustard colour. On the front panel, I did a collage of my children at different stages in their live right down to my last child first meeting with her 5 brothers just 6 hours after she was born. To this day I get so many positive comments about the piano, but mostly about the family history it portrays. I still look at the Pictures and always have such a warm feeling. Especially now that the Baby is off to college this September! And yes, each child knows how to “tinkle” the keys!
