a yellow piano

I'd like to think I'm a DIY kind of girl. I think a "project" always sounds fun...but in reality...it usually isn't.  

This piano was given to us by Matthew's mom. 

My room needed some color. 

And I was stuck at home with a new baby. 

However, just when you think you are doing an "at home project" remember this:

You might have to take 7 trips to Lowes/Home Depot with a 5 year old, a potty training 2 year old and a newborn.

You might attempt 5 different shades of color

You might have a hard time juggling a fussy baby, a potty trainer and painting/sanding

Your 2 & 5 year old might ask if they can help you paint about a million times

You might have a hard time moving a piano on your own (trust me) so wait until your DIY neighbor is there to help you.

You might not know what you are doing so again, make sure you don't attempt this when that same DIY neighbor is out of town. (I learned the hard way.)

You might have a husband who is annoyed that your back yard is a complete disaster.

You might want to know the color I used. AllenRoth1806 Jackson Square

You might want to have a real photographer take these pictures before posting them.

I might probably won't ever do this again.

Here are the before pics:
