Music Room Reveal

I am trying to make every room in our house a space that is worth loving. Last week I shared a nursery reveal – and this will be the second room in our house that feels complete enough to share. I am still working on our bedroom, which has a little too much furniture in it right now. And our living room, which I love, but the walls are pretty bare so I might change that.

My music room was the second space I worked on in our house because it is so important to me. Music is part of who I am, and I feel like playing a REAL piano completes me somehow. I have been dreaming of having my own piano since I left mine at home when I went to college and my parents gave it away 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭. It was tragic. We haven’t because we haven’t really lived in a permanent place + Kris has never really wanted to move one. I don’t blame him.

But when I was pregnant with Zander I decided it was time. I told Kris that if I was going to push his baby out of me, he had to carry my piano up the stairs. Can’t argue with that right? Especially when I had spent my entire pregnancy sick and throwing up and in pain constantly.

When I found the piano I felt like I hit the jackpot. It is really old, but perfectly tuned and in beautiful condition. It was an older gentleman that sold it to me and he said it had belonged to his mother. No one had played it since she died, so he wanted it to go to a new home where it would be played and loved. Along with the piano he also gave us a bag full of ripe and delicious tomatoes, fresh from his garden. I ate them like apples, because tomatoes are delicious.

This piano was my ‘push present’ to myself. But I didn’t actually push Zander out till after we got it. If I had known that my epidural was going to stop working right before I had to start pushing (whole story here) … I would have felt absolutely NO guilt watching Kris and three other guys struggle to carry the piano up two flights of stairs. I deserve this piano.

The hammock in my music room keeps moving around the house, but I think next to the piano is its new permanent home. It looks beautiful here, and it is nice to have a spot for Zander to hang out while I sing. He still likes it when I sing. Unlike Zoey, who tells me to BE QUIET, unless I am singing Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.

So that is the music room! It might change a little come spring, I am thinking of painting the piano.

Any color ideas?
