RESTORED IT WEDNESDAY




Thank you ALL so much for all of your sweet comments and your kind words today! It has been SO much fun seeing how many new people have stopped by! I wish I had time to respond to all of you, so let me just say in one big response....Y'all are GREAT! I really appreciate all of the encouragement and comments. You all really know how to make a girl feel good....(blushing).....

If you are new to my blog, today is the day that I post Restored It Wednesday. It is a link party where I invite you to link up something that YOU have made look better than it did before. Now that I think about it....you could take that totally out of context...(giggle).... please, no before and after weight loss pictures in your polka dot bikini or photos of your husbands mullet removal ( I AM from Alabama)... you get the picture..... It MUST be in the Home and Garden or Craft Category.

I will choose my favorite link up and give it a feature each week. All that I ask for you to do is link it directly to your blog post and to take a button and link back.

This week I chose to feature this amazing Piano my Melinda at Lanier Creations. It is gorgeous! It is over 100 years old and was in really bad shape when they bought if off Craigslist. They stripped it, sanded it and gave it a fresh coat of black paint. They even built a new bench for it!

 My 10 year old inherited my love of Muscial Theatre and has been working hard this week preparing for another audition. She has an amazing set of lungs and I am not just saying that cause she's my kid.. She really does! I wish I had room for a piano for her...sigh....
 
 Melinda said that her husband actually did most of the work for her and he put in over 40 hours of restoring time to get it done. Did you catch that?? 40 HOURS!! Now THAT is one great husband!! It looks fabulous Melinda. Thank you for sharing it with us!
