I've had my heart set on turning an old piano into a bar/buffet. Not that this is a big shocker, but vintage, cheap, broken pianos are not easy to come by. I didn't want to destroy a working piano, and I didn't want to break the bank buying one either. I figured someday a piano would just find me...which is exactly what happened the other day.
It was during my Goodwill 50% off day shopping trip with a friend, when I saw the piano from across the store. I walked casually (*running*) through the store, dodging carts and shoppers along the way. I'm pretty sure the heavens opened and angels were singing when I finally reached the piano and saw the price. $15!!! Not only was it dirt cheap, it was in terrible condition, missing the top half, and has most of the keys broken. Perfect!
So of course my next move was to call my husband and utter the words every husband wants to hear on a Saturday afternoon, "Honey, I bought a piano. How can I get a home?" There was about 5 seconds of silence on the other end of the phone. Long story short...4 hours later the piano was in my backyard.
