Have you thought about painting a baby grand piano? I wanted to take a pretty but boring wood piano and update it for my house.

How To:
I pulled out some Dixie Belle Chalk Mineral Paint in Midnight Sky. You guys know how much I love their other black, Caviar, well this one is just a tad lighter.
That probably sounds odd to call a black color “lighter,” but it is just not quite as deep and rich as the Caviar. It’s also a bit warmer with less of a blue undertone.
You can use it straight out of the jar if you want a more textured look, but if you want a smoother finish you can water it down, which has the added benefit of making it go further.
I only used about 2/3 of the 16 oz jar to paint this piano. That’s also partially because for the most part I got away with just one coat of paint. There were only a couple of spots that needed a touch up with a second coat.
So the answer is YES you absolutely can paint your old piano. It does not affect the sound quality.
