HAVE YOU EVER BEEN TO THE PIANO GRAVEYARD



Well, have you?  Have you been to that place where you just can't take dusting that beautiful piano cabinet one more time?  Or, you are concerned about asking the men in your life to move this beautiful giant again?  It cannot, nor will not, make beautiful music any more.  So you sigh one last disgusted sigh, and say, "It's got to go!"

You know, the people that made these gorgeous cabinets backs at the turn of the century poured their hearts into them. 

I have heard all kinds of stories about "we use to have one of those and we. . . ." My favorite one is
when the husband took it took make a "crappy bed" in his pond.  At least he was repurposing, eh?

Well, here are some of the things we do with these gentle giants at PATINA.

 
Looks like a really nice piano, right?
 

Actually it will open up to house your 46" flat screen.  Prewired to serve all of your components.
Extra storage in the bottom for your DVDs, books, etc.

 
What about a funky sculpture for your wall?
 
 

 

 
 
Or candles for your piano lover?
 
 
 
 
Or a really awesome bench for your home?  Believe it or not, it really is comfy.
 
 
Lots of other goodies. Remember those old upright pianos can still fill your home in delightful ways.
