I’ve been thinking about painting our piano bar using ASCP in Old White, so I purchased a quart a few weeks ago. Painting the piano would be such a huge time sucker and we’re only at the cabin on weekends, so I guess I’ve been putting it off. It’s probably a project better suited for when there’s nothing else to do and the weather is colder. In the meantime, I found a few other things that needed some sprucing up. 😉
Here’s a picture of one of the walls in our living room at the cabin. Click here to find out what lurks behind the ‘faux stained glass’. For starters, after I put together the art panels, we decided it would be a good idea to frame it out in white, so out came the ASCP for project numero uno.
For the second project, I decided to lighten up the rocking chair. In the picture above, I think it looks a little lighter than it actually is. Here’s a close up and you can see the difference between the Old White and the chair color.
I outlined a natural indentation in green, and I will be on the look out for a pillow cushion for some extra comfort and much needed color, or maybe I’ll make one.
The floor lamp needed some attention too, so I decided to do a crackle finish.
I had a sample jar of ASCP in Graphite, which worked nicely as the base color.
And here’s an oar that was pretty much invisible until it received a wash of white.
We’re getting there…slowly but surely ;).
I think I better stop or I won’t have enough paint for the piano!
(Do you think we need vertical pieces of wood painted in white between the panels?)

How fun that you have a cabin for starters and then that there are so many little projects you can do to spruce it up. The changes will surely brighten up the whole space. I’m not sure what I think about painting the vertical strips on that piece. Decisions can be tough!

I love the rocking chair… I’ve been looking for one I’d love to buy (an old second-hand one, of course!), though I’m not sure yet where I’d put it… But now that I read your post and seen your picture, I think I definitely need one to paint it in old white!!!
