How about this solution in a music lover's home?

@lolakimono Very clever for a music lover's home...but not mine. The grandkids... both under 4...would climb that in no time. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Clever idea carried out to perfection.

Makes me me want to know that owner.

That's a really clever and creative idea. I've repurposed a number of furniture items but never a piano. I can see it in a family room as a conversation piece. Kudos to the designer.

My first thought was, this is pretty clever and nice looking but then

my second thought was who would turn a piano that maybe could be tuned or fixed into a bookcase?!

I couldn't do that to a piano or probably any musical instrument.

it is not usual to be able to have a piano.

Anybody can have a bookcase.

I don't know the "back story" behind the piece, but I see a gazillion posts about what to do with X,Y, Z when someone passes and no one wants the item.

Does it change your mind if this is a "treasured" item from someone who has passed on, and the recipient can't let it go but doesn't play the piano or doesn't have the space to support a piano so they repurpose it into something that they CAN use and still retain the item that was bequeathed?

It is a good idea for a musician but I prefer to keep things as they should be...repurposed just isn't my thing.

Neat! I saw something on Maine Cabin Masters where the cabin owners had an old piano (not a baby grand or anything fancy) that had belonged to a parent, but none of their children or grandchildren played. The Cabin Masters removed the keyboard, cleaned it up and mounted it over one of the doors. It looked pretty good!

Hopefully, this home also includes a keyboard that can be played!

No,it doesn't change my mind. And it is ugly.

Don't know your age,but in the 50's every thing was "repurposed". My Mom painted everything green. Her beautiful cedar chest which was a gift from Daddy in 1934 she painted green. I refinished it and went back to the original wood. Inside the chest is a little about the chest on the wood.

No it doesn't change my mind. I still think it is ugly.

I'm all for repurposing, but I don't like this at all. Even if the piano was broken beyond repair, I'd prefer to keep it as it's whole self.

Check on what it would cost you to repair an old piano and get it back into playing condition. This will suddenly become a more logical option.

Okay.

Ugly is different from "sad."

No. Regardless of the whys and wherefores I have no interest in a baby grand piano being converted to shelving and wall art... None at all... Repurposing can and usually does go too far... It certainly did here...
