Jumping on the painted furniture bus

A few years ago, my church offered this piano to anyone who would rescue it. I promised to take good care of it, which included re-painting it. It used to be a player piano. Not sure I will restore it to that state any time soon, but repaint it, I shall - finally! Here's a "before" shot. Updates as soon as I have progress to share. Stay tuned.
