We did it. We painted the piano. Again. I shared a couple posts back that I had the itch to change it up and had a soft pink on the brain. It was like it came to me in a dream, not really just in a daydream actually. So I went with it. After thinking pink I searched my paint deck and online looking for ideas. I came across chalk paint in a soft pink. I had originally used chalk paint the first time we painted our piano and loved the result, not to mention how quick and easy it was to paint. I decided to go with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint again. My sweet hubby actually painted it pink for me when he got home early from work one day. It took him about an hour and there wasn’t paint everywhere like there would be if I did it.
Painted Piano Before
Remember this is what it looked like before? After uploading this picture I realized I do still like the before. But I was ready for a change. I get something in my head and it drives me crazy until I change it. Please say I am not alone?! Like that temporary wallpaper- it was and is still so cute. But it had to come down. Thankfully temporary wallpaper is just as easy to take down as it is to put up. There was zero damage to the wall.
The piano before was painted in Paris Gray Chalk Paint
Painted Piano After
It is a fun change and I really love it for Spring. It didn’t even take half of the can of chalk paint to paint the piano. It really goes pretty far. That is with two coats of paint. I finished it with a wax top coat from Annie Sloan Chalk Paint. That is a must! I used the brush they recommend with the wax. I would recommend looking up a local place to you that sells Chalk Paint. The best thing about using Annie Sloan Chalk Paint is that you can leave it right in your home! We just put down a drop cloth and painted it in the room.

Below are all Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Colors- Love Pure White, Paris gray and Antoinette
We changed up the chairs also. I kept my pink chair- just moved it to a different spot. I love THESE white chairs that we went with. I really wanted to add another chair to the side of the piano. Every week we have to pull an extra chair from the kitchen to the piano when the piano teacher comes to our house. Or when I sit down to help the girls. These chairs are small scale, comfy and I love the bright white.
Another change I made was painting THIS big clock. My clock has always bugged me. I know a couple of people who own this clock and their clock is a brighter white. Mine was cream and looked dirty with the new white chairs (see above picture).

We used Chalk Paint in Antoinette
I have to say that after we bought it I wished I would have tried THIS chalk paint- from all that I have seen it looks basically the same and half the price!

I love the pink, how fabulous is this. I am not sure I would have had the nerve to paint a piano, but this is amazing.
haha! Thank you! I figured it is just paint and can be changed again:) and again and again!
Wow!!!! What a difference that little wall of your house has undertaken. It’s SO beautiful!!! Both ways, actually. Your home is always so warm and cozy looking. I can’t wait to see the rest of that room. I swear my husband told me the other day I have to stay off your blog cause I keep getting more ideas for projects around our own house. We don’t have a piano, though, so I think I’m safe reading this one. Haha!! š
Thank you!! Haha! That is hilarious. Thanks so much for reading!
LOVE the pink!!! It’s so subtle yet so fun. I loved that wallpaper you had up but change is so refreshing! Thank you for your daily inspiration <3 <3
Thank you! I know that paper was so cute- It would have worked here too…but change is fun.
hey girl- love the piano and the clock! so cool!
Thank you Shawnna!
I LOVE it!! I have been looking at that same pink paint for my dining room sideboard. Now that I have seen this I am going to go for it. Also love the new chairs! This space is perfection!!
Thank you so much! How fun you are painting something pink!
Love this!! The link seems to be broken for the more affordable chalk paint you wish you would’ve tried. Which one were you referring to? Thanks!!
I tried it and the link worked:) It is Rustoleum
Thank you!
Link is not working for me either.
weird…I tried it again here it is- http://rstyle.me/~9IzNi
Love, love, love! The pops of white next to the soft pink, and the sprig of green, so gorgeous!
thank you!!
Itās really interesting what you say here. I wait for more! š
E just LOVE the wallpaper you had up before, but it is sold out! Do you have any other recommendations for something similar?
I just*
I love it too- you can find it here- https://www.chasingpaper.com/products/night-florals
I love it!!! I painted my piano Paris grey last year! I was debating between several colors including Antibis Green! But the grey won out and I do love it! I loved this corner of your home before, but I’m loving it again now! Thanks for the inspiration you are to me! Also, for some reason the other brand of chalk paint wouldn’t open on my phone. Was it by chance the rustoleum brand? I was thinking you had mentioned that before??? Have a great day! ?
I do love that Paris Grey too! Yes it is that rustoleum brand- don’t know why it isn’t working- it is on my computer.
Thanks so much for your comment!
You are not alone. Lol
Love the pink- it’s so pretty and soft- with the wall and the clock, it really brightens up the space (although it was lovely before too!).
I laughed about needing to act right away when you get an idea. I am the same way. With me it’s usually rearranging things. One of these days, my hubby will come home and wonder if he’s in the right place because I am always moving something. š
Have a great day!
Thanks you! I really like it now too:) fun to try new things….ALL the time!
