My new piano!!
Well, it's my used piano with a rejuvenated finish. :-)
Sometime in the last 4 years this piano started looking horrible (wish I had before photos). It had an odd white film all over it (from some bad reaction to a cleaner). I couldn't get it off & had given up…until yesterday. I used steel wool to scrub it off - even at the risk of scratching because anything was better than how it was looking! 
With a good bit of scrubbing, washing & scrubbing some more...it came off. Then with a coat of Old English it smoothed out the finish & covered up any evidence of scratches. It really looks lovely & I am so happy!
The piano bench top was severely worn so did a complete sanding & restraining. Lucky we had a matching stain in the garage cabinet.
Speaking of stain, projects & garage cabinets…I tackled organizing our stain, paint & lawn supplies this week. I ditched a lot of old cans & put some order to what remained. PS: I may have a Paint Problem in addition to my Pyrex Problem. :-/

  1. Oh Jane your piano looks beautiful...I'm so happy that you did what you did rather than painting it like the ones we saw...you brought it back to life!!! Old English is a life saver!
