"New" Piano

We got a "new" piano a few weeks ago. It is a 1923 Kimball piano. It was in pretty bad cosmetic shape and in need of some serious tlc. I spent this last week restoring it while Lidia was with the kids in Washington.
(She took the camera, so pics are from my cell... sorry!)
These are the after and before

Before
Sanded
Stained
Varnished
Moved in! (Lidia and I did it by ourselves!)
Our original plan was to keep it in our downstairs bedroom, but we quickly realized it didn't fit around the corner into the hallway, so for now it has to stay in the family room. Abby loves to sing and 'play' it.
