We started with the bench, I thought it would be the easiest to do. We had to strip off the old stain, sand, re-stain and put on the gloss coat. It took forever!!! Really it wasn't to bad the worse was getting the old nasty junk off. Here's a pic of how the bench looked after we got done stripping and sanding it.
Here is the after! We did a black stain and a super high gloss! I think after we get the whole piano finished it's going to look sooooooo much better! I can hardly wait! Although... the piano is going to be not so much fun.. :(
Now the bench with the piano! It looks so much better up against the piano. Now comes the fun part of doing that whole piano!! Wish us luck!

What a chore! Good call starting with the "little" bench...chalk up a "quick" victory to keep you going:) The bench looks awesome and I'm sure the piano will be beautiful too!
BEAUTIFUL! You guys did a great job! Nothing like doing a project together!
Looks great! I'm so jealous that you have a piano! Ryan doesn't want one because he thinks i'll just bang on it. Men! :)
