New Addition to the Household

We got a piano!

I am beyond excited. I took lessons for many many years, but haven't had a piano in my own home since I lived with my parents.

My mom has the antique family piano (estimated to be from around the 1920s), and while it was what I grew up playing, it has finally started to show its age. It's difficult to keep in tune, and some of the keys don't play when they are struck.

For the past few months, David and I have been poking around seeing if we would find a piano for our own home. I want to keep in better practice (I would toodle around on my parents' piano once every few months), and I'd love for my son to have the opportunity to play someday.

Doesn't she just look like she belongs there?

I found this piano listed on Facebook Marketplace for a song. It's a Baldwin Classic, and according to the seller, only six or seven years old. Score!

It took a little bit of work to arrange a piano mover on a day that worked for both the seller and me, but she's here!

Look at that gorgeous detailing!

I have a piano tuner coming out in two days to get her settled in. In the meantime, I've been toodling away! Best purchase we've made in a while, hands down.
