Playing a new tune

Many years ago I was given this piano for free. It is from the 1920's and used to be a beauty before it was chopped to make it more modernized in the 40's. It was pretty beat up and had a lot of ware including being dropped out of the back of a moving truck (that is why I got it free). I have wanted to do something to it ever since I first got it home. But what to do? Angie was here to visit this summer and joyfully agreed to help me turn this... In to THIS...
I love how it turned out and all the kids can't wait to get their hands on it!
