We went and bought a piano today. We are so insane. *sigh*
Aw, I'm jealous.
Learning to play piano is still on my list of things to do someday.
But more realistically, I need to find a local violin teacher one of these days. I now have a nice fiddle, courtesy of my little sister. Well...I did pay her. But she was the one who found it, fixed it up, and got it to me. They brought it to the wedding with 'em.
I love 'em too. We plotted the rest of our basement - fake wood floor with an area rug on top. Got supplies to try out various paint combos. And a half-wall along the side between our finished side and the laundry room side. It'll be extra wide, with an electric fireplace in the middle. Stone tiles around the fireplace for a hearth effect and then built in bookcases on either side. And it'll be wide enough to have a full counter edge, for a bar. We can put stools on the other side and have a great little social area, plus counter space.
Then we discussed things to do to our somewhat useless upper bathroom - it has a tub we never use but no shower. We could replace the sink with a smaller, washbowl style, replace the tub with a deep one with jets, maybe, and make it a really luxorious room. That's the third distant project most likely.
Our after-basement project is the kitchen so we discussed options for that... from the bare minimum to the add counterspace option. And then we even looked at patio furniture for the patio we might someday build.
We watched an episode of Futureweapons tonight and I thought about you. They were at White Sands testing the THAAD. Most kewl!
What kind of piano did you get. We bought an electronic piano several years ago.
