We live in a split foyer home and don't have a proper entry as you come in our front door so I have always used the top of our stairs as our "entry". I have wanted to change that area up for a long time and make it more us. Thanks to a free 1897 organ I picked up at a yard sale this summer, that change happened. There were many pieces to the organ that I will use for different projects, but for our entry, these panels were perfect!
I took the side pieces off of the panels (I will save those side pieces for another project) so I was just left with two panels.
The panels have amazing details so I painted them a soft color (Lazy Linen) from Country Chic Paint to really highlight the details. When the paint dried, I used sandpaper to distress them.
In the end, this repurposed organ looks beautiful in our entry! I love how the panels look like art pieces now!
I shared the entire transformation over at Country Chic Paint Blog. Check it out! The links to the post are on my blog! Can't wait to see what other things I can do with the many other pieces to the organ!
Enjoyed the project?
