Recycle: Coffee Mug Holder From Vintage Piano Music Desk

3 Materials
You've all seen them: old upright pianos that sometimes get neglected or even end up at the dump ground. My husband and I have a piano tuning, repair and rebuilding business. Occasionally someone calls and asks us if we'll take their old, unwanted piano. ..sometimes we do. ;-) But usually we just salvage parts we can reuse.
This project is made from the part called the music desk.

This is the final project but I'll show you how it started out. As I mentioned, this is the part called the music desk. We've recycled it into a mug holder using spoons as the holders. Now it just has to be mounted to the wall.
While this is not the actual piano , this photo indicates the part that was used. Now to let you know the process.
The middle section of the music desk was used for another project (a hanger for towels, etc. in one of our guest rooms.) It looks similar to this only longer. This mug/cup holder measures 18" high x 21" long.
These particular spoons were bent in a "U" shape so that the mugs would lie flat against the board.
Other possible uses-----
And here it is again! The cost for materials was almost free...but there was quite a lot of labor involved ;-)

I just sold it to a lovely young lady who's "not from around here" as they say in our area. LOL! She totally appreciated it as is very excited to put it in her new apartment.
