I knew this piece had potential right away...
This is the piece that comes down over the keys... it already had 2 knobs on it and a long "piano" hinge. I secured the hinge so the pieces wouldn't move, then added a block to the back so the mantel would stand out from the wall...

hi Susan,
Wow what a great find!! I love the paint finish and the vintage handle that you added. I love the fact that it had those cute knobs on it already!!
