After years of use, damage, and warping, some pianos can fall too deeply into disrepair to ever come back from the brink.
When Reddit DIY-er Fioricascastle found an old, gorgeous piano on Craigslist, he inquired how much the owner wanted in exchange for it.
Since the piano could no longer play music, the owner told this DIY-er they'd be more than happy to give him the instrument for free, so long as he could arrange for its removal.
Happy with that deal, he picked this piano up, and immediately got to work realizing his dreams of turning this gorgeous instrument into a wine bar.
He started his project by ripping out some of the piano's keys and covers.
Then, he began removing all of the piano's harp strings.
With the harp completely ripped out, the piano was well on its way toward its new transformation.
This DIY-er had to cut off part of one of the piano's back panels to make more room for the wine rack storage it would soon house.
Next, this DIY-er installed a wave wine bottle shelf.
On top of the wine bottle shelf, this DIY-er installed a custom wine glass rack.
Just to ensure his piano wine bar was absolutely magical in style and flare, this DIY-er added in LED lights — illuminating the piece from within.
The lights transition through all sorts of different colors, making the stored wine bottles glow.
He added a piece of glass over the piano's keys as well, protecting them from future wear and tear.
Now, this piano, which once entertained guests aurally, can provide friends and family a whole new level of fun.
When this piano's life was nearly over, a crafty DIY-er stepped in to save the day.
He completely transformed this instrument into an entirely new entity, sure to keep his guests' spirits up for years to come.
This DIY-er saved an old, nearly-trashed piano, and transformed it into a magical new wine bar.
