I cut out the front panel for a drop down to make the organ desk height. So, I used two of those finials to help the roll back panel lay correctly when open. The organ had dated “bump outs” that I cut off. The panel was turned into a door with a large area for massive storage! The storage continues behind the side panels. I found dollar store bins that fit perfect to hold office supplies. Currently, the keys are hanging in my craft room and still might turn them into a shelf for another area.Ībove the organ is getting busy as a desk with all that storage!!! I turned the area where the pedals for the pump was into shelves with a small door. At first, I thought I would use the keys as a shelf but realized they would take up too much room. I made a cubby that would fit inside the organ where the keys use to be. Then I used a mixture of leftover oil-based stains for a surprise color when you open the organ. I didn’t have to do any sanding to the organ before applying the paint…whew! I did write a post about sanding the chalked paint, using waxes and “where” to sand! I love the color and how easy the paint goes on. I picked Rustoleum’s Chalked Paint in Country Gray for the paint. Otherwise, I wanted to keep the organ intact. It’s surprising how much is inside a pump organ !!įor this organ, I wanted to gut the insides for loads of storage. Plus I still have pieces for more projects. It was such a great deal…I bought two! The first one was turned into a garden bench, a potting bench, a faux mantel, a chalkboard and a vintage style table lamp. This pump organ was bought at our local Habitat for Humanity ReStore for $50. Pump-organ-makeover | Country Design Style |
