I wanted to thank the Houzz community for helping make the family room come together in my downsized retirement home. We love it!
So glad I can fit my “player” piano and watch the piano keys dance! I hardly enjoyed it in my old house where it was in its own isolated music room. Took your advice on protecting it with dual shades and protective windows. These dual shades are also used to watch (binge!!) shows on a movie screen that comes down from ceiling above fp (which doesn’t allow me to put things on the mantle. Oh well!).

Did I say that we practically live in this room??!! Other rooms have come along nicely as well. My bedroom is still a work in progress!
