What was once an out of tune vintage piano ridden with scuff marks has been transformed into an at-home bar with LED lights, a varnished counter and wine rack.

DIY pro Julie, believed to be from the UK, impressed thousands after sharing before and after images online.

While the project took three months to complete, she said it was completely 'worth it' and was thrilled with the impressive end result. 

Previously other creative DIY enthusiasts have upcycled old cabinets into cocktail bars, but none have attempted to do so with a piano.

After acquiring the Grotrian Sternberg instrument, she watched a series of YouTube videos to understand how to dismantle the piano correctly.

'I would suggest to wear safety glasses and gloves as the wires are sharp and spring around everywhere when removing,' she said.

Julie didn't reveal exactly how she transformed the piano into a bar, but it was no longer able to function as an instrument afterwards. 

One notable error Julia pointed out, which she's planning to fix, is how the new images of the piano keys were placed on backwards. 

With assistance from her partner, a glass rack was added under the top counter of the piano and the LED lights change to different colours. 

The finished look was outstanding and adds a point of difference compared to upcycled cabinets into similar wine bars.

The social media post was quickly flooded with words of praise and was 'liked' by more than 3,800 people.  

'I was a bartender almost 30 years and this is awesome!!!' one person wrote.

'Excellent idea, time for a whiskey neat and some Miles Davis,' another added.

A third said: 'Shut the front door! That's amazing! You would have no trouble selling that if you chose to.'
