I have a story for you today.
Once upon a time there was a little girl. She had a beautiful spirit, was kind and had many friends. She was not ugly, but … maybe awkward. In second grade she got glasses after the teacher said she may have some learning problems. By 6th grade she had to wear the headgear for braces. Not pretty! Her friends still loved her and stuck by her. We all saw her beauty. In 8th grade, she was the Valedictorian for her graduating class. So much for learning problems! In high school, she started discovering what her style was and her spirit and determination stayed strong. She made many more friends too. Her senior year, she decided to run for Miss Kings County. She figured she didn’t have much of a chance, but she did it for the scholarship. In the end, she won! She was crowned as Miss Kings County! She was, and is, beautiful on the inside and the out. She still has her same group of friends, is a wife and a mom, and she glows with beauty. She just needed time to come into her own. I know all this, because she is my niece, and I am very blessed to have her in my life!
I tell you this story because, we can’t always see the beauty of somebody or something until some work is done. So it was with this little stool. Lauren and I are joining the Ugly April Makeover Challenge, No, not for ourselves!, but for a piece of furniture.
It just needs some braces, maybe some contacts, and some care. We hope to give it a new life. I am just going to give you some glimpses of it today and we will have the reveal next Monday.
I definitely think this need some tender loving care!
That’s it for today! Please join us again next Monday for the big reveal, the stories behind the ideas, and the bloopers!

I’ve drug home my fair share of ugly things that only I see the potential in. Sometimes I’m actually right. I can’t wait to see what you did with this.

Beautifully written and so true. Anxious to see what you do with the stool. Could it originally have been a piano stool?

I hope she was okay with it. I’m not sure what the stool was for. It was kind of short for a piano bench. Whatever it was, it was ugly! It’s looking better already!
