The First Ugly Step Sister...

The story continues (see post below if you missed the once upon a time part).  The first ugly step sister was tired of being called cheap and glossy.  
She had seen some hard times, a little girl with a magic marker, coins glued to her top, a few dings and dents.  But she knew a better future was in store.  She threw off her traditional ways, and with a little sanding and primer and paint (gray and white), she became a hip and chic piece,

complete with new jewelry (I had to retrofit handles, used washers to hide the old holes).
Step sister number one hopefully will soon be living a new, glamorous life in a new home.
