#1. 'Mrs. Bonnie Teller'. Did she really come to our home in all of her Distressed Glory (crushed shoulder, split thigh, bubbling & pealing paint) in 2000?!? Well, the time has come to extract her from the box in the basement...
Give her a Bath, then Bondo/fiberglass those boo-boos...
SAND! SAND! SAND!
....then sand some More!
Primer!
Paint...
And Oh.My.Gosh! Isn't she GREAT??!
So Versatile - from Surfer Chick...
to Cocktail Babe!
(Her 'support' is an incredible find from Friday's Saling - an OLD, adjustable height MICROPHONE stand!)
#2: The PIANO STOOL finale - ended up just painting the Claw feet a bronze color to accent the detailing- left 'well-enough' alone- THANKS for all of your input!!
Hope everyone has a GEEAT HOLIDAY next weekend! CHEERS!!
Ps. Mrs. B. Teller, also has a STAGE name now - SESAME SHIMMER!!! She just seems a little too Fancy in her new 'hotness' for her old Frumpy name! (Besides, it's a Great paint color on her- isn't it?!)

Well, Hazel is feeling quite inadequate after seeing Sesame Shimmer all gussied up. maybe SS (HEY GREAT INITIALS!) could take Hazel out on the town? You guys are on a roll with your projects lately! Great job! (Also, I read BOO BOOs as BOOBS, so I had a whole nuther vision in my head!!!!
Sesame Shimmer looks as good as new and will turn a lot of heads now! Great job! (Rob)
The doll looks fantastic! Would love to have her...
Congrats on the awesome fixup job for glamorous Sesame Shimmer! Makes me nostalgic for the armless mannequin I used to keep in my bedroom, name of Ethel ... ended up giving her to a designer friend - but she was sure fun to dress up and startle people with!
I also really like what you did with the piano stool. I was in the "leave it as is" camp, but the bronze claw feet are just the right touch. Good job!
