Ladder Ladder on the wall……
If you are a regular reader of my blog you know I am becoming a little thrifty in my latest decor adventures.
Its also a great way to learn new tricks and crafty ways of using everyday items for design.
We are due for a council pick up in our area and for those who don’t know what this means, basically you get to put out on your verge all your trashy large items.
This could be fridges, pots, furniture…….basically household items that you wouldn’t put in your trash can/rubbish bin.
Well we found a large old wooden ladder……its already grey in colour which is perfect. But perfect for what.
As I sent husband for a walk around the block to see if the ladder was still there he did ask are you sure you know what you are going to use it for.
Absolutely…………………..I will work it out when you get it back here………………Still looking for inspiration.
The other problem is I already have 2 decorative indoor ladders.
One is used for housing magazines and the other used to sit inside my large pot with flowers all around it.
But that has gone to a new home and now my narrow ladder keeps getting moved around the house.
So what will I use this new aged grey ladder for. Well its very chunky and much bigger.
So I am thinking these images are the start of some interesting ideas to come.
Book shelf
Hanging something from somewhere.
In my Laundry, where I can’t reach the top shelves.
Add some blackboards, cork boards covered in fabric and some quotes of the week.
Use it for adding some pictures and decorative items for personality
In our last renovation I decorated the front entrance with my magazine ladder.
Have you got any other images or ideas I haven’t thought of or have here.
Please let me know.
Love it as a magazine rack mounted above the desk! don’t you just love free treasures :)
I have an old weathered ladder in our backyard but also don’t know what to do with it… ;-)
Wow, you’ve found some great inspiration pics there – now which one to choose? Could it be used outside? As in on your patio/entertaining area with pot plants sitting on it (if each step was large enough to do so). I always keep my eye open now when there is verge collection :)
Great ideas, I have seen some great pics of them used in the bedroom or walk in robe with shoes hanging from them by the heels or scarves, ties & long necklaces draped over them. Soo many choices, cant wait to see its new home!!
I really love the last image– ladder as magazine rack. A friend of mine has one in her small bathroom and it’s perfect! Thanks for posting about the Style Play Workshop on your sidebar!! All best wishes,

Love the last image with ladder as magazine rack. My friend has one in her small bathroom and it’s the perfect space-saving solution. Thanks for putting the SPWS poster on your sidebar! All smiles,

I know you’ll figure something about with regards to the ladder. I love the different examples/inspiration you showcased too. XX
Wow what a crazy project! I have no idea what you could use the ladder for other than the ideas you already have, so this will be very interesting!! I hope you will keep us updated =)
