I got this ladder the other day for free, that's right free it doesn't get any better than that. I loved the sized it probably went to a set of bunk beds originally. I had seen a similar version on Pinterest a while back and thought this ladder would be perfect to make a photo ladder. I primed it and painted it a silky gray color and top coated it with water based poly. I found the 3 frames brand new at a thrifty store and painted them with some spray paint. I put some eyelet screw on the top of each frame and tied them with jute to the ladder. I was so lucky that the rungs where close enough together that the bottom of the frame had support, I never even gave it a thought when I bought them to complete this project, one lucky girl! I will put this in the store for sale so I needed to finish it off with some eye catching graphics. Of course I went to "The Graphics Fairy" and found the key, crown, and bird. I sized them and printed them out on a sheet of lettered paper I had printed out in advance. The frames would look nice with pictures of the family in them too so it will be totally up to the new owner to decide. I love unusual ways to decorate and I think this ladder is nice because it can go anywhere and doesn't have to be attached to a wall. Thanks for stopping by check back again I will have more upcyled projects for you to look over.
Very cute! You certainly can't beat a free!!

I can't wait until I can do something with a ladder... my Ella would just climb her little self right on that and fall... ahhh the joys of motherhood.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea! That looks like the perfect size ladder, not too big.
