I found this idea in Country Sampler magazine and I just loved it. For some unkown reason, I have a thing for old ladders. My daughter has several friends over today and they are stuck in side due to the snow so, I used this idea to create a place to display their dress up and accessories. They loved it so much she wants me to keep it in her room however, she did request that I paint the ladder a fun color like hot pink! (I of course, love the old worn rustic look of the ladder and would not change a thing!) I think I need one for myself!!
I am so excited about this project because it was so easy and it's so functional. I had this old ladder that I pulled out of the trash several years ago just sitting in the basement not being utilized. My intentions were to turn it into a magazine rack but, I never got around to it. I came up with this idea instead of just using it as a magazine rack, I could take it a step further and turn it into a vertical organization station. It's a black board, an inspiration board, and a magazine rack and it add character to the room. How fun is that. If you know how to use a staple gun and wire cutters you are all set.
