Okay is it just me, or are vintage ladders everywhere... and fabulous?!? Earlier this week I caught Houzz's Ideabook featuring 12 ways to use vintage ladders and just loved all the dreamy images! Their feature led me to some more ideas for using vintage ladders at home.
So, I'd like to devote this week's Head Over Heel's post to....
Vintage Ladders and their versatility! May they happily be in households everywhere!

Lastly, here is a look at our little vintage ladder in our kitchen nook. Sorry the picture quality is on the crappy side (new camera is on my birthday list!). The lighting in our nook is never workable.
Our ladder is used as a shelf for a basket holding my antique table linens and as a rack where I have a couple of my numbered chair covers hung while they aren't being used.

Thanks for checking out this week's Head Over Heels post!
Do you have a vintage ladder at home? What do you use it for? Or are you dying to go find one now?
Have a great weekend everyone! I'll be back tomorrow with a radiator cover update!

We love them too! We had been keeping our eye out for one at antique stores but we came across one in our OWN house! There was one in the attic of our garage :)

ReplyDeleteI have wanted a vintage ladder forever! I love the way you used yours. I also love the idea of using one as a pot rack. They are so versatile!
