A Primitive Ladder

October 3, 2013

One of my recent outings I came across this chippy green primitive ladder.

Can you believe I actually saw this weeks ago but I passed it up!

Well that was before I brought my door home.

When I first spotted it I had no idea where to put it.

But after I placed this door here I hated seeing my light switch.

This ladder is petite and could be used anywhere,but this is the perfect spot in my house.

I love the color and chippy patina.

You can see I added pedestals for my pumpkins.One is a cake plate and the other is a candle stand.

Oh so much better and I don’t have to see my ugly light switch.

Okay I know I am not the only one that covers up light switches and outlets….right!

Because I love the chippy patina and I did not want to cover it up I only added that little lace panel….again to hide my light switch.

See those flowers,I bought those from our local farmers market.

I don’t know what they are but they are gorgeous!

I wish these flowers were faux I am going  to hate seeing these die.

These don’t show up at our market.I may have to find out what variety they are and plant some in my garden next year.

A bunch of these pretty flowers were   6.00 what a deal!

    I’m loving your chippy green ladder! It’s the perfect green. I use my ladder to hide the cracks in our plaster walls, so it takes a lot of linens to do the job. 🙂

    Love the ladder and the door <3. I believe the flowers are Lisianthus……one of my favourites.

    Love the ladder and the beautiful color. I have regrets about selling a similar one a few months ago. Now I’m looking for another one for one of my guest bedrooms. Hopefully I’ll find something soon.

    Anne,
    Love the ladder! I’ve been on the hunt for one to hold blankets and throws, especially with the colder temperatures approaching. Good for you.

    Love your ladder – I just don’t have the space. I am still trying to find a place for my old ladder after moving it from the front yard.

    You always find the coolest stuff! I love the color of that ladder and those flowers … when you said you only paid $6 my jaw hit the floor! They’re gorgeous. I had to laugh about the light switch … often times I photoshop those out of the picture! 🙂 Your corner is very pretty!!

ABOUT THIS BLOG

ABOUT THIS BLOG

Hi I'm Anne.
I started this blog many years ago to share my passion for home decor. My tastes have changed and so did I.
We recently moved to Florida and we are starting a new chapter. My main focus on this blog has shifted. With that I'll be sharing more than home decor.
You'll see makeup tips, skincare, fashion and a little bit of decor as well. You can check out my Youtube channel as well and follow me along. I'll leave all of my older posts up as a reference. But you'll see lots of changes.
