I found an old metal ladder.
I took the back part off that was broken by using a sledge hammer.
I spray painted it white and then sanded it to give it a little wear.
I had an empty wall near the fireplace that could use something long and skinny.
It works as a nice backdrop for the small chair and end table.
The lavender in the basket coordinates with the lavender topiaries.
The lanterns were purchased about 8 years ago at Kirkland Home.
I still use them all the time.
A simple display…
A match box hangs from an iron hook. It holds greenery in the warmer months.

If you think the side of your house looks bad, you should see the inside of my barns. lol But how can we NOT collect, when we just know there will be the perfect use for our junk…someday. Your lovely ladder is a good case in point. ;)Thanks for linking to Time Travel Thursday, Holly. It's always so much fun to see your pretty projects.Blessings,Liz @ The Brambleberry Cottage

I am in love with your ladder and the little basket filled with lavender. I have wanted a ladder for a long time, but never had a place to put it. I just did some moving of furniture and have a space. The hunt begins!
Very simple and sweet looking mantle. LOVE the BLACK lanterns.JoAnnsweetpepperrose.blogspot.com

I can't believe that was an old metal ladder. Seriously. Everything you touch turns to amazing.~Bliss~
So lovely…my friend. Soooooo lovely.
Lovely is right…great idea!
Holly, So pretty! I just love your living room. The ladder looks so cool!! ~ Jamie
Very pretty. You did a great job. Visiting for the first time from Inspiration Friday.
I would never have thought that an old metal ladder could turn out so well. I'm sure I would have just passed it up. Looks great.
What a great idea to take off the other side. I have a huge cherry picking ladder in the shed waiting for me to do something with it. Have a wonderful Mother's Day.
So beautiful! I love the way the basket looks hanging from the ladder. I adore those lanterns too.Blessings to you,Kathleen
Loving the way that turned out! What a great idea to add some dimension to that corner. I adore your style!
Another beautifully styled room! All your rooms look like they came straight out of a magazine.
Totally love the old ladder!!! I am working in my backyard today and would LOVE to find one of those for my deck!

Oh my goodness, did you ever make that ladder into a beauty! It looks great in your room. Lovely ladder, lavender, and lanterns!!!
Love that!!! Again, you're just so darn clever. I would never have thought to create something like that. Wish I could think outside of the box as well as you. That is a-d-o-r-a-b-l-e! Where did you buy your lavendar? Is it real?
Ladder, lavender, lantern, lovely. Your home is so pretty, Holly.
