Today, I would like to show off my little
VINTAGE WOODEN STEP-LADDER..
*
This little ladder I rescued from our DUMPSTER...Oh, it had a little broken step....
but I loved it anyway !
and it was all dark, and gray and paint splattered...
CLEARLY showing what it's use was the 1ST TIME AROUND...
and I loved it anyway...
WHY would someone THROW AWAY such a cute little thing....??
*
*
(you do recognize the little bunny towel from KARI&KIJSA...)
i LOVE that little bunny.....
he, along with his PILLOW BROTHER, has hopped around
all over this cottage...been in many rooms and they both
look GREAT anywhere they are used!
*
When it's opened up.....just take a look at the ADORABLE little shelf..
that in it'self would be reason enuf to KEEP it,
don't you think ??
*
*
A PERFECT place to sit a pot of RED GERANIUMS....or a pot of PURPLE PANSIES.....
*
*
I sure wish I could paint and I would have handpainted thislittle cutie...as it is...those cute little rub-on
decals look pretty cute on this yellow washed ladder now....
(i also wish i could get my font back to a normal size!!)
*
(why did my font get so big and then....small again??)*
I love even the silver colored thingys that hold
it all together...
Mr. Sweet looks at it, at times, and shakes his head.....
MEN.....they just don't get it !
Beauty REALLY IS in the EYE OF THE BEHOLDER, I guess....
SHEILA, did you know that you CAN love a little
wooden step-ladder with a broken step ??
YOU CAN !!
;O)
XO,bj

Have a very blessed Tuesday.
I love the ladder and never would have not know you didn't paint it if you hadn't told.
Your ladder is adorable and I love the bunny towel from K&K! I think I sold my little step ladder like that at my last yard sale. I'm going to look for it tommorrow. Boy am I going to be sad if I can't find it!
I love your ladder, great popcorn bowl also
The ladder makes the perfect plant stand! :) Great idea bj!
The ladder is cute but LOVE the popcorn bowl!
BJ, that is just cute as can be! I love what you did with it, and I recognized that towel because I've eyed it before and LOVE it!
And your cute red popcorn bowl is perfect for your kitchen!
Thanks for sharing! Enjoyed this post!
Happy 2nd Time Tuesday...
XO,
Sheila :-)
I love your ladder makeover! I can only imagine what it looked like before lol
Now...if your wanting to fix your post (the size of your font) you can go back and use your edit button and highlight the section you want smaller and then go to the "Tt" in the box above your text area and change it. The reason it stayed big-- you didn't break the link when you went larger in your text :-)
Welcome to Ruby Tuesday!
I love the popcorn bowl and the red pan and the little red knob on the black and white pot - so cute!
The ladder is cute as well - a great second time around item.
My post is here: Carletta’s Captures.
My Dear Bj..I hope you are presently popping more popcorn...as while enjoying your post I may have emptied the bowl on your dear Hubby....
I love your little ladder...how fun and perfect with your towel displayed on it...
Lol...not quite as grand perhaps as the secretary that our lovely hostess Diane shared BUT still a beautiful display piece all the same....And now if I could stop leaving such long winded comments on all my favorite blogs I could get on with my post for today...so I'm Step-in up here to get it done...get it? LOL...ladder...stepppin up......
Grin...
Oh...and the BIG FONT was ok with me...all the better to see you with!
Good morning, sweet BJ. I stopped by for just a minute as I head off to work.
Your ladder is great, and my husband would love a popcorn bowl like that, too.
Life is still too hectic, but we're still hopeful. I take my mother back to the doctor this Friday.
BJ,this is the cutest ladder I've ever seen! Clever!
Your ladder is adorable. I think they make great little decorative items. Any surface to put things on or hang the perfect towel!
Good morning BJ...Thanks for another fun visit to your sweet cottage today! I'm leaving with a smile on my face as I usually do...
;-) Bo
That ladder is cute. It does look hand-painted!
I love the popcorn bowl - such a perfect red for Ruby Tuesday.
Thanks for visiting me this morning.
Happy Ruby Tuesday ~
Your popcorn bowl is just great for Ruby Tuesday. Glad you are joining the Tuesday fun.
Ruby Tuesday? I will have to join in soon! I have lots of red too:>) The little stepladder is darling. I have one I have ben meaning to paint too. It's a busy week here so I may not get around again until next week. Happy Easter to you dear BJ! God Bless you!
Hi BJ,
So glad you joined Ruby Tuesday! Thanks for your visit to my simple world.
OMG... my oldest grandson has called me "mema" from the moment he could talk. He's grown and on his own now, but still calls me that. I love it too!
I understand totally about dumpster rescue ~ Your step ladder is great.
Have a wonderful week.
Namaste'
Barb:-)
oh... Your music is right down my alley also!
I love the sweet ladder and I think red geraniums may be my favorite flower.
Happy Tuesday

Love your ladder. I'm looking for one myself-I want to use it to hang my blankets.
Happy 2nd time around Tuesday!
So do you give painting lessons?
Love it!
Blessings

I love vintage step ladders! I love to cover the steps and top with mosaics..They do make great plant shelves. They even look great beside a reading chair or as a night stand!
Hugs,
Penny
Aw that looks so cute now! You saved the ladders life hehe. Have a great day!
All the best,
Allison
You're so right,they just don't get it.Mine always says,"now what do you want that for?"or even my son,I bought a chair at the thrift store to re-do.my own son said, "what do you want another chair for?'when we got home i was experimenting with fabrics to re-cover it with.he said,"you don't need that.Why don't you let me take it home?"go figure?????????????
anyway the ladder is precious.i love the little flowers you put on it.If you have a porch,that would look cute there...Ann
What a GREAT ladder! I love it! I want one! :)
Hugs..
Mona
Hello BJ, thank you for your message on my blog !

Carole.
Love the ladder makeover! I saw a ladder in catalog that had some books on it and it was some crazy price like $200! Your's is so much cuter!
Manuela

BJ - welcome to your first Ruby Tuesday. Love your kitchen goodies. AND - THAT - LADDER - ROCKS!!!
What a fun popcorn bowl. Very creative use of the ladder. I like it!
Oh my sweet little Jean, how like you to drag an old ladder with a broken step out of the dumpster and make it look like a million dollars! You just never cease to amaze me! That little bunny towel looks right at home hanging on that adorable little ladder. I do believe you could make a junkyard look good!
Love you dear friend!
Martha
What lovely photos...each one!
Fun Ruby Tuesday post!!
Hi BJness! Oh, I love that popcorn bowl. I love my popcorn,too, and it's one of my favorite snacks along with milkshakes, candy, etc. :)
Now that little ladder is just darling! I wouldn't have to do something like that! It is so cute!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Hi BJ,
I've always wanted one of those ladders to use as a plant stand. Love the way yours looks.
Thanks for being a part of 2nd Time Around!
:) Diane
Oh...nothing...really...just taking another peek at that ladder..that's all. Just....looking.. :)
Oh BJ that ladder is adorable! I have a vintage ladder that belonged to my hubby's grandma. I had it on my back porch, waiting for new plants when along comes the cable guy for a scheduled visit. You know that young man decided to try to use it and broke it! I didn't know it until he had left...my youngest watched him out the window but didn't tell me until he left. I've kept the pieces and now I am going to have to get it fixed! LOL!
Hugs,
Dena
Love that popcorn bowl...too cute! That little ladder is darling...you'd spend a fortune in an antique shop or gift store to buy something like that! :-) susan
BJ, thanks for coming by and seeing my little corner of the kitchen...and girl I feather duster has beed my best friend for years now..like they say your home should reflect's who you are and that must mean I'm an antique ha ha!! oh wait a minute I am...hugs and smiles Gl♥ria
Cute little step ladder to double as a shelf...it looks really good with those pot of flowers on it!!! Thanks for sharing your great find!!
That popcorn bowl is just too adorable...I'm like Mr. Sweet Nothings, I love my popcorn:-)
Omigosh, I love your little ladder and leave it to you to see so much possibility in a rundown ladder and make it such a wonderful work of art!! xoxo
The popcorn bowl is fun and I also love that bright red trivet in front of it! Your ladder is so cute and a great place to hang your bunny towel. I thought it was painted - you've given hope to a fellow non-artist!
I sympathize with the large font problem - I sometimes can't stop the underlining. And there's no button for that.
Robin
That is adorable!!
