I purchased this wooden ladder at some yard sale some moves back. I love it but I haven't done too much with it. In fact, I've had family members secretly put it in the trash and I fished it out--but I LOVE IT and knew there was potential in this piece.
It's a piece of art in progress. I'm adding one element of design at a time.
For my first step, I found some cute paper from Close to My Heart.
I cut it to size using the area between the ladders rungs as my measurement.
Got out the double-sided tape. Mind you, I don't want this to be permanent. I'd love to change it for the season/holidays.
And I have step one done.
Eventually something will go in the center of each square, but for now, I've added a little color to some otherwise plain walls. And being the person I am, have made it easy to change out when I become bored with the patterns.
Any suggestions for the centers? I'm open to suggestions.
that is such a good idea. you could put flowers, leaves, pictures, letters, etc in the middle
ReplyDeletethank you for stopping by EMI and leaving a comment on "Our Summer Roundup" I also like find things and reusing them, I actually took the back's off of three old antique chairs and used them for wall decorations.
