I go to the dump once a week to take my recycling and I always check out the dumpsters out back to see if I can find some goodies. This was my best find yet! You wouldn't believe what people will throw away, it kills me! There was no way I was leaving this ladder behind.
Do you think it was used on a boat? It has a very beachy feel with that rope.
How awesome is the rope? I left it just as I found it!
I was giddy with excitement, I am going to make a shelf out of it!
I had this awesome old door with a great patina,
so I attached the ladder to it and leaned it against the wall!
I added some of my bottles and shells, adding to the beachy look.
My kitty, Tea Tree, is wondering what his Momma is doing!
Great find or what?
Totally great find! I love it! Great idea to display it like you have! My cats would climb the ladder! lol
