Here’s a project I’m very keen on and I’m sure you may enjoy it just as much using the ladder as main subject. Either strictly for decoration or storage purposes, using it will make your life much easier and give your home a cool look while keeping it simple. 

Here 12 funky ideas of how to work this out without the help of a builder…


1. Children’s room storage 

This is a simple fun trick to keep your cheeky monkey’s things organised while involving a bit of decorations on the top shelves. Also no hidden drawers therefore no looking much for potentially lost items.

This is just clever. No need for a huge chest of drawers, no need for wall stuck shelves, no things spread around your bathroom. In a nutshell: no messy bathroom.

I’m in love with this little project and I’m definitely getting my own soon. This is a trick I got from my father who had built one in seconds. Easy peasy lemon squeeze, the clumsiest of women could work out how to use few nails and a bit of wood!
