What is it about vintage ladders that I find so irresistible? I mean we've all seen it in pages of magazines and blog posts over and over again, and yet it's hard not to do a double take when we see them. Is it just me, or do you agree?
(First three photos above via Poetic Home) Let me show you another ladder I bought (my third...yikes!) at the Irvine Flea Market recently. Some of you may have seen my second one below where I did a post last August.
Well here's the latest addition to my ladder collection (what...who collects ladders??? I have a sickness!!!) This one is honest to goodness vintage. I love the "X" factor on its back side (hah!).
I love how there's so many layers of paint drops all over...I can't even imagine how many rooms this baby has painted!
And love, love, love it's metal handle/carrier...I haven't seen this style before so, can't help but carry her home with me, now residing in mon cheri's man cave.

I couldn't believe it when I opened your post,I had only a few hours before commented to my husband about vintage wooden ladders, and how I would love one to hang my vintage tea towels in the kitchen. Then, there you were blogging about the exact same thing. I love your new addition and yes, love the spots of paint too. x
I adore ladders too!
These images are beautiful!
Love the one with the decor books and the flowers in vases!

You make me want to go out and buy a ladder just to decorate. Love the blue one.
I like ladders, too, and yours is so cute, Marie! I like the metal on it, too.
You has a great blog. I'm very like and interesting to stop here. Dont forget to give us your comment back at my blog here
Oh Yes, I love ladders, too. I have two, one in my living room and one in my summer porch that has been turned into a junk room now that summer is over. Your last one is fabulous! I love the way you decorated it, that fab clock and the huge globe are wonderful!!!

Hi Marie,
I've had my eye on an old ladder over at my parents house...But not sure what I would do with it...Now I do :-) Thanks for the inspiration. Can't wait to get my hands on it...Hee, hee, hee. Just found your lovely blog and can't wait to look around some more. Have a wonderful day.

If I had more room I would have ladders all over...love them! The one you got at the Irvine Flea Market is my fav :O)
Hope you're having a great week.

You've got some great ladders there, Marie! I love how you stacked the books on the first one. And how cool is that 2nd ladder with the paint splashes? When I brought one home like that (splashes and all), my husband was wondering why in the world I wouldn't sand it down to get rid of the old paint. Ha ha!

Fantastic ladders! Sigh! I have yet to find one. Hope you're having a grand Sunday. Toodles, Kathryn
