THRIFTED BLANKET LADDER
Attention Thrift Store Shoppers……..
Today’s blue light special…….. ladders for only $5!
If you have been around here for a while, you know we love thrift stores! One particular favorite is the Habitat for Humanity ReStore.
They often have old wooden ladders that are reasonably priced like $5. You can also find these rickety ladders at yard sales and other thrift stores as well.
Now, all that’s needed are some blankets and a little décor.
These blankets were found at, you guessed it, the thrift store.
The lanterns, and some of the pumpkins, also found at thrift stores.
Are you sensing a theme here? You betcha ya! #thriftstoreadicts

The old ladder is perfect for a ladder rack. Love it, and the blankets. I recently finished my old ladder project, and will be sharing soon. We found ours at a antique shop, wasn’t cheap. But we had been wanting one. I didn’t know that habitat for humanity restore sold ladders. I will have to be on the lookout for another ladder.

Linda, Oh, I was thinking of doing a ladder round up, so share your post with me if you want. And yes, be sure to check with Habitat!! Love the ReStore
I cannot believe how expensive some of the ladders are these days and your $5 version looks like a million bucks! I love all of your personal treasures too. Well done my friend!

Cindy, Having meaning all around me brings so much comfort and connection. Thanks for stopping by!!
Love this idea, Deborah! Vanessa is right about wood ladders being so expensive. You found a good one and you could never recreate all that awesome patina yourself. 🙂
Kristi, Oh, I love me some patina 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
Great staging! I also love the Tribune newpaper tube! Cute!!!
Nancy, Thanks so much!!! That’s one of my fav pieces 🙂

Bliss, right….hahahahaha
Oh my! Look at all that chippy goodness. It looks perfect in your home.
Great deal. Lucky girl.
Thanks my friend!!! xoxo
Can anyone please share with me how you prepared your ladder? I’ve got 2 old ones and want to use for blankets but I don’t want the splinters to snag my blankets. Thanks in advance for the help.
You could probably simply sand them a little to smooth them out
