I actually started to make 3 vintage signs,
but the direction I was going didn't seem
to be junky enough. I will finish them
one day soon and post the results.
Now to the task at hand ...
First I searched thru the
*JUNKER's blog* for inspiration.
Voila, there was her ladder shelving.
I can work with that!
Out to the shop I went to get the
old ladder daddy gave me.
Then to every nook and cranny
in the house to find junk.
Great Grandpa's WWI canvas army bag
was perfect to hold all those cooking utensils.
Old brass coat hooks from
the bottom of the junk drawer
make the coffee mugs easily accessible.
Hardwood flooring transition sitting in the
hall made the wineglass hangers. I've
wanted to do that project since I first saw it.
It worked perfectly.
*S* hooks left over from a retail job last year
hook on to a metal support rod of the ladder to
hang these little lanterns.
hang these little lanterns.
An old cigar box, a vintage cigarette tin,
and a rusty metal planter box all help
display the cutlery.
My favorite is my antique Salter scale, which
is always on display somewhere in the house.
I couldn't resist this touch!

LOVE the scale! I have a ladder outside in my garden covered in mud and snow almost identical to that. I wanted so badly to bring it in for my Funky Junk photo shoot. Nice work!
ReplyDeleteI love it. This would look absolutely perfect in a general store or a rustic restaurant or soup shop! Very nicely done.. Once I can actually get to my back yard shed I'm going to dig out some of the things I have in there and take some hints from you! :)
ReplyDeleteFantastic job... I especially like that you used sentimental items to create such an interesting shelf... love that everything has a story behind it...and now you have created a few more chapters to their journey.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Deb
Wow you did great! Love the glass holders at the top and the scale is perfect.
ReplyDeleteI love this! I have been on a search for a simmilar ladder since I first saw it on Donna's blog. I love what you did with it. I NEED wine glass storage and would love a tutorial on how you made it happen.
ReplyDeletePlease stop by my blog I am having a big giveaway.

What lovely junk!! :) Love it!!
ReplyDeleteHOw did you attach the ladder to the wall? I want to do this too but was trying to figure out how to best attach it to the wall so it doesn't slide down the wall and break everything.
