Sat Nite Special 119 - ladders!

Pin It




Welcome to Saturday Nite Special #119, the multi themed link party! 

* Home Decor
 * Crafts, / Sewing / Recipes
* Theme of the week

Every Fri 7pm  to Sunday 11 pm Pacific.


Truncated post: click to read more below


This month we're going to revisit some great themes we've run before, so you'll notice there are already linkups in the themed area. Please feel free to add your NEW links to continue the collection!

I love ladders for their straight lines, rustic nature and adaptability. I just think they look cool!


And I love how productive they can also be. The ladder in the main bathroom really has those extra towels accessible.


I've been working on the bedroom and this little corner became the perfect dressing area, thanks to the help of my white painter's ladder.


Magazines are within pretty handy reach when stacked on this ladder. You may recognize it. It was the same one....


that I used with my Christmas tree. :)


And then you've seen the one I used as framework to create my blogging desk.

Yup, I'm officially ladder crazy! 

Love ladders as much as I do?
Let's see your own ladder creations in this weekend's 3rd themed linkup! 

Upcoming themes for Feb in this order:

revisiting: old windows
antique tools

 
~ SNS blah blah linkup rules ~

 1. DIY home projects only pretty please. Items for sale must be in tutorial form on your blog.

2. Please link back to the party (text or button) within your post. See BUTTONS under main blog header.

3. Only projects new to SNS please. The themed linkup is an exception.

4. By linking up here, you're cool with me featuring you on the blog,  Pinterest, or FJI Facebook with no additional permission required.

Join us on Facebook this weekend for party highlights!

    Donna I love all your ladders. I wish I had taken a picture of the cute step stool ladder that I painted robin egg blue. I have it as part of my display in my booth. Great display piece.

    Thanks for the fun party!

    Wow! The ladder idea is going to bring my bathroom to new heights! Thank you for so many wonderful ideas. It helps tremendously! If I can't find one at a donation center. What stores do you reccommend? I love the one in the grey bathroom featured at the top.

    Good Morning! I linked up two projects today:
    A yummy Bread Pudding with Butterscotch Sauce Recipe and
    Free Bachelor Bingo-which make watching the Bachelor on Monday nights a bit more fun.
    Have a great week!

    lush ladders!

    think this is the first time I have joined your fun linky party - have shared my recipe for a lovely, gently spiced plum cobbler. Thanks for hosting. Bx

    The ladder in the bathroom as a towel rack is super. I love that space. The colors, the other rustic wooden elements and of course, my favorite number "4"!

    Donna I love using the ladders for other things. I have one that was my dad's that I grew up with. It has paint of every color all over it.
    I would love to use it inside if I had room.

    LOVE the Christmas tree ladder! How do you get these ladders propped (sp?) up? I see the bathroom one has feet, but a lot of them don't. I have little ones and I'm always afraid they are going to knock one over if I did use it in my home.

    We have a huge vintage ladder in our barn- easily 20 feet long. I have a wonderful spot for it on a wall, but it's SO heavy. Would it be sacrilege to cut it??

    SO exited about this party -- I got a ladder this summer and have had so much fun 'dressing' it for the different holidays -- can't wait to see what others do with their ladders!

    First off, Thank you for hosting such a fun party! Secondly, I mistakenly added my ladder link to your decor group #256 before I realized you had a whole section designated for ladders...sorry. So I did add it also to the correct category, please feel free to delete the incorrectly placed link. Little Bit from DecorateWithaLittleBit.com

    You are just incredible. You are true and pure inspiration. I just received a medium sized ladder from my father in law and I noticed it doesn't have the reems (sp??) But I think I can do something creative with it with your inspirations.Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your sharing your ideas with us........

    Very nice idea to arrange different type of ladders in suitable manner. I also like straight line design ladder with black and white ladder. I just bought ladder last week but can't decide whwre to keep it. Confused whether keep in garage or in a store room?
