Repurposing My Mom's Old Stepladder

My mom passed away last September and most of our year has been spent cleaning out our family's home and finding lots of treasures. This ladder has been in the family for well over 50 years and was standing idle in my mom's garage.
The ladder has lots of character, so I decided not to refinish it but leave it as it is, with all the old paint splatters. Memories of all the rooms my mom painted herself on that ladder. I just added some plants, including some of my mom's and placed it on my front porch. Now I have wonderful memories and a beautiful plant stand!

    it gives the porch a comfy, country feel---I like how you filled it

    It's always a great thing to repurpose things our parents have used, believe me I have a ton. They just never new if they might need it someday. At least that's what mine always used for their excuse!
