Ladder question

by Bryan D
I have this left over from another project and I am not sure what to build or make with the last three feet of the ladder. Any ideas?

    Since there is no picture, can't really comment. My first thought was to attach it to an inside or outside wall and place cute pots on it for herbs for your kitchen. Sorry, that's all I can come up without a picture. Good luck

    My thought was kind of along the lines of what KathyBH is suggesting, but suspend it from the kitchen ceiling with nice chains to hang pots & pans from. If I ever find a short ladder, that's what I'm going to do.

    Suspend it over a deck area and put fairy lights through it. Nice for an entertaining area. Or you could hang mason jars with tea lights in them from it over the deck.

    @Bryan D there are a few posts on here about using ladders. In a laundry room they can be suspended from the ceiling or attached to a wall and used for hanging laundry to dry. In another room they could be used on a wall to display some accent pieces - may have to add a piece of small moulding to the front of the step to prevent slipping. Do update us with pics when you finish your project. Thanks for posting.

    I repainted mine with our local high schools colors and donated it to my sorority for their chair affair

    Mount along a wall, (horizontally--like it's lying down on the floor only about 3' up). Stand rakes, shovels, moulding or 2 X 4's and other long pieces of wood in the spaces.

    Got cats? Wood ladders make excellent 'gym equipment' for them!

    By the looks of the picture it has only three steps but, you still could use it mounted on the wall and put cup holders to the side facing the floor and hang coats from it in your utility room.

    Thurn it horizontally and hang on wall (painted / decorated as you like. Then either suspend picture frames I sid inch area or hang then on the wall inside each.
