OMG Another Ladder

If you are in the business of "treasure hunting" you have probably found that you sometimes have a run on finding similar things. Lately, for me, it's been ladders. First, I bought a 6' ladder and got rid of it asap because it was too big and heavy. Next, I found a cute little 4' ladder. It's all painted up and pretty. And recently, I found this cute little ladder that only stands about 21" tall. It is adorable (after a little tlc).

This is what it looks like after I painted it. This was such an easy project. All I had to do was paint it, then distress it. I used Heirloom white, latex satin paint.

This is what it looked like when I bought it.

It's very well built. See?

The man I bought it from charged me $1.00 for it. As I carried it to my car I think he was laughing at me.

The shutter on the left is one of my painted projects. So is the "chic" sign. I made the sign out of our old porch flooring.

I have it sitting on the dresser I bought a couple of weeks ago. To see what the dresser looked like when I bought it check out  My Morning Haul

The little dresser has good bones but boy, did it need a lot of work! The first thing I did was add casters.

The paint job on the exterior was o.k. but I felt the sides of the drawers needed cleaned up. Plus, every one of the big drawers needed major repair. Mr. Shabby worked many hours fixing them for me.

After the drawers were repaired, I worked one whole day cleaning, sanding, and painting them. Then I wiped the inside of the drawers with orange bees wax. Now they look clean and smell clean.

I didn't paint the exterior , I just distressed it a little more.

This is my sweet little 4' ladder, all painted up and pretty.   Linking to:
