Take one broken ladder, clean it up a little, remove the cracked back legs and top, and what do you have? A plant stand! We screwed the piece of ladder into the house and deck to stabilize it. Then, we assembled some old metal containers (among them, two vintage colanders and a busted bucket) and screwed them onto the rungs. Give it a little time and sunshine and I think we'll really enjoy this touch of "flower power" beside the herb container garden—currently under re-construction. Click the pix below for more info. |
We love to use reclaimed materials; you'll find more of our "trash to treasure" projects here.
