Isn't this fantastic? We have pretty awesome ways to repurpose ladders here but I think this may be my ultimate favorite. I love the use of jars for illumination, too. Beth hung hers in the patio but I think this ladder light idea can also be used to make a garden wedding look more reomantic. Design variation: use light bulbs.

A vintage ladder is sure to give any home office that rustic feel. You have to use a ladder with thin rungs, though. You don't want to ruin your magazines now, do you?

Pot Rack

Design variation: try this ladder repurposing method to come up with a ladder photo display above your headboard or right in your living room.
