Oh, that ladder. Now I have ladder envy. How wonderful that it was given to you! And what a great place to dry flowers! 🙂

What an awesome find! I love old ladders! I have 3, one that is extra tall. A couple of them I'm using in my antique booths and the third is at home while I wait for inspiration to hit as to what I might do with it for my home. I love your orchard ladder. I would love to find one of those some day, which would have been more likely when I lived in the Bitter Root Valley in Montana, but now I'm back in the south with not as many apple orchards around. My dad found a beautiful old fire engine ladder and found a way to use it, outside, of course. How nice of those folks to give it to you and it is simply lovely on your wall with the dried flowers dangling from it!! Your blog is one of my favs!!!

OH now THAT is a great ladder! Isn't it grand that the owners didn't 'get' it and YOU did!?

What a striking piece for your room–a statement piece for sure with it's size and scale. They used to use really tall ladders like that before mini-dwarf varieties of apple trees became more widely available. I learned to graft fruit trees, and created an espaliered Belgian fence out of mini-dwarf apple and pear trees–it only got to 6 feet tall, so no ladders needed for picking!

Wow! That is a beauty. I can see why you fell in love with it. It looks amazing in your home. Like it was meant to be. We sell A LOT of old ladders in our shop. So your not the only crazy lady out there that appreciates a beautiful piece of art! There is a little shed on the way to my moms which I see every week. Every week I just admire its worn, broken down perfect self. I love it so much, I think I may stop and take pics of it in each season. I can't take the shed, but I could at least have a series of photos of the lovely little thing to admire for ever! You always inspire us, thank you for that!!

It's so pretty with your dried roses, against that wonderful beadboard! Our neighbor put a great, crusty old ladder in his big trash last month, and I hesitated – for just a moment, and then it was gone 🙁 I'm glad someone got their ladder!
