I love repurposing items, especially when I can use them for something cool. An example of this is using a Vintage Wooden Ladder as a plant holder on my front porch.
You know I love going to the Flea Market. Normally I go with an open mind to find treasures that I can make into something else. Sometimes I go with something specific in mind, like finding an old ladder to make a holder for plants.
I don't have a huge porch but still love to plant flowers and display them in different ways.
On one of my trips to the Nashville Flea Market, I found a very distressed wooden ladder. It is definitely no longer useful as a ladder. One step on a rung and it would break. But what it lacks in sturdiness, it makes up for in character.
On the same flea market trip I found several well loved galvanized buckets that were perfect for dropping a potted plant in.
The back of this bucket already had a hanger.
It's almost like it was meant to hang from the ladder.
I found some other buckets, that sadly did not already have hangers on them. So I used heavy duty zip ties to hang them from the ladder rungs.
The plants hide the zip ties.
I love the rustic charm of this ladder, plants and buckets!
It goes right along with the rest of my front porch!
