Vintage Step Ladder Bathroom Storage (and be my guest)

August 21, 2013  Decorating | Uncategorized

 

Bathroom Storage Ideas - love this old ladder towel holder!  kellyelko.com

Come on over and stay awhile.

This guest bathroom on the third floor is all yours – complete with unique bathroom storage ideas like this old wooden stepladder to hold your towel.

(you no I’ve got a thing for old ladders – my ladder Christmas tree and stepladder birdbath).

Cute towel storage in this fabulous bathroom!  kellyelko.com

I even picked a handful of my favorite flowers for you.

Love this vintage bathroom - and the old ladder storage!  kellyelko.com

Towels are fluffed …

there’s even an extra toothbrush in case you forgot yours.

Stepladder bathroom storage - the bathroom is gorgeous!  kellyelko.com

But we’ll have to keep your visit to just a few days because you know what they say about fish and house guests …

Vintage bathroom - love the floor and color (and that cute ladder)!  kellyelko.com

Just kidding – you can stay as long as you want (well, ok, let’s just keep it at three days to play it safe – oh, and bring wine).

    Oh!!! I love step ladders! And I had missed the bird bath and Christmas tree ones, so this was a triple bonus! Step ladders, benches and stools. Cozy little nooks that say, “I’m old and unique. Sit by me for a while.” Very sweet vignettes, Kelly! I woke up early to see if you had anything cute posted. You did, so now I’m going back to bed! (Only 4 more days until teacher workshop begins, so I’m taking advantage of blog-peeking, a bite of cereal and back to bed! It’s 6:24 in Minnesota, so it’s not SOO decadent….;) )

    Oh so cute Kelly! Wine glasses are chilling…lol! My husband uses an old step ladder as a nightstand. Perfect for a reading lamp, his glasses and books! He’s used it for years! When I first met him and he showed me that. Honestly? I thought he just didn’t have any furniture. But like he told me…you always need a ladder. And you always know where this one is! Pretty funny huh? I always knew he was way too cool….

    My little step ladder is still outside for the bird bath. The birds have been especially busy getting clean right now. I can see if from my office window which makes for a great view, but when winter arrives and it is ready to snow I will drag it inside and use it to hold the towels in our upstairs bath, right now I have a painted magazine rack, but I like switching things around. Love the hydrangeas in the jar. Very inviting.
