Vintage Step Ladder Bathroom Storage (and be my guest)
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).
I even picked a handful of my favorite flowers for you.
Towels are fluffed …
there’s even an extra toothbrush in case you forgot yours.
But we’ll have to keep your visit to just a few days because you know what they say about fish and house guests …
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).

Wine for you, tequila for me.
Think I’m in love with that bathroom! I share the ladder obsession too : )

Maybe we need to form a ladder support group!
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….;) )
Wow Heidi – thanks for getting up early for me! I am not an early bird – hope you got some more sleep!
I LOVE this!!! The whole bathroom is filled with charm, and the ladder is the cherry on top!

BEAUTIFUL! That floor is amazing! And, the stepladder is just perfect! Life to the full! Melissa
Love the ladder turned towel holder and that SINK ! Is it vintage or a reproduction?
Such a cozy & cute bathroom.
Thanks Judi – the sink is new – as is the tile.
Beautiful!
I love ladders! They have such fun versatility!! Love this in the bathroom.
Paint and tile, nice choices.
aww so cute!!!
Perfect perch for that small space Kelly! Love the vibe of old mixed with the new. 🙂
Love the ladder and love that mirror as well. Very welcoming!!
And to think I let my husband throw away a ladder like this. Sigh. Now I definitely need the wine. Be right over. 🙂 I love how you used yours.
This is very cute and the flowers in the ball jar are a perfect touch!
Cynthia
Great idea!
LOVE this!!!!!!!!!! Seriously! Super clever and I wish I would have thought of it. 🙂
Happy day!

Me, wine, my Ipad, and your bathroom. Sadly that sounds like a perfect evening.
Perfection, I love it. The wine too. 🙂
Love your cute little step ladder and your guest bathroom. The Christmas Tree is adorable. I just spotted an old wooden step ladder in my basement that would make a perfect Christmas Tree for my family room!
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….
Your guest bathroom is wonderful!! Anyone would be thrilled to be a guest in your home if they had luxury like that…the big fluffy towels look fabulous on the ladder.
Debbie 🙂
Looks really neat Kelly. Such an enjoyable bathroom and the unexpected charm of the rustic ladder.

LOL- Got the wine chilling. What’s the old saying? Company is a lot like fish-after three days it starts to smell…lol What a GREAT bathroom. It is just gorgeous- good job- xo Diana
Forget the ladder (not that it’s not cute), but I want your floor! That is gorgeous. Can you ship it out to me?
What a beautiful bathroom! That ladder fits in perfectly. 🙂
Oh Kelly what a cool way to use a ladder…you find the most creative ways to re-purpose items…Love the bathroom…I will call the front desk for reservations!
So totally love this!! Might have to steal this one. 😉 The new bath is absolutely darling and I adore the mirror over the sink as well. Fabulous makeover!
Heather
I love this Kelly- and what a perfect spot for it! Your bathroom looks amazing…I love that tile!
I will bring Chocolates and snacks. Keep those towels fluffed for me. I will remember my own toothbrush.
Shockingly my bathrooms are too small for a step ladder – much as I would like to have one in the bathroom.
Can you let us know what that gorgeous paint color is??
It’s Ben Moore glass slipper
From the ladder, to the light fixture, to the tiles on the floor, the details in your bathroom are amazing. Amazing and beautiful!!!
Love your little jewel of a bathroom!! Soooo pretty! But then… you had me at the hydrangea 😉
This is so pretty and I love it for storage 🙂

This is so darn cute, Kelly! I’m been in search of old wooden ladders to decorate with.
Hey love your bathroom! Is your tile floor put down in sections? I want a floor like that but aren’t sure how to get that look, thx!
Yes – they come in 12″ x 12″ sections attached to mesh Bonnie
I adore this ladder!! What a creative storage solution!
That ladder looks great in your beautiful bathroom!!
SO pretty!! My parents have an old step ladder just like this….I may have to grab it since they don’t use it anymore! 🙂
Love the ladder, and I keep clean tooth brushes in stock too! Seems every child that spends the night doesn’t have one (yuck). You know what they say…company is like fish, after 3 days you throw them out!
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.
I love your bathroom. I have the same set-up in a half bathroom. I see you have a detail decoration on the toilet, what is it? Any recommindations on other items that can be placed there?
Hi Kelly,
Would you share where you found the adorable sink? I’m remodeling my bathroom, and this would fit in perfectly!
Thanks,
Liz
