Wow! Those are neat ideas. I have been thinking lately about doing a headboard for the guest bedroom. I love that idea. The ladder idea is very cute, too.
Thanks for sharing.

That headboaard is so adorable.....

I already wrote to my daughter and gave her that suggestion for the new bed she is buying.and I told her that it is cheaper...

'cause mom can make it for her.....

I use an old/old 9 foot ladder to display quilts in my living room. I really like how ladders look with colorful quilts on them.

That first picture I had for years just waiting to have a ladder like it.....this last year my father in-law built me one. My Mickey quilt sits on it.

I like the ladder idea.

Great idea! I just posted a 'wanted' on my local freecycle for a wood ladder, back can be missing or broken. Wonder if someone will let me know they have one to give away.

what a great idea! I want a piesafe type of furniture to display my quilts - but can't afford the prices. I like your idea.

Quilts are art and beautify our homes.

i had a great ladder for quilts. dh thought it looked just like a string-bean trellis. guess where it is now. one guess.

Sandi S 05-18-2011 07:45 PM

Love the old ladder!! Will be on the lookout for one of those.

Grambi 05-18-2011 09:10 PM

I also love the look of the old ladder, but does anyone know how you could seal it and still keep the weathered, peeling-paint look? I wouldn't want to put my quilts on the ladder as is. I gues one idea would be to put some fabric or another barrier between the folded quilt and the ladder, but are there paint products that would do the trick?

butterflywing 05-18-2011 10:38 PM

i would rest the quilt on acid-free paper placed between it and the ladder. there are fixatives available, but i don't know what the long-term effects on the quilt would be. i don't think you want to varnish the ladder or even wax it.
