A little paint on an old step ladder makes for a nice display stand. I love all of its character and may give it more distressing!? I wasn't going for perfect, this old ladder had some rough spots but they just add to it's rustic charm. Hubby offered to give it a good sanding for me. I told him I liked the look and would prefer not to change the character of it!
I have so many ideas for this sweet little ladder! This was just the first simple and quick decor idea! I wanted to share and offer a bit of inspiration before all the pumpkins and Fall decor are put away over here soon.
I used two different colors of chalky finish paint by Americana Decor - Everlasting[white], and Timeless[beige/tan]. I gave it a layer of white and then a light wash with the tan color. {We've had this ladder around for many years and home painting projects!}
This once ugly duckling is now a swan! As you can see by the 'after' image above and the 'before' image below!
I do think that my husband is thinking if he sits still long enough, I'll paint him too! Ha!
I'm enjoying a few more days of pumpkins and Fall decor. I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving and enjoying some family time together!
I do love the magic of paint!...
