A Vintage Ladder

I hope you are having a wonderful week 🙂
Remember I told you I would share photos of my vintage spring green ladder?
Well, I’d like to introduce, “Miss Green” :
She is a bit shaky. Not as strong as she once was.
She looks quite gorgeous holding bouquets of fresh flowers
and French vintage linens.
I must say, her long legs are still her prettiest feature.
One of her best colors is lavender.
Adorning French clay pots makes her feel important.
Oh, she does look good in pink.
And don’t forget, burlap would be one of her favorite accessories.
She keeps her slim figure with daily exercise,
Her paint has chipped over the years, but she has aged very well.
She is not a show off, however, quite modest.
I am happy to have “Miss Green” as a permanent guest in our home.
She does not require much attention.
We are now BFFs 🙂
I am sharing her with these parties:
Vintage Inspiration Friday with Debra
French Inspiration with Jill
Show and Tell Friday with Cindy
and
Saturday Nite Special with Donna
Thanks so much for hosting, ladies!
Blessings

I have recently developed an affinity for vintage ladders, probably since I found my grandmother's in my storage. Such history behind them…you can just imagine what projects they were a part of. i love how you have displayed yours, it looks beautiful!
What a wonderful furnaccessory (just made that word up… furniture/accessory) and its very cool that it was that perfect color!
What a cute post!
I love Miss Green and you did an awesome job with the photo shoot! Love the clay pots and the flower baskets hanging…blogging is so bad for me…I so want a vintage ladder now! 🙂

Her age is her beauty…oh she wears it well!!! 🙂

I LOVE wooden ladders. . . and the color of yours is so perfect.
Dear Miss Green – It looks like you are enjoying your retirement adorned with so many beautiful items. They really set off your color! You are very lucky to reside in such a beautiful retirement home. I think you will be very happy there! : }
I love Miss Green. She has a way of really showing off her stuff!
Love the burlap addition to. Very pretty.

She would be my BFF too!
I Love Miss Green. I have a Mr. Green ~ it was my dad's and I wouldn't trade it for the world. I have painted more rooms with that ladder and I must say it's part of my family 😉
What a gorgeous color she is! I wish she was my BFF, too! 🙂

And very sexy! She can come and live in my kitchen any time!
She is soooo beautiful!! Love this colour green!

She does have the perfect color and that lavender just sets it off so beautifully! I have been looking for the perfect ladder/shelving for my booth. Have seen lots of great ladders but none with perfect coloring. Happy Voila day and a beautiful weekend. xo Lynn @thevintagenest
She is certainly a beauty and such a handy gal to have around ;O)

Your new BFF, Miss Green, is just beautiful. Did you know that she sent me a little message and said she wanted to take a trip to visit Tennessee? I told her that I just couldn't do that to her because she looked so beautiful there in Louisiana. I think it must be that the same person who built her must have built my pretty green carpenter's box and they are wanting to be back together again…just sayin…
HA HA…You have made your ladder just beautiful with all of the pretties you adorned her with.
Miss Green is a cutie pie, Becky! She's the perfect patina green and looks fabulous with the linens and flowers on her. 🙂 Sweet, Beck!
xoxo laurie
She'd be my BFF, too! She's very pretty. Her accessories are just right, too. 🙂
So cute and fun!
I absolutely love that color! It's so soothing and refreshing. Wow so beautiful. I would be delighted if you would link this to my VIP party this weekend =) http://designergarden.blogspot.com/2011/04/vip-party-10.html
She is pure perfection! I think you fits into your house like a glove! I'm having a fabulous Shabby Apple giveaway, so stop by if you have a moment!
I think Miss Green is the perfect addition to your home Becky! I love her look, especially with all of the pretty adornments 🙂

Hello, just found your blog this morning and like everything I see. A ladder is on my list of things to purchase when I find just the right one. I love how you have used yours. I am your newest follower.
Linda
oooh.. your blog is super gorgeous!! totally loved it.. I love your ladder as well.. I've been on the look out for one.. forever!! Hoping you'll pop over to Colours Dekor.. 🙂
I bought an old wood ladder at a Garage sale a few years ago for $1.00 and my husband laughed and then he decided that it was good enough to use…maybe one of these days I will swipe it back and paint it green.
Love your ladder 🙂
I love ladders in decor! Yours is very cool…thanks for sharing.
She is lovely! I have wanted a friend like her for such a long time.♥
Hi just love "Miss Green"…she's a perfect color. I have a small ladder in chippy gold paint that I love…but "Miss Gold" is not as cute as "Miss Green"!

As I was thinking to myself about my love of spanish moss and burlap, I remembered that a friend reccommended your blog to me. OH MY GOODNESS, I am so glad that she did! You have yet another follower. I can't wait to dig through all of your posts for gobs of inspiration!
Oh, and I love the song. It always reminds me of Sleepless in Seattle. 🙂

Beautiful colour for sure! I linked this to my ladders post too, for inspiration!
