DIY Blanket Ladder: From Pallet Wood
Happy Labor Day! It has been a great week off…except my two kiddies have taken turns getting sick this week. As all us parents know our kids get sick when we least need or want them too…and taking turns always happens so usually an entire week is devoted to germs, medicine, and very little sleep. Fortunately, my big guy is on antibiotics right now and should be all better for his first day of Kindergarten on Thursday. An exciting week ahead starting with tomorrow, my little Gemma is starting her first day of daycare and I am starting by first day at my new job! Hurray for change!…and Hurray for having the week off prior to prepare for all this change!
Well since we have been some busy parents this week and dropping money on all kinds of school supplies, some stay-cation outings, doctor visits, and of course new school and job clothes…our projects have been limited. We were able to accomplish organizing our pantry which has been on the to do list about a year now. This may be a possible post in the future…if I can get a good picture of it, it is a small closet that barely gets any light except for the one my hubby is trying to install himself (cross your fingers…not going so well)
One project I for sure got to this week…is my DIY Blanket Ladder made from a Pallet. I have been keeping my eyes out for a blanket ladder that was affordable and the right size for sometime now, but could not seem to get my hands on one. Of course the light bulb went off in my head, when the pallet from the sofa I purchased for the church, was sitting in my garage awaiting its DIY destiny. Pallet wood is the perfect wood to use for a rustic DIY. This one was the right size and was easy to dis-assemble.

Your ladder looks great, you did such an amazing job with it. I want one now lol. Love your blog, lots of wonderful projects. Thanks so much for stopping by.
PS, hope the kids are feeling better now.
Thanks Karen! Love it…it takes up the perfect amount of empty space. So so easy to make. And yes the kids are much better!
Aww poor babies. I hope everyone has a quick and easy recovery. I’ve been wanting to make a ladder for our master bathroom to hold towels. Awesome idea using a pallet! Did I miss a post where you moved the TV from over top of the mantel? I love this space!!!
Thanks Lauren…the kids are much better now! The pallet was so easy to use and free so you cant get better than that…I hope you decide to make one, you’ll love staring at it haha! This is my living rooms and we have a TV in both rooms…so the TV is still over the mantel : (
This is such an awesome project. Thanx so much for sharing it over at THT!
