Step ladder goes into retirement!

I acquired this sturdy beast from freecycle and it looked like it had lived a hard, laborious life. 

 

 

So, I took it home, gave it a good lick of pale lilac and grey paint.

 

 

 After a few days I realised that really, to be a feature piece in my garden, it needed to be a bit bolder and brighter to make it stand out, especially as the nights draw in. The garden needs as much help as it can get, colour-wise! So I repainted it a beautiful forget-me-not blue from the Culprinol Garden Shades range. I got the paint for a stitch of a price, £1 for a small pot from my local bootfair.

 

 

I have added a few colourful pots around the base of the ladder and have found that the steps are an ideal home for my little bee house (50p from the same bootfair) and for my potted basil which I grew this Summer.

 

 



 

Happy retirement little stepladder!
