Scott and Hannah turned an old ladder into a book shelf. Neat idea!

    That ladder in my basement, it’s going up on the wall. Thanks!

    They should have put the mounts facing ‘up’ behind the rungs.  Big fail on a cool idea.

    • David Pescovitz

      That’s a good idea and an easy change, I’d think.

    What is this? Pinterest?

    • David Pescovitz

      No, I don’t need to post to Pinterest because I can post to Boing Boing instead.

  • nanner

    *edit: no, i just checked and it was this cooler one – pinned 4 days ago. http://grandpins.com/home-decor/old-ladder-into-bookshelf/

      I like this one better – it doesn’t have any Dan Brown books on it.

  • sievetronix

    I am looking at this and thinking… man that needs to be secured to the wall a lot better.

    Oh, short people, you so crazy.

  • Sean McKibbon

    Is that in a corner? Because if it isn’t it sure is a nifty shelf in a corner on a flat wall optical illusion.

    I prefer these ladder shelves.  Boards are required, sure, but it holds more and the assembly is super easy- unfold ladder(s) and position boards:
