DIY Vintage Porch Ladder

 As I drive around different neighborhoods I love to see how people decorate their porches.  I have seen so many cute decorative ladders with the different decorations for each season. I thought it would be neat to have one of my own.  The only thing is...I didn't want one like everyone else had.  I saw a post on pinterest of the cutest decorated porch for Halloween and did my own spin off of it.  Here is the link to the one that first gave me the idea: https://www.pinterest.com/source/ourvintagehomelove.blogspot.com/
I love this porch! I looked everywhere for an old vintage ladder and had no luck.  Luckily I have a very handy husband and so we made our own.  We went to Lowes and bought some birch wood that we liked. I think it came to about $16.00.  For the medal bracket looking things we just cut them from an old V8 juice can and nailed them on.  Here are some different pictures for the last few holidays.  I just went to Walmart and bought the wood letters and ribbon I wanted and spent a $1 on some craft paint.  To attach the ribbon I used Velcro that I found in the sewing department to make it easy to take them on and off the rails. 
I love how versatile this ladder is! I am excited that I can use it all year round!

 For the Boo sign I just cut pieces of cardboard into squares and covered it with burlap.

I used a stencil I found at Walmart in the craft area for the letters. 

To apply the black paint I used a sponge paint brush.
