On a quest to get organized this year…

since I never toss anything and still have everything I’ve ever owned…

I made a scarf ladder.

Plus I used up crooked wood that…I couldn’t toss!

I made a spindle ladder a few weeks ago with the purpose of holding scarves.

But it turned out toooo cute!  Even if I say so myself. 🙂

Click here to see the spindle ladder.  It’s still leaning in the kitchen.  It’s going to be fun to decorate for seasons and holidays.

So, I needed a not so cute ladder!

I started off pulling out of the little workshop a couple of 1 by 2 by 8 feet long crooked wood.  Plus round spindles from old chairs and a piece of leftover dowel.  The 1 by 2 were left 8 feet long!  Yep, the ladder is 8 feet tall.  We have high ceilings in our closet.

I checked…after making the ladder…whew!

I made this ladder the same as that cute spindle ladder except I used screws instead of nails in this one.

Because as the drill is screwing into the round spindles and dowels…they spin too! :/

As you can see, I’m a scarf gal.  Some of them I’ve had since the late 70’s!  The best thing about scarves…

they fit no matter your weight gain or loss.  🙂

I really don’t toss things!!!!

What items do you have trouble tossing??

  1. omg this is way cute my daughter has way too many scarves this would be perfect, i an getting a pile of wood slowly but surly when spring comes i will be in the carport working away finally xx

    1. Stacey, thank you! I was surprised that I could arrange them and still see at least a part of each one. I folded them long and skinny, then folded them over the round spindles. Many I’d forgot I had. They’d been stuffed in a dresser drawer for years. Notice I didn’t iron them for their photo op!! Jeanette

  2. Haha- laughing at the fact the first one was too cute to keep in the closet (it is!!)! I have scarves that were my grandmothers! My mother and I travel together and it has become a joke that we buy scarves everywhere we go! I am also a wood scrap hoarder- have to hide them from hubby so he doesn’t put them on the burn pile!

    1. Laura, I love vintage scarves! What a great idea for souvenirs! A few were bought when traveling and I’m always taken back to vacation then I wear them. I’m sure once your hubby sees the incredible DIY projects you make from the scrap wood he’ll stop burning them!!! 😀 Jeanette
