She spends her free time creating memories with her husband and 5 kids, traveling as far as she can afford, and partaking of books in any form available.
All of the porch ladders ideas are truly fabulous. I tried to see which I love the most. Guess what? I could not do it, because each was Unique and gorgeous in there on way. Thus, making it impossible for me to select. I give each one a 5⭐️. I will have to make a decision I know, because I will be making one of these bad boys this summer. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for your kind comments! We would love to see pictures of what you make later this summer!
These are all such great ideas and so creative. I’ll be shopping for a ladder this week!
