Ive been seeing a lot more of these awesome antique orchard ladders being re-used and re-purposed in design. I think theres a great way to decorate your home or office with because theyre so interesting to look at. Below is a picture of antique bookcase orchard ladder I saw a couple of weeks ago at Anthropologie, I liked how they utilized the space with books and decorative pillows. This ladder is pretty large but, Ive seen smaller ones that arent as big. I found some decorative ways that people have re-used or re-purposed these orchard ladders.
