Ladder, Side Table, Planter…Well that’s a mouthful! Three in one repurposed ladder!
How to make a
Ladder Side Table Planter
I’ve been on a mission to repurpose furniture from my stash. I only have three of these short ladders, only three 😉 I don’t remember what I was thinking when I bought them. Please tell me that I’m not alone, do you buy things on impulse?
I came up with a multi-use idea for it. Patio side table, with built in planters. I’m working to create an outdoor oasis on our patio. I give myself bonus points for using things that I already have.
I had a few things to paint so I grabbed my HomeRight Finish Max and my outdoor chalk paint. I actually set my timer to see how long it took to paint this…from start to finish 3 minutes.
Really!
While the paint was drying, I grabbed a couple metal containers that I found at HomeGoods.
The only thing I did to them was add drainage holes and pre-drill so I could attached them to the ladder.
I added soil and planted a few of my favorite plants in the pots.
I love the lime green color of the creeping jenny. I think they call them golden, but I call them chartreuse.
Do you see those aqua candle holders and that table, I used my Finish Max Pro to paint them! You can see all the details here: Aqua Goodwill Makeover.
The thing I like most about using the paint sprayer is that I can use any color paint that I have on hand.

Great idea! Love the ladder as a planter!
Miving into a new to us house in a couple weeks. This sprayer would come in super handy!!!
The first thing I would paint is a set of wicker patio furniture that my grandmother gave me. I would love to update them from boring white to a bright tropical color.
I have some 80’s-fabulous bleached oak bookcases I would love to update.
The first thing I would paint is some outdoor chairs for my porch. Love how easy to use this product appears to be!

Debbie, I have been on the hunt for a small ladder to sit on the porch of my potting shed. I have several things in the shed that need a fresh coat of paint and the HomeRight Sprayer would make it SOOOOO much easier!!!!

I have some fence lattice that really needs painting. This would be a great help!
What a beautiful outdoor setting! I would love to use this paint sprayer to paint some chairs for the front porch.
Love this idea! It turned out so nice. Have a great week 🙂
I have an old USN 2- drawer card catalog that needs to be painted a nice jazzy color.
This little ladder is adorable! We have a new house with a front patio area that I need to give some attention to. This would add some charm and character! I am building some furniture for our patio out of pallets, and could use this to speed up painting it. Visiting you from the Inspiration Monday link-up.
I really need to finish painting my front fence. I am not sure if this unit could handle the task but it beats using a roller.
I would paint an old bookshelf I have for our little one’s books! I do love this ladder idea…beautiful! ♥
I would repaint my daughters dresser first and then her old antique headboard I bought at a yard sale. Thank you for the chance!

Such a a great idea! First I would paint an antique ladder I have and then I have a bureau just begging for a facelift! Thanks so much for this opportunity!!
First thing I’d paint is this tv cabinet I bought for my bedroom. I want it TARDIS blue and then I’m going to hand paint the details onto so it looks just like 10s. Yep, I’m a Whovian lol
Actually, I plan to start looking immediately for a short ladder to paint! This is so cute!
Thanks Jill, good luck finding your ladder!

Love your ideas! I would paint my antique bench from Europe…and then go on to paint so many other things 😉
Yes, you can paint so many things!!
I have a small step ladder found in my grandfather’s shed that I have used as a side table for years. It could use a new paint job. Your planter ladder is great.
Thanks Gina, best of luck to you!!
