Treasures on
Display
Lana Jellison Chandler
I
treasure things from
the past, especially
if they belonged to
relatives and friends that
have been dear to me. I
found these “ladder”
shelves several years
ago at a flea market
sale and thought they
would serve as unique
decor in a kitchen or
laundry room. I now
have one in both rooms!
The ladder shelf in the laundry
room serves as a place to show
off some small Fisher Price toys,
little knickknacks, and metal
containers that were all part of my
childhood and teen years. I share
a handkerchief, from my collection
of ladies’ vintage handkerchiefs, on
the ladder shelf as well. It can also
be used for the storage of small
cleaning supplies.
I found that the ladder shelf in the
kitchen could serve several purposes,
too. I could show off my vintage iron
toothpick holders and other mementos, besides having a place for a few
canned goods, rolled kitchen towels,
and small spices and oils. It works
great to save space in a small kitchen
and makes for a fun conversation
piece to our guests! a
