25 Winter Boots to Get Excited About

Hello Vermont, I know it still feels like summer out there, but the best selection of winter boots are available now. And, if you are anything like me, you have 2 or 3 pairs of beat up frumpy, tired boots that you turn to every year when snow falls. This does not help with the winter blues. Plan ahead. Get excited about winter with fun, stylish boots like the 25 ones I found below.

Decorating with Antiques and Primitives: THE RUSTIC LADDER

Decorating with Antiques and Primitives: THE RUSTIC LADDER




A good old rustic ladder can offer many solutions to the trickiest design problems. They add height, without bulk. They can transform a blank wall into a display of your most treasured items. They can also be a household workhorse, keeping your most used items an arm's reach away.

Tips:
-Attach ribbons to frames and hang from the rungs for a gorgeous wall of photos.
-Gently remove any debris from the ladder to avoid staining linens.
-Add shelves to the rungs, to display larger items.
-Choose narrow walls or empty walls to display your ladder. Walls with other tall items will compete and make your design look cluttered.
-Search salvage yards (www.tillotsontrading.com) and flea markets (gonewengland.about.com/cs/shopping/a/aafleamarkets.htm) for ladders that show their history. Splattered paint, worn wood and good construction are what give this design piece its charm.
