MATERIALS wood ladder 25.75"-x-13" wood plank 28"-x-14.5" wood plank 34.75"-x-16" wood plank 41.5"-x-18" wood plank 48"-x-20" wood plank drop cloth chalk paint + paint roller sandpaper cloth drill wood screws level two-hole pipe straps clear sealing wax STEPS 1. Prep the wood planks. Lay out a drop cloth to create a workstation for the project. Cut wood pieces to the desired length and lay out accordingly. The measurements listed above work for a standard-sized ladder, but if your ladder is a different size, you may need to take your own measurements before purchasing the wood. Paint the wood in your favorite shade of chalk paint, and let dry. 2. While the wood planks are drying, prep the ladder. Sand down any rough patches, removing any unwanted paint spots as well. Wipe away dirt and dust after sanding. Paint the ladder, and let it dry completely. 3. Attach the shelves. Beginning at the top of the ladder, place the smallest wood plank across the step and ladder platform. Attach with wood screws on both ends ensuring that the piece is secure. Place the remaining shelves onto the ladder accordingly, attaching them with wood screws where there is a step and two-holed pipe straps wherever there is a ladder rung. Use a level to ensure that the shelves are even and flat. 4. Once all the shelves are attached, seal the entire shelving unit using clear sealing wax and a cloth. Once the shelf is complete, style with books, plants, knick-knacks or all of the above. The possibilities are endless with a shelving unit this versatile.
