As I’m finishing up the last pieces of my living room makeover, there are SO many things that I cannot wait to show you. I want to keep a few surprises up my sleeve for the full reveal, but I thought today I’d share one of my favorite new elements to the room: a DIY Blanket Ladder!

Does this ladder look familiar to you? (Brownie points to anyone who recognized it!) If you’ve been following LGW for awhile, you probably saw when this ladder made its first appearance on the blog holding towels next to a little wash sink by my pantry. It stayed there for quite awhile until I moved it out to my patio to help decorate for the holidays. It was perfect for hanging a wreath on!

But when I began decorating my living room, I felt the urge to move the ladder again… this time re-purposed as a blanket ladder!

It adds great height to the room and holds 3-4 blankets perfectly without taking up a ton of space. Don’t you just love fun space-saving solutions like this?

I finished my mine with a dark walnut stain and sanded the edges down for a gorgeous, rustic look.

Can I have a little brag moment? Aww… thanks guys! This plant was given to me by my mother-in-law on the day my youngest son was born. Somehow… and I’m not sure how… I’ve managed to keep it alive for almost 5 years. That is a pretty enormous accomplishment for this black-thumbed girl!

    Ok you have my attention! Looking forward to the final reveal! And I love the ladder repurposed for holding blankets! I so need to make one to use in this way…I’ve been trying to figure out what to do with the blankets I keep in the living room now that it’s warm…

      That’s the same problem I have, Cecilia! My family loves cuddling up on the couch for movie nights during the winter, but I just don’t have a good place to store them all in the warmer months. This blanket ladder has been a huge help! I think you’ll really like having one too. 🙂 See you for the final reveal!

    These blankets look so nice and comfy .. where are they from?

      Hey Juli! The cream knit blanket came from Target, but the rest were gifts, so I’m not sure. Target, Ikea and TJ Maxx are usually my go-to places for blanket shopping!

    Love the ladder. Did you put something rubbery on bottom of feet to add a little stability!

    • Liz Fourez says: October 7, 2015 at 12:19 pm

      I didn’t. As long as it’s leaning against a wall, it’s pretty steady!

Did you know that I started blogging almost 9 year Did you know that I started blogging almost 9 years ago? It’s crazy to think I started building this little brand of mine almost a decade ago, but in 2017 I began wanting to share more than just online inspiration and reach people in a more personal way. 

That summer I opened a small retail shop in my favorite antique store in my home state of Indiana and filled it with items that I love and decorate my own home with.  Opening this little shop has been a natural extension of what I create on my blog and in my home and allows people to find my favorite things and decorating ideas all in one place.

My hope is that one day I can offer online shopping & ship items to your door all over the country, but for now if you are ever in the Midwest, I would love for you to come visit this beautiful historic building and browse the many items I handpicked for your home.

We are open Monday-Saturday 10-5 pm & Sunday 12-5 pm inside @originaltreasuremart at 1201 E. Vaile Avenue in Kokomo, IN. You can call (765) 459-3148 for more information. 

I’d love to hear from you... have you visited @lovegrowswildmarket before, and what was your favorite purchase? Thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting small businesses like mine. 🤍
We made it to Friday, friend 🙌🏻 I’m curio We made it to Friday, friend 🙌🏻

I’m curious... what’s your big cleaning/catch up day around the house? The day when you typically catch up on dishes and all those piles of laundry, grocery shop, etc? I like to get up on Saturday mornings and get it done so I can enjoy a clean house for the rest of the weekend because honestly... I literally CANNOT relax when the house is a mess. I physically can’t do it. What’s your cleaning day of the week and why? 🧼🧹

Who wants to go shopping with me?! Well, virtuall Who wants to go shopping with me?!

Well, virtually... but I promise it will still be fun! I took a trip to a store I've never been to before and found some of the prettiest decor for such a good deal at @tuesdaymorning. #ad After all the snow we've had the last few weeks, getting out of the house and putting real clothes on for a solo shopping trip felt like such a treat!

A few of my favorite finds were: an extra-long lumbar pillow for my sofa, beautiful black textured bowls that I can't decide if I want to actually use in my kitchen or decorate with, a bouquet of dried greenery, and a new dog bed for Remington. I will be sharing how I styled these items on the blog next week, so stay tuned!

Swipe to see video of my shopping trip and all that you can find at a Tuesday Morning near you! Do you have a store close to you? Have you been before? Let me know in the comments!

Yesterday I had a design meeting with one of my to Yesterday I had a design meeting with one of my toughest clients yet... my teenage son. 😂 Actually, he is probably the easiest person to please, and his requests for the upcoming bedroom makeover we are planning were pretty simple:

• blackout curtains so he can sleep in on weekends
• a new darker paint color
• somewhere to charge all his devices

I think I can handle that! This room is quite a challenge with the small size & layout, but I think we’ve come up with a game plan to make it more functional and much more “him”. 

Once I catch up on all my current projects and design work, I’m excited to dive into making this space perfect for him! P.S. where did my little boy go that wanted Thomas the Train as the theme in his bedroom? 🥺
