Spotted: DIY Ladder Bookshelf

Got an old ladder hanging out in your basement? Have just a few too many books but not interested in buying shelves from IKEA? Well if you're like me and love to read but live in a city where space is limited, then this cheap and quick storage solution might be just right for you. Also, using reclaimed materials isn't just good for your wallet, it's good for the planet.
