Save storage space with the telescoping ladder
As I lugged my ladder out of my basement the other day, I thought to myself, “There has to be a better way to store a ladder.” And, it turns out, there is. My research led me to discover the telescoping ladder that is billed as the “World’s Handiest Ladder.” The ladder collapses down to 30 inches for storage, but telescopes into a 12-1/2 foot ladder at full length for use.
If you’re in the market for a ladder, you might want to consider this easy-to-store version. It’s simple to transport and has an incredibly small footprint. Try fitting a regular ladder into the trunk of your car!

One of my passions in life is good design, which means that my Google Reader is filled with interior design blog feeds. Recently, NotCot has shared a couple uncluttered designs on its pages that I wanted to pass along to you.
First up, I saw on NotCot a set of three candles that caught my attention. The candles, which are pictured at right, are candle and candle holder in one solid piece of wax.

Another piece that struck my fancy on NotCot was the Folding Chair Ladder. Described as “an incredibly clever little side chair that turns into a step ladder,” it would be perfect for a small space:
