I have looked high and low for a ladder like this one! Putnam Ladders is wonderful, but they don't have this ladder. Any more information on where to get one just like this? Thank you so much. »
Mary Elizabeth Might work well if you're in a hurry, but the hunt is part of the fun! And while you're looking for that one item - a library ladder or other unique piece - you will find other great things! We have found a pair of antique french doors - only 20" wide each - but 90" high! We have the perfect spot for them! And too many more items to mention in one post!
Anne DeCocco This has to be a built-in. See how the wall bumps out around the sides? Well done design! But if you go to an unfinished furniture store or a bookcase store (we have on in our area, not sure in everyone does), you can customize some bookshelves so they look very built-in. The sliding library ladder is a nice touch.
Sheila Schmitz Great idea for using more of your vertical storage space. You can find many varieties on a search for "library ladders." Here's one good source: http://www.putnamrollingladder.com/
And here's a bookcase that includes a ladder already built in!
Library. Turn your living room into a library full of all the books and precious mementos; This one is a bright and airy retreat all in white and cream; feels like it has been around forever.

5. Built-in bookshelves were another favorite design element among Houzz readers in 2011. We love how this bookshelf gets a gallery look from the painted wall behind it. And, of course, that rolling library ladder is fantastic.
On a wall of bookcases, there's nothing better than a great ladder. Not only is it practical, helping you reach those higher shelves, but especially against a light, bright set of shelves, the ladder instantly becomes the focal point of the room.
Remove Everything and Start OverProject time: 1 to 2 daysTry painting the back wall the same color as the surrounding walls. The unifying color will read clean, polished and organized.I love scouring the web for ideas and inspiration for extra motivation. When you do so, notice trends and themes and how bookshelves are being styled.
