There wasn't any money in the budget for an elaborate custom ladder for the loft. "We decided to use materials available from the local hardware store and left over from the rest of construction," says DeForest. This connected the ladder visually with the rest of the home, as the bright red plywood stringer was used in the cabinets, and the the region outdoors, as the treads were short pieces of the flooring salvaged from a nearby Amish farmhouse.
