Library Ladder?!

Submitted by tiat on Thu, 01/27/2011 - 14:07

I've always dreamed of having floor to ceiling book shelves with a rolling ladder attached.... like at the beginning of Beauty and the Beast.  I know it is a totally nerdy dream, but I love books and I homeschool four readers.  The kits to make and assemble library ladders  are SO expensive.  I know Ana has posted ladders for bunk beds.  I can't help but think this would be a totally possible DIY project..  if I just knew how to go about it   Anyone else have the same nerdy dream?

Yes!!!! I want an entire room, floor to ceiling, full of books! and those ladders look like so much fun! I think that it's definitely DIY possible.an entire enseble, like this http://www.amazon.com/Decorate.....B0047UZI56 but with wheels on the ladder? :D or what about http://www.newel.com/PreviewIm.....ageID=1208 or http://www.ivgstores.com/IVG2/.....138-.htm  I think the keys to the first and last are the wheels and the little metal bar on the bookcase that the ladder attaches to.
