I think this is such a cute idea. Just an old ladder, a few boards, and a little paint! Would be a great idea to display a Christmas village!

There are two things I find that clients hate the most, when you're doing a lot of interior work, particularly when it involves taking away the kitchen for awhile. The first is the kitchen itself. Eating out of a microwave, and being on a first name basis with every delivery joint within a five mile radius, gets old fast. The second major peeve is dust. It's bad enough being without a kitchen, but blowing dust out of a coffee mug in the spot you've been exiled to in the basement can bring about irrational rage!

I try to mitigate the first of these conditions by installing a temporary kitchen whenever possible, so at least my clients can do some basic cooking, and wash up afterwards. Being without the real kitchen is a drag, but this helps keep clients happy, which is a win for both of us!

The second condition is something I try to be pretty through about, inclding a trick you'll see in a few of the pictures.
