What's more chic than a standing ladder? It reminds us of luxury living on a Greek island. Here's how to make a nice ladder for your bathroom.

This standing ladder offers a clever alternative solution for hanging towels.

Materials

• two pieces of 32 x 44mm planed pine, 1 800mm in length (legs)

• four 20mm dowels, 500mm in length (rungs)

How to...

Measure and make a mark 150mm in from the ends of the narrow side of the 1 800mm pieces.

Then make three marks 400mm apart. Drill a 20mm hole at each mark, about 30mm deep.

Using Alcolin Professional Wood Glue, attach the dowels in-between the two long pieces.

When the glue is completely dry, sand to a smooth finish.
