An old wooden ladder found a whole new purpose as this clever angled bookshelf running right alongside the stairs. Mounted at the same incline as the staircase, it holds rows of books perfectly in place while barely taking up any space at all. It is such a smart way to add storage and character to an awkward stairway wall using something most people would have thrown away. Save this one if you have an old ladder and a staircase that could use a little more charm.
