What would you do? in The Long and Winding Road

(Real entry, <----)

The hanging ladder I ordered, arrived this afternoon. This is how it looked when I found it on Etsy:

Some of your comments made me decide I wanted to paint it white, to blend in so that the greenery of the hanging plants would be the highlight. So, as I said, it arrived today. It’s just sanded down, plain. And I like it. I like the simplicity and rusticness (is that a word?) of it.

I’m having second thoughts about painting it. I think I might like it just plain, like it is. I’d like it white, too. What do you think???
