Look at all The neat stuff I scored yesterday

A friend of mine told me a while back that he had some wood stuff that he had and wanted to know if I could use it... Not knowing what stuff he had I couldn't pass up Free stuff especially if it was wood... Well Yesterday he showed up and unloaded it near My Garage...I was in the middle of cleaning my brushes out cause I had just finished clear coating the cabinets that I am making and didn't realize until he had almost finished unloading the back of his pick up truck That he was out there...I walk outside and saw 3 doors stacked on top of a huge pile of wood products ... HMMMM What Goodies did you bring me I asked and he said Ah Just some doors and other stuff that I think you will like.....and before I could say anything but "Thanks I can't wait to see what under there" he told me he was in a hurry and had to be some where... I waved and thanked him again as he drove away down my long driveway... With the look on my face of Oh Boy I can't wait to have a looky.... Well here is all the stuff that he bought me ...I almost Cried with excitement..... Wow I can't wait to make some awesome stuff out of these....Take a looksy to at what he left... Maybe You can give me some ideas on what to do with all of this...I also discovered that there is an old antique Bed amongst all of these goodies..:) I love my Friends♥

    Really! If that's what it takes to get scores like that from guys I'll take lessons. Can you help us there mate?

    I'm excited to see what you make from these goodies.

    I just posted an idea for the Victorian door on picture 2. Hubby just got home from his run or I'd add more.

    oh you totally scored! that door is amazing. i seen someone on here had a door like that and they put a shelf at the bottom of the window section and then put a piece of board in the window and painted it with chalk paint. it was so cute. but i would probably hang the door on a wall and hang a mirror in the middle and still add the shelf.

    OOOO Amber I totally love your Ideas ...I was thinking the same thing with putting a board where the glass used to be and using it as a chalk board and display it on the wall somehow... I never even thought of the mirror idea that is a great idea too ...OOOO Now what to do??? Thank you so much♥

    Oh I love the mirror idea. It think if I did that I would add a bench seat, add some hooks on either side of the mirror and have yourself a unique hall tree prefect for your entry. Great place to remove shoes and check yourself just before you head out the door.

    Debbie Borthwick Replying to the message you left on picture #3 I was thinking the same thing .... I'm debating on whether to separate those pieces or not... The 4 pieces in front are actually part of an old antique bed but to try and restore it Would probably be a lot of work.... The 1st and 4th board in front would make an awesome display board for a scrolled saying up on my wall ..What do ya think?
