Lucy Nunn on May 03, 2015My immediate thought is a little table. Is it tall enough? What about if you put little casters on the bottom? Then I wonder what your decorating style is....If it were it were me, I'd consider painting it a pale color (ice blue? cream?) with a high gloss paint. Then get a graphic I love from the Graphic Fairy, and make a water decal. She has some beautiful French-y looking vintage graphics.Helpful Reply

Lee Cunningham Green on May 03, 2015I would decoupge it using things your grandmother liked as a bit of a pleasant memory, if she liked roses for example. Modge- Podge and magazines and make it a sort of memory canister for someone you loved.Helpful Reply

Lindcurt on May 04, 2015Many of the premium pet foods have a lot of oil in them and may stain the cardboard. I'd probably use it for an end table. Find some cute little wooden feet and then decoupage' family photos - especially one's of Grandma - on the outside. Cut a piece of glass for the top so the wood does not warp and stain from the moisture off of beverage glasses. Great place to hide those magazines that you never seem to get read. Or seasonal storage for comforts and throws that you do not need in summer.Helpful Reply

Cathey DeRosa on May 05, 2015I liked the decoupage idea and I would use it for a couch/chair side table with a small lamp and maybe plant on it. YES! and store something inside it. Store yarn, material, something from your crafts or little things you have no where else to put, but you want to keep them. It's a beautiful piece and I am such a sucker for anything from my heritage. I can't wait to see what you decide to do.Helpful Reply
