    Beautiful old door ! Do you want to make it into something useful, or just decorative ? You could put them together as a "V" shape and add shelves. You could put them side by side and add a few coat hooks with bench in front of them. Painting would be up to you, depending on your skills and colors of the room. I would at least paint them 2 tone, one color in the center panes and a different color around the edges, maybe a 3rd color for the trim around the panels. You could always add a pretty stencil design as an accent. Have fun and let us see what you come up with !

    I wouldn't paint them. I'd wash them with Murphy's Oil Soap to get any residue off of them and then give them a paste waxing. I would put a primitive wreath on it in an off white color. I like the previous idea also.

    I love those doors (my green balloon just went up lol). Let's see the entrance way, for context. I like Lauren's idea, clean, wax and depending, varnish or not, but seeing where they will be hung would be helpful.

    maybe some fabric in the "inside part."
