Snapoutofit on Oct 25, 2016I think the best thing to use it for is as a top to a new cabniet or table. The old wood contrast against the modern look of a piece would really look cool.Helpful Reply

Deanna Nassar on Oct 25, 2016Do you have a similar sized space in your home? Like an alcove type space? Granny had a space between the wall and chimney. Grandpa closed it in and made 4 shelves for storing all the containers she collected. Or you could build a closet to store all your small appliances; out of sight but close at hand. The door may have been part of an exterior wall for a horse stall. Sort of a window that could be closed off when cold.Helpful Reply

Bets on Oct 25, 2016We had an old door nailed to the wall of our breakfast room. I used it to measure our daughter's height as she was growing. We sanded and painted it and it was a nice conversation piece. When she had children she took it and used it for the same purpose with her children. We used a permanent marker and made the line with the date next to it. I'm thinking this will be in the family for years.Helpful Reply

Kris on Oct 25, 2016Make it into a coat rack. I think you could hang 2 hooks on each side of the door and make a bench for the bottom with storage for boots or hats and gloves.Helpful Reply

Ann Davis on Nov 06, 2016Strip or repaint and hang on barn door track as pantry, closet, or bathroom door. It looks like it could be cleaned good and sanded and stained. I would keep old hinges rusty and sealed for aesthetics.Helpful Reply
