Hinge doors together. Hang sheers on back. Bam. Room divider.
Wow, beautiful!! You could make a lovely table out them, with or without paint.
I'm excited to see how it comes out!
Could you take out the glass and hang small planters from the top of each window pane? Put it in the yard? These are an awesome find, I'm excited to see what you end up doing!
Create sliding barn doors between the bedroom
Could you add wood or metal to the top of the doors to attach the barn door hardware? We have used doors that are too large for the opening before they just overlap the frame of the door. Or perhaps frame a door or window with them?
PS LOVE the hardware on them9;
If you have a high wall I think it would look rather interesting to put paintings or prints behind the glass....
I'd put family photos behind the panes and hang them horizontally for a great wall effect.
what about 'fake' shutters on the inside of a window or patio door?
PS. the link sent by Janet Pizaro has a 'p' missing out of repurposing.
using copper pipe and window screen, create shelves at various heights to make 1) a dough rising area 2) a great baking pan, pie tin, cupcake pan cookie sheet storage area 3) in our house, a cat roost
I hinged 4 narrow antique doors with beautiful designs on glass; made a great foyer when I didn't have one.
if I had these, I'd use 3 hinges to hinge them together, then use glass paint to make stained glass pictures, then you have a stained glass room divider. You can just print out pictures you like, tape them on the backside of the glass, then paint on the front following the picture.
I was going to give jojobear's answer: sliding barn doors is your best bet. A great updated look for your room.
All I see is an island workspace,remove the glass have each door be the end fremaand build between
use the height of the door framefor hanging and display use dowels hooks put a top shelfshelf to hang plants or pots
Ok, how about joining them together at the top and bottom back with 2x4's for a grill niche. The top can have canvas for shade and shelter from rain while grilling. Put hooks across to hang grilling utensils.
How about adding a hinge on them and making a folding room screen or divider. You could either paint the glass or add some type of material that you love.
Paint the back side of them and use the front as dry erase boards.
Pint a nice bright color that will go with your decor.
Remember back on here where a lady had taken a rubber floor mat and made it into a piece of art? Get 4 mats, the size of the openings, paint them.. paint wood in a similar but lighter color. Then use them as u see fit.
Got young kids? 2 shallow tubs and some legs put dirt for flowers or sand for the kids
Build a custom sized bookcase or armoire to fit the doors and you have a unique library or linen cabinet. Wall mount in dining room creating 2 long glass shelves for "floating" bar. Can they replace any closet or pantry doors in your house? Side light panels for your entry door? Cool find....
I don't know if anyone else said this but how about adding to their length to cover your doorway and then making sliding barn doors out of them. Not sure the space where your bedroom door is but you could frost the glass and with the hardware for the sliding mechanism, might look kind of cool. Or if not barn style then maybe shoji screen style
Too short, too long..........got a saw.?....do some trimming for them to fit......DIY is what this is called. You can DO it!! I like the sliding door project the best!!
Thanks everyone for your suggestions - we have decided to sell the doors instead of using them.
I love the romantic feel of doors hinged between rooms, kept open off the wall about a foot, on the unhinged side (like an inviting open gate). Beautiful between dining room and kitchen or framing the opening to a hallway.
Ive seen murals with French doors, with plants in front and behind too.
No need for them to reach the top of the doorway either.
Please post a pic of your process-- hits and misses 😊... just for fun!
