This is suppose an old chicken coop. Been sitting on my porch for years. Really like it but dont know what to do with it. Thought about a coffee table, but my family room is just too small...

Put it on your porch or patio. You could make a table out of it as you mentioned...you could put some plants in it...maybe some sort of cabinet...Someone will come up with a fab idea.

Make a coffee table for your porch. Put short legs in each corner on the bottom with the plywood, put a piece of tempered glass on the top, fill it with things that interest you. Examples: small pieces of drift wood, seashells, succulents pretty rocks or even a ceramic chicken sitting on a straw nest. You can usually find used glass table tops at flea markets or thrift stores.

I was also going to suggest a coffee table for the porch. Check the chicken coop in this porch decorating post (about halfway down): http://theletteredcottage.net/porch-ideas/ This girl is sooooo unbelievably creative. She's definitely one of my favorite decorating bloggers!

What about a potting Table, you could add shelves where the door is and put your pots on it and add a board on top for your work table.

An outdoor food prep station, a bar, a toy closet, a potting station, etc. put a piece of wood sheeting as the back. Add shelves if needed by using the slats as runners for the shelf. Paint or stain. Add a solid top. Could always add a piece of wood and then add stones or tile or anything mosaic.

First thing that comes to mind is a Bar. I would put shelves in the inside and add a top, turn it around and enjoy. If you are a non- drinker of alcohol you can always use it for all types of drinks.

Maybe you can use it as a sofa table (behind the sofa) or a console table. Either way it's great for storage and putting decorative things on top.
