Ideas needed for old swinging doors?

I have two sets of two swinging louvered doors - the kind you’d have indoors in the doorway between the kitchen & dining room, for instance. Structurally in good shape but I need some inspiration for what to do with them. Ideas???

Hi! Painting them is always am option! Good luck!
Could you make them into a hinged room divider?
I should have also said that each of them is about 3 - 3 1/2 feet tall. They probably would make a nice room divider, but I don’t really need them for that.
The lady at the store was trying hard to get rid of them, and I paid two dollars for the lot, but even then, knowing I had no idea what I would do with them! :)
I just thought perhaps someone had done a really cool project that they could share.
Thanks for your thoughts, Cynthia H and Frugal!
Hi Julie, how about a corner shelf? This look quite pretty

You could hang on the wall and put photos in the "slots".
