Asked on Oct 11, 2014

what can I do with this? any ideas?

I have no idea what this is but I found it outside my house when I moved in. I have an idea to make a headboard or wall decor but if you can throw more ideas my way, I'd love it! Thanks

    I'm not sure how big it is - but this piece might look pretty mounted on a shed, fence or wall with watering cans hanging on it!

    Not knowing the dimensions or what it's made of, I would use it as a trellis [with a couple narrower boards added] for flower vines [morning glories?] or for vegetables.

    I would hang quilts and linens on it. But then again I do that with everything!

    Nice find!! :) Would look great as wall decor...vertically or horizontally, I found something similar and bought a piece of particle board from Home Depot which I painted with chalkboard paint and nailed it to the back and made a rustic command center/Menu board. But would look nice with black framed photos in each "space" too. Endless uses!!

    I would spray paint it, cover the back with chicken wire and add a shelf to it. You can add barn stars or small grapevine or berry wreaths or both. I love country, primitive and rustic decor.

    I'd use it as a trellis for growing grapes; stand it up right or use it as an arbor atop two side trellises...paint it dk green...plant your seeds, and voila! Instant shade on a patio. Invest in a wine press...make your own wine!

    Inside, place against a wall as a type of decor, fence-like look without painting or paint it to look like it is a fence. Hang it from the ceiling as a rustic pot/utensil hanger. Hang it on a wall about eye level and use it as a memo board, picture holder; hang in craft or sewing area and post ideas, notes, etc. I'm jealous...let us know what you decide.

    It looks like a crate side from farm equipment. I have a smaller one and used it for a morning glory tower with chicken wire behind my beloved dogs grave. I used a broke shepered hook to help hold it up but a metal fence post will do better. Grave is trimmed now, but I cried the whole time! time will make it better I am sure..
