You could turn it into a coffee table or a bench. If it has a domed top, you would have to remove it for above ideas. Also, great for displaying old quilts, vintage toys, etc during holidays. Add plastic greenery and deck it out.

I have a square one that I polished the outside and then turned it on its side and put shelves inside of which I store books.
