What can I do with mission-style futon wood end pieces?

Question

Found these wood ends to a futon.  How can I repurpose them?  Too pretty to toss!  The picture is to show original use.  Thanks for any ideas....and any of your own pictures of what you may have done would be appreciated.

William · Answer

I love Mission furniture. First thing comes to mind, the sides of a chair or bench. A cocktail table. A headboard.

Judy Capone Mantell · Answer

I agree with William and especially like the bench with drawers he shows. Another use would be a pet bed, or plant stand with individual pots or a large window box type container for herbs or flowers.

Attach them to the back of two chairs or a bench for extra seating - indoors or out. Wrap them in flowers and greenery and hang them on your porch.   Make them into an 'A' frame,  add wood across for a shelf unit.  Tons of options. Just depends on what works best for you. Good luck.
