White Wednesday ~ Doors or Benches?

My latest Craigslist find.....pretty cool, but I'm completely stumped as to how to use them!  I suppose the best thing would be to separate the benches from the doors.  What do you think?



I'm linking up with Faded Charm for White Wednesday.

Blessings,
Susie

  2. Well, aren't those the coolest things ever? I wonder if they were used in the old school cloak rooms? We had something similar to that in the cloak room where I went to grade school. They were put down in the winter so we could sit and put our boots and snow pants on. I'm not sure if that is what they are though.

    You know...having said that ...what came to mind is that they would be cool as "shutters" on a porch framing a door or window or something and you could pull the benches down to "sit a spell". Whatever you do with them..they are a fabulous find! Hugs- Diana

  4. The doors would make the prettiest headboard, like Maria has at Dreamy Whites. Such great patina!

  5. I wonder why they attached them? but you are right they would be better separated. Great patina to them....you've done well with Craigs list!

  6. I don't think I would want to separate them. Doors are an easy find but I have never seen anything like these.

    That being said, I'm not sure how exactly I would use them. They are beautiful.

  9. Hi Susie!
    You have totally been on my mind!! I hope you are doing well. Perusing craigslist is definitely a good sign :) :)
    Love the doors......how about leaning up against a wall or something? They are fabulous! OR "totes fab" as my teenybopper daughters would say! :)

  17. Great finds, Susie! I love both the doors and the benches, but definitely separate them. They both have great patina and great lines!
    Have a great Sunday!

  18. Just finding your blog today and poking around. Wondering what you've done with these. Very cool find. Someone was very clever to create these. Makes me wonder if there was a table that folded down from the cabinet the doors were on.

    Do you do shows? (like I said I'm new here) These would make the coolest display pieces!
