Hi All,

I found these french doors but will not work in the space thought. Does anyone have another creative idea for them?

Thanks

Kristy

SavvySaver writes: I will give you my fabulous idea that I can't use afterall, due to lack of space. It (they)would make a wonderful room divider and especially good for small spaces because you have the see through factor while still enjoying the beauty of gorgeous french doors. In my limited space, I had planned to hang it perpendicular to the wall (using a carpenter-crafted, L-shaped wooden base securely attached to the wall with mollys. I too would hunt around for some special hardware. While I was junking yesterday, I just happened to see a wonderful old black wrought iron curvy handle that would look stellar on your door. (or mine if I could implement this idea). I'd have a carpenter plug the existing hole with an oversized biscuit before installing it, paving the way for any type of handle.

Welcome to JMS! These are some might fine doors. I think one of them used as the top of an arbor would be lovely. Just a thought....

Have fun on the site!

But all the ideas you've received so far are winners. Have fun!

itsnotjunk2me writes: Kristy, What a great find! You could use them as a photo holder, either lean it up against a wall, build a foot/brace to hold it upright or hang it horizontally on a wall. I would also find a doorknob to put back on the door. You could use it as a windbreak on a porch or deck...oooh so many possibilities! I look forward to seeing the finished project. ~judi ;) Posted: 7:51 pm on October 31st
