repurposing doors

17 years ago

I have a set of beautiful custom interior doors that are possibly made of spanish cedar or cypress (not sure) that are too big to be used as doors for my home. they are over 9 feet tall. i would love any ideas for repurposing them. i have thought about headboards or a daybed. does anyone have good ideas or links.

A friend made a bar out of old solid wood doors .
She turned them sideways and used them as the sides .
Gorgeous end product .
Sorry - no photos .

If they're flat, not raised paneled, add legs or pedestals to make a refectory table.
