After much boring discussion about resale values and blah, blah, blah, we decided to keep the guestroom as a guestroom and turn the current construction zone into a great big bedroom.
I brought this old door home this summer, as part of a job lot from the auction. Didn't really know what I was going to use it for - table top, maybe?
It works nicely in the guestroom as a sort of catchall/decorative piece.
Right now, we're sleeping in there, on a mattress on the floor. But when the real bed moves back in, I'll attach a shelf at a convenient height. And then it will be a nightstand, as well.

I try to just collect small things, Melissa, but the doors do tend to sneak in there!
And Felicity, I'm excited, too. And a little nervous....
I really like that. Are you on Flickr so I can 'favourite' that image?
I'm signing up for Flickr soon - I'll let you know when it's up. Thanks for asking!
this is right up my alley, this door deserves pretty surroundings and a long and happy life
