We had moved into a new house and were looking for furniture ideas to fill our entry way. About this same time we were cleaning out my grandparents barn and found a number of old wooden doors that were quite dusty but otherwise in fairly good shape. We decided to use on of them to create a hall butler. We came up with a design for the bench that would compliment the antique styles of the door but would also fit into the modern finishings of our house. It has now become a focal point as people enter our house and we have received a number of offers from people wanting to buy it off us. We so far have not been able to part with it!
