There are a number of things I could use it for. First I might repaint it though. My granny always put all her pies in her pie safe. It was much bigger than that one, but I do a lot less baking then she did too. I could put all my fresh baked goods in it. Use it to store onions, potatoes, knick knacks, plates. And of course use it in my chicken coop, well the storage part of it anyways. I love finding old thigns like that.
