How Would You . . .

This adorable Jeu de Quilles (Bowling) Set ($575), designed to look like toy soldiers, is from 1940s France. With only nine pins left, it's probably a bit difficult to play a genuine bowling game. So, I'd like you to think outside of the alley and tell me how you'd use the set in your home as décor or a furnishing. If you're handy or know a good carpenter, you could certainly transform them into a playful and interesting furniture piece, by perhaps using the pins as legs for a table or arms for a shelf. Or, you might even hang them from the ceiling as a chandelier. I'd love to use them as small fence posts, or pedestals for outdoor candles. Tell me how you'd use them in your home by commenting below!

    I'd either use it as firewood or I'd re-paint them in a more appealing color scheme and use them as cabinet handles in the kitchen.

    I would use them to decorate a playroom (on a high shelf) or they almost look like nutcrackers so I think you could use them around Christmas time too.

    Mount them to a piece of wood so that you could display children's books between them in a boy's room.

    I'll probably use them on as a kid's coat rack. Just have them stick out from the sides and the ball as a finnial on the top.

    I really hate the juvenile color scheme and the creepy faces!
