My Barn Door


I love the look of barn doors.  My sister had two grand barn doors installed in her new home with authentic hardware and they look gorgeous.  I'm always searching pinterest and blog sites for different ideas.  I knew I had to put a door somewhere in my home even though I have a very small house.  I decided that I would put a barn door in my family room since there was no existing door.  By installing a sliding door it would provide a bit of privacy from the entryway and kitchen if needed.  

Here is my barn door...



My design is in no way original nor is the hardware.  I found many ideas on pinterest where people used pipe for the top rail and for the handle and I love the look...plus it was cheap!  





My door is only 33 inches wide by 7 feet tall.  I used 1 x 12 x 8 pine to construct the door and then used 1 x 6 for the backwards "Z" design on the front.  I stained the door with espresso Minwax stain.



I'm very happy with the way it turned out and works really well in my small space.  


Thank you for stopping by...have a great weekend!

  6. Did you use anything at the bottom to help it glide, or to keep it from hitting the baseboard or the wall?
