Installing a Bathroom Barn Door
Having a small room such as a bathroom makes a perfect place for a small sliding barn door.

It’s not unusual to find a home that contains one single large space that incorporates the living, dining, and kitchen spaces.

These doors will make a nice way to divide a big open space regardless of being able to reach across to create another room.

Go, Connie, go! You need a ‘reason’ to do these! They are so darn cute. I’d like to have them, I’d dream of doing it if I ever have a country house. I never thought of them even for the bathroom, too!

I remember them (few & far between over here, though for the life of me I can’t remember what they were called in Ireland).
