Old Door and Plumbing Supplies

Sliding barn door hardware costs hundreds. We used simple supplies from the hardware store to hang this awesome old green door that I found at ReStore for $10. The complete cost of the project was less than $40.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you Brenda for bringing this idea to my attention. We might finally get a door on our master bathroom! We've been wishing we'd have thought of a pocket door during construction, but can't do one now without changing wiring for a light switch so it's a slider or one that opens and we really didn't want that.

    Thanks everyone! It's really a simple project, and has worked so well for us because it doesn't take up space in our tiny bathroom. :)

    Just thought of a question Brenda. Do you ever have any problems with it scraping the wall behind it?

    Hi Becky! It doesn't touch the wall, but sometimes it scrapes the baseboard. We've actually decided that we are going to put a track along the baseboard because as you slide the door it tends to pull out away from the wall. It wouldn't be an issue if it wasn't a bathroom door!

    Thanks Brenda. A track is a good idea as long as it's not in the doorway itself. I'm guessing you mean just along the wall are, but out just far enough to hold the door in place when opening it again?

    exactly. I thought we could run it along the baseboard, with a stopper at the end just so you can't pull it off the track. Will also save the baseboard from further scrapes. We'll get to that.... eventually! lol

    We saw a house with double barn doors separating the kitchen/dining living room area from the bedroom hallway, and it was splendid. With rough hewn beams in the open living area, we just loved the house, but it was already bid way over asking price. That's what barn doors can do!

    I have a greenish door just like yours. I proped it up in the corner of my bedroom and hung a large wreath on it. I love your idea about hanging it. Definately saving your post. Thank you Brenda.
