A possible source and a good article is at the Village Home Square site, http://villagesquarehomes.com/topics/2011/barn-doors/. They mention, "After searching for a local craftsman in Atlanta, we found Steve McKinney at Historic Flooring in Johnson City, Tennessee. Have one conversation with Steve and you'll know he is passionate about his craft. His extensive gallery of wood flooring and barn doors makes it easy to see his work, and his insight and experience make the design process effective." http://historicflooring.com/

Will, This would either be an online purchase or something that you would find on Craiglist. Here is an online source for you to start with - http://www.unclehowards.com/BarnDoors.aspx Here is where you can find the hardware - http://www.barndoorshardware.com/?gclid=CLLZi56un6sCFY1S7AodrmhzkQ You may need somebody to help you do the work since the doors can be heavy. Are you handy around your home? Getting a professional in is always good, but be aware that they will charge you a lot since they will treat this as a specialty. Call some friends over for a pizza party and get them to help you fix it.

I have made them for storage sheds. Why not just build a new one and distress for the aged look before you paint it? This way you can build a little thicker door than most old barn doors. So hardware will fit on it better. I do think its the look you are after not the riot.
