Sometimes waiting is the best idea
We took down the master bathroom door when we remodeled about 4 years ago. The door actually opened in and If someone was using the toilet, or the shower, they were stuck in the bathroom. We always knew we needed a sliding door, but after seeing the pains it took to install a pocket door, we just weren’t ready to take that on. So we stalled … a long time.
We looked into the barn doors previously, but the “barn style” just didn’t match our home decor style. We also find it exciting to use recycled products in our remodeling.
About a month ago, we came upon this old door at a recycled building products store in Seattle. Our bathroom doesn’t have any windows, so I really was loving the idea of a door with a window - to bring a little light in. This door was quite a find and exactly what I’d been looking for. We splurged on the barn door kit and because my husband is the building bomb, it works like a charm!
The point of the door is to allow for some privacy right? The window film is perfect and it looks just a gorgeous stained glass window - add the pipe door handle and we’ve got a trendy, stained glass sliding door that matches our bathroom decor beautifully!
Sometimes it pays to wait and let the great ideas develop naturally.
