Another week, another project done! We've been waiting to get to the finishing touches for awhile now and the first project up was a set of barn doors for the second floor living space. We're using this space as a den right now but since it's right by the smaller bedrooms, someone with kids might want to make it into a playroom...in which case, doors would be key for closing off the area! We built custom barn doors for the last house so this was an easier project in that Brian already had a design in his head and knew how to execute. But, instead of going with regular white doors, we took a leap of faith and went with a bright color. We both love how it came out...hopefully others will love it too!
Onto the project:
We also took some "after" pictures - even though there are still a few small projects to do on the first floor so it's not completely finished yet. But it's getting close!
Onto the project:
 |
| We didn't take many pictures in the building of the door - this is made from pre-primed (by us) 3/4" veneer plywood with floor trim ripped to size for the detail |
 |
| Moving onto setting up the track. Laser level is key here |
 |
| There it is! |
 |
| Dryfitting the doors - looks like they're the right size |
 |
| Doors set up for painting |
 |
| And painted! We went with a really bold color - Sherwin Williams Lakeshore (SW 6494), using Sherwin Williams Emerald Urethane trim paint in satin |
 |
| Ta-da! Open... |
 |
| and closed! |
 |
| The kitchen/family room area. There will be another barn door on that far wall to the pantry in the not too distant future |
