DIY Sliding Barn Door

September 23, 2013 by dailygnome 1 Comment

Jason hung the barn door he made for the laundry room at the top of the stairs last weekend. Finishing touch. It now feels our home remodel is officially complete! Super proud of him – took a bit of trial and error, determination and attention to detail but so happy with the result.

He used fir wood and and came up with a simple plank design.

After some extensive research, we found our hardware online:

We hit the Rejuevention salvage store and found this old rustic handle. Perfect for pulling open and shut.

A natural stain really brings out the warmth of the wood.

Since we still have an old Maytag washer {still kicking and loud}, it’s nice to slide the heavy door shut to block out the noise {along with the piles of dirty laundry}.
