You can see from this pictures below where the pantry is and it's right next to the mud room/laundry room off the garage. My plan is for the barn door hardware to mount over both doorways, rest over the pantry when closed and slide back and forth over the mud room doorway when accessing the pantry.
Now that I know where I'm going to be putting my barn door, the fun begins with designing one!
What I like about the first inspiration photo is that it combines the look of the traditional style barn door with a modern one. Not crazy about the door being white though.
What I like about the next photo is the not necessarily the color but the idea of it being painted and distressed. I also like the style of the paneled door with framing a lot too!
I chose this last photo because of the wood stain and style of door which is pretty basic and simple. If I went with a wood stain It would have to match my kitchen table but it's definitely an option.
They're all so pretty but I'm leaning toward the first option for door style with a wood stain finish. I'll definitely need a handle on there as well since it will be used often. Most likely I'll use the same handle that I put on the kitchen cabinets, which I still need to choose! That'll be my next post.
Which inspiration photo is your favorite?
