Installing a Sliding Barn Door in the Home
Friends, we are down to the wire on this #OneRoomChallenge renovation! I have spent the last six weeks completely transforming my bedroom and creating a DREAM closet out of a small space! When I started, I told you exactly how I planned to move walls, make a new doorway, and add a sliding barn door. My dream is becoming a reality! Tomorrow I'm going to share the FULL closet makeover reveal (which is AMAZING!), but today is all about that STUNNING sliding barn door!

I'm not sure if it was my husband's dream to give me an amazing closet or not?! lol. But it WAS his dream to make an amazing bathroom - which meant moving walls and doorways, and renovating my Master Bedroom Closet. In the pictures above, you can see that we made our own door where there wasn't one before.
Once I knew we were moving the doorway into my closet, the obvious solution was a sliding barn door! It's currently available in the US and in Canada, and it's worth every penny! This kit includes the door, the hardware, and the soft close mechanism. Perfect for doorways, closets or room dividers.
You can paint or stain the door any colour you like. I wanted to keep the natural wood colour, to tie the colours from the closet and master bedroom together, so we just used a Polycrylic from Minwax to protect the door.
Here's a quick and easy rundown of how we installed our beautiful new sliding barn door:
I didn't go into detail about the specific measurements because those will be specific to your space (and described in your instructions), but I hope you got a good idea of how easy it is to get your own beautiful sliding barn wood door!
Stay tuned for the FULL closet reveal tomorrow!
Don't forget to follow along with my 6 week room renovation! I'm sharing the step-by-step process in these posts:

Looks great, wish my closet were this pretty.
haha, and you haven't even seen the full closet reveal yet!
I love this door! I actually installed the same door, but it took me much more than a hour! I wish I watched your video before I installed mine!
Haha! Our instructions were pretty difficult to follow, were yours? We thought the video would make it easier for others!
I considered adding one of these to our room too! I think this looks fantastic and is very true to you as a designer and your style. Well done~
Looks great Lindi! I am heading over to check out the full reveal now.
Yay! Thanks for stopping by my friend!
So gorgeous! LOVE barn doors!
Thank you girl! I can't believe how beautifully it turned out!
Love it! I'm fairly certain that would take me more than an hour ! Good job!
Haha, we tried to make it as easy as we could for people!
I love sliding barn doors. They add so much character to a space!
I 100% agree! And they are save so much space too!
I love the naturalness of the color of the barn-door, stunning. Everything looks so clean and crisp.

Thank you so much Maria! I was too afraid to paint it this time around. And I LOVE natural wood tones in every room :)
It's so pretty, and I can't believe it was so easy to install. Great move to keep the natural wood - I love it!
Yes! I think we made the right call keeping it natural this time around too :)
Ah Lindi I LOVE this barn door. And really your whole closet makeover. Okay so I want to steal the entire closet. Definitely one of my favorite ORC rooms.
Thank you SO much Sarah! You're the sweetest! That's so nice of you to say! I think this door sort of steals the show :)
We have several sliding barn doors in our home and they are my favorite things. They make such an impact.
Oh really?! This is my first, and I think I'm hooked! I LOVE it.
It's so pretty !!! I love it where did you get your rails and wheels?
