Your Barn Door is Open...

It's always good to do something a little unexpected.  A little twist gives the place some extra interest.

The layout in the attic and the routing of the mechanical items didn't leave a lot of space for a linen closet.  Which meant, of course, that a traditional door frame wasn't really going to work either.

So we ended up with this idea.  It turned out really well.  The door slides on the top rail to reveal a usable, small-ish linen closet.  The door is original to the house (see the door in the top photo of a previous post).  After scraping old junk off it, filling the voids from the old lock set, etc., it looks pretty good with a couple of new coats of Impervo.
