The space already feels so much bigger & brighter. Especially after removing that closet wall & turning it into a little open office.
When we were demoing the space we removed the bathroom door & reframed in the opening with hopes of adding a sliding barn door in the future.
Well the future turned out to be immediately after the initial makeover because I can’t leave a space unfinished. It’s just not in me y’all!
So here’s how I made 2 sliding barn doors the easy way!
Supplies:
- Hollow Core Door Slab
- Sliding Barn Door Hardware
- (4) 1 x 4 pine boards
- (1) 1 x 6 pine board
- (1) 1 x 8 pine board
- Square trim pieces
- Mirrored glass
- Loctite Adhesive
- Wood Glue
- Caulk
- Paint
Procedure:
- For our sliding barn doors I started with plain hollow core doors from Home Depot.
- I measured the width of the door & started by cutting the 1×8 & 1×6 to that length.
- Attach the 1×8 to the bottom of the door & the 1x 6 to the top using finishing nails & wood glue.
This is how the door should look so far!
- Next, measure & cut the 1×4 pieces & attach them to the sides of the door with nails & wood glue.
- Once the top, bottom, & sides are in place, measure & cut a 1×6 to fit in between the side pieces. Use a square to make sure it is in position.
- This piece is not in the center of the door, it is inches from the top.
- I used trim pieces to add a fun detail to the bottom portion of the door. This is completely optional but I felt like the barn door was missing something without this detail.
Scrap wood is great for spacing the trim detail easily
- Once the door is trimmed on, fill all the nail holes & seams.
- After the filler is dry, sand the entire door with 220 grit sandpaper. If you don’t have an electric sander now is the time to add it to the Amazon cart!
Here is how the door should look so far, plus my sweet helper!
