Barn doors are all the rage these days. I love them in the right situation. In the home in the upper picture, I used the barn door as a pantry door. The door paint matches the island paint. The space under the stairs was the perfect amount of space needed for a large walk in pantry. Something you will rarely see in a home of this age.

In the lower picture I used a standard door on a sliding rail as a bathroom door in the master bedroom.
