These people have seen our bedroom and I’m sure they were wondering how barn doors fit in with our decor. Doors that provide practical and beautiful solutions to ill-planned or dated home design. One of the things I’ve always disliked about our “new” home was the awkward bi-folding doors leading into the master closets and bathroom area. It really needed something like doors san diego to help make the room a little more secure and private.

I left to run an errand, so I don’t have photos of this step, but I can assure you the wood removed looked more like a big pile of long splinters than anything else. When we initially ordered the door hardware we didn’t even realize it came with a finger pull. On the front of the main door I wanted a more decorative, Statement Pull, Brushed Nickel 12.5″ For the bottom, we counter sunk the finger pull and then drilled a countersunk hole for the handle.
