Cool ideas.
Brown found a barn door at The Columbus Architectural Salvage Yard. It had been salvaged from an old dairy farm in Mansfield, Ohio, from a building that was used for cold storage of dairy products. It was made in the 1940s, and its worn patina lets you know you're about to enter a unique bathroom with modern country style. "I liked the fact that the barn door was beat up, with ruts taken out and chipping paint," Brown says. Using a barn door on a track also saved a considerable amount of space, and again, Brown found a way to save money. "The barn door needed a track, but I was shocked to find that tracks sold online were approximately $450, almost double what the door cost!" she says. Living near farm country came in handy; she headed out to a tractor supply company in the middle of Ohio. "The employees helped me find all the right pieces for the track, including rails, wheels, hardware, nuts and bolts," she says. "The pieces were steel, and I spray painted them black." The barn door track hardware ended up costing $128.
Easy to make with repurposed wood.
Love the driftwood mirror.
