Barn Door Update

Last week I wrote about my desire for a barn door for our laundry room.  You can read about it here.  I really want oil rubbed bronze hardware, but it is so expensive.  Lucky for me my sweet brother in-law owns a powder coating business in NC.  Have you ever heard of powder coating?  It is so cool - the finished is baked on.   So, I bought some less expensive galvanized hardware at tractor supply. It looked like this




After being powder coated and thanks to my sweet sister outlaw  in-law for advising on the color it looks like this




Hard to believe it is not oil rubbed bronze - right?  Here is another post on powder coating. 


Next,  Mr. TMD and I went on the quest for a door.  




I could spend all day just dreaming up ideas in the salvage shop.




After much shopping - success!  We ended up buying a plain slab that is going to get a makeover.  Mr. TMD loaded up the door and it is waiting on my contractor to come jazz up and install.  Stay tuned.....this is going to be a good one.

That really does look just like ORB. Great idea to powder coat it. Now I can't wait to see what kind of magical-ness you pull off with the door itself!
