Throwback Thursday: DIY bathroom sliding door
Today on Throwback Thursday, we bring you our homemade sliding barn door, one of my favorite features of our house! Every inch counts in a smaller house, which is why we wanted to avoid traditional hinged interior doors as much as possible. Cue the sliding barn door.

Of course, being the mindfully selective people we are, the hardest part was finding a door we

Here are some recent updated pictures with the finished shower, painted window frame with frosted glass and mirror.

Finished bathroom floor and new vanity
The floors are finished after a couple tries at different grout colors. It also took a chemical wash to remove the grout haze from the tile when it was done.

First coat of primer and shower update
We didn't waste any time getting painting started. With all the furniture and fixtures stored in the kitchen, this was the perfect opportunity to take advantage of the cleared space.
