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. With it's minimal clearance requirements and versatile design options, it was perfect for our downstairs bathroom. 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. The fun shower soap dispenser was an inspiration from one of the places we stayed at while on our honeymoon. #renovation #bathroom #shower #windows #glass #clawfoottub #IKEA #vanity #modern

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. Another quick scrub and layer of sealant and it will be finished! We also took a trip to IKEA to get a new vanity.

Installing the floor tile in the bathroom was a little more tedious than we expected, but worth the time and effort. We decided to go with a minimal grout line to emphasize the large format tile. Finished pictures to come! #renovation #bathroom #vanity #modern #tile #floor #IKEA

It's starting to look like an actual shower! The tile is now all installed and grouted. #renovation #bathroom #shower #tile #pebble #modern

Erik spent the day installing the tile for the shower walls. This light blue glass tile was another great deal we stumbled on. #renovation #bathroom #shower #tile #glass #modern

Erik found this pebble floor tile online and we laid it out to get an idea of how it will look. We also have the rest of the shower walls covered in Red Guard. #renovation #shower #tile #bathroom

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. It didn't take long before the first coat of primer was finished. Erik also put Red Guard on the seams of the shower walls. #renovation #primer #walls #bathroom

With the continued help of Eric, we were able to get the first floor drywall installed and mudded in just a couple days. So excited for painting to start! #renovation #drywall #walls #livingroom #bathroom #office

Erik and his dad installed the bathroom drywall! #renovation #bathroom #drywall
