barn style doors for contemporary interiors

When planning our remodel, we knew we wanted to feature one of these in our home. To my mind, they're not only functional (and space saving!), but many of them also have an eye-grabbing modern art kind of quality.

Wish I could show you a photo of ours, which closes off my office and the adjoining "mail room" (where we dump mail, keys, cell phones, coats, etc.) from our foyer. However, it's still waiting to be stained, and there's a plastic protective film covering the five horizontal panes of frosted glass. You don't really want to see it yet.

So instead, here are some other handsome variations on this theme...
