Pocket door to swinging door?
Comments (5)If you like swinging doors, but don't have the area for a full-sized door, consider this hack: http://www.2littlesuperheroes.com/2013/02/bifold-doors-turned-fancy-french-doors.html/ And convert a bifold (which screams "closet") into a double door (which screams "fancy"). All the perks of a full door, with half the swing. You can also add really easy to use locks on the doors still to make them functional, as well as full-size (dummy) handles for when you are older....See MoreCrash course on doors?

Comments (36)"I went to work in an office that had a pocket door that never worked right because someone had driven nails into it at some point and it was never the same after" (palimpsest) Yes. This happened to us when DH nailed the baseboard on the wall between the laundry and kitchen. The door came off track. When we renovate I will replace or remove. However, this was builder grade. On our extension I added three pocket doors.

Use a good carpenter....See MoreInstalling regular swinging doors as barn doors
Comments (18)Aside from the fact that your rough opening may be manipulated to accommodate a barn door, does the overall style of your home support this door style?

Aside from the function question, I think the style question also needs to be raised for your space in order to ensure your home remains cohesive as well as functional....See MoreInward or Outward Swinging Door in this Large Pantry?
Comments (43)I'm sorry but this kitchen design is about as inefficient as any I've seen and adding an island between the dog leg sink island and cooktop only makes it a heck of a lot worse because that middle island is a barrier between the sink and fridge and sink and cooktop. Why are you stuck on this poorly laid out and very dated layout? If you ever go to sell, trust me, most people will be trying to figure out what to lower the value of your house so they can create a kitchen that works and is not dated. I would suggest if someone can find it, reading through the kitchen thread that explains good design and good kitchen practices. Especially the Ice, Water, Stone, Fire thread....See More- 8 years ago
