Swapping a bulky swinging door for a modern frosted glass barn door to bring in more light, save space, and elevate the look of the home.

Project Overview
Out With the Old, In With the Barn Door
This homeowner was ready to move on from a standard swinging door separating the laundry area from the main living space. The existing setup felt bulky, blocked light, and didn’t match the updated look of the home.
They were looking for something that would add more character and visual interest, allow light to pass between rooms, and improve functionality in a tighter space. We handled this as a full door conversion — not just a swap.
Our Work
Scope Of Work
1. Full Door and Frame Removal
We removed the existing door along with the entire jamb and casing to start fresh. This gave us a clean slate and avoided trying to work around outdated trim.
2. New Trim & Casing Installation
We installed new 1×6 jamb material along with updated casing to properly frame the opening for the barn door application. Everything was fitted, prepped, and painted for a clean, finished look.
3. Barn Door Assembly & Installation
The client selected a modern frosted glass panel barn door with black hardware. We assembled the door system, installed and secured the track, hung and adjusted the door for smooth operation, and installed floor guides to keep everything aligned.
The finished result — modern, functional, and full of character.
The Result
A Space That Feels More Open, Intentional & Upgraded
Natural Light Flows Through
The frosted glass allows natural light to pass between rooms while still maintaining privacy for the laundry area.
No More Swing Radius
The sliding barn door system eliminates the swing radius of the old door — perfect for tighter layouts.
Modern Contrast
The matte black hardware against the white door and gray walls adds a clean, contemporary contrast to the space.
Upgraded Feel
Overall, the space feels more open, intentional, and elevated — a small change that made a big visual impact.
