The Hallway in Progress..............

As you all have seen in past posts, El built a closet in the hallway, taking a small corner of the family room, which we access from the hallway.  We then used the laundry room door for the tack room in the barn so we built a "barn door" for the house (to hide the mess and non-painted laundry room).

  The opening on the left is the laundry room and the unfinished opening is the new closet.

Again, the door on the right is the new closet and the barn door hides the laundry room.

The barn door was distressed during the "family beating" (of the door, not the kids) and a good time was had by all!  Maybe it was wrong to give Brennan the heaviest hammer...............  We stained it black then put a walnut stain over top to "warm it up".  2 coats of sand sealer then 2 coats of poly.  The door hangars are from Ebay, the rail is from the farm store, the handle is from Hobby Lobby and the corner braces are from Home Depot.  All hardware except the handle was painted black.
