Sliding. Barn. Doors. I'm sick of them.

We are building a new home and don't have a one. I can understand their function on a floor plan that for some reason doesn't allow a pocket door but those situations are rare.

Agree 100%.

I do love pocket doors, though.

I saw a house in the Heights where they just took a standard IKEA sliding door kit and put it on the outside of the bathroom to make a "sliding barn door". Looked about how you would expect it to.

Grey. Make the grey go away.

We are about to build a house and will have them on the study entrance. Don't want to waste space with french doors, and the hubby isn't a fan of pocket doors. Our overall feel will be rustic though, so I think it will work.

I do agree with the need for the grey to go away. Seem like every new build is grey and white. Blah! I'll keep my tans and browns.

I love pocket doors too...but doing big ones, and doing them right is expensive. Currently having plans bid out and 2 BIG pockets that close off the kids side of the home... $5000.

gray and white is far superior in every way to tan and brown.

Maybe, if you spent twenty years in the navy and miss your battleship.

After having an entire house in nothing but tan and brown everywhere, I strongly disagree. Give me grays, creams, and whites all day.

I don't get it. I love the sliding doors on my barn. Swinging doors would be too large to manage.

For those that do not like the all white kitchens, can you help me understand your position? Is it a personal preference thing or do you think they are not functional/ that they are too trendy??? We are building a house and seriously considering a pretty white kitchen but with dark wood floors and a red brick backsplash. Wall paint will be one of the trendy "greige" colors with white cabinets and white countertops.

My old house had a small master bath. The door to it had the master bed door on the left when looking into it, so the bath door opened into the bathroom. Since the bathroom was already small, opening the door was a pain if someone else were in the bathroom, and if the door was full open, it would interfere with the linen closets doors that were on that side.

Our options when remodeling were no door, pocket door, or barn door. No door was not an option for my wife, and I hate pocket doors. Our final option was a barn door, which was easy enough to install and I thought it looked great. Best part was the functionality and how it helped open up the bathroom.

HGTV already had a show about that and it was terrible!

Don't worry about it. If I've learned anything from looking at more than 50 houses in the last several months in Texas it's that most people have awful taste in decorating. This forum is no exception. White kitchens look great. Gray is the best color. The above posters are still trying to coordinate their fuzzy toilet seat covers with their shower curtains.

Let's see. It looks clean, classic color, with a nice contrasting dark wood floor. I don't know sounds terrible.

An all white kitchen... but with dark floors, grey paint and red brick backsplash huh?

Here's a hint; that's not all white.

It isn't shiplap that needs to die. Its entire homes in shiplap and word signs. Please lord stop letting middle age women buy signs that say "Wine" "Love" "Happiness" "My Farmhouse" and hanging them up in the home. Gross.

I told my wife we should hang a sign above the bed that says **** and another by the crapper that reads **** . She was not amused.

Good idea. You could switch them every so often just to spice things up.

Here are mine,

1. Open floor plans.
2. Confusing traditionally private and public spaces. No one should entertain in the kitchen.
3. Filthy houses and blaming it on chidren.

We have white cabinets (wife's decision) - they get dirty pretty easily. I am not a fan.

Don't forget #4....leave the ****ing privy door OPEN when you depart (whew!).


Laughed at the "blaming children" comment, though. Spot on.
