Adding Pulls to the Barn Doors

A big thanks to National Hardware for supplying hardware for this project. As always, opinions are 100% honest and my own.

Maybe this isn’t the most dramatic before and after room reveal post ever.  Okay, really it’s not even a semi-crafty mason jar project.

But this one has epic proportions because it’s the final finishing touch of our master bedroom makeover that’s taken us exactly 10 months and 13 days to complete.

Robert and I are normally a get-things-done-ASAP couple when it comes to the room makeovers.  We hate dragging them out.  But this one was worth the wait.

Since I shared our last big project in here installing our sliding barn doors, some of y’all asked how we would open and close them without having any pulls.  It was part of the plan but it was one of those details that I couldn’t make up my mind about.

But I finally got around to picking out the stainless steel pulls and attaching them to our hollow core doors.

I used these stainless steel round pulls and just followed the instructions on the back of the package to install them.  Except, since our doors aren’t solid wood, I had to use anchors too.

Because it would completely be my luck that I’d pull the handle on one of our new doors and rip the thing completely out.  I’m graceful like that.

I managed to do this last step while Robert was at work.  Easy peasy stuff.

And ta da! I don’t have to worry about us rubbing the crackly chippy finish off of our doors now since we have the handles.

One of the doors is to our master bathroom, so I used this hook lock too.  Since ya know… 3 year-olds will just throw any door wide open no matter what business you’re doing.

(Do toddlers have a radar to tell them when you’re hiding from them in the bathroom? Those little fingers under the door always find me.)

Mission: Sliding Barn Door is officially complete!

Since we’ve been test driving these doors for a couple of weeks now, I can say I don’t miss the old swinging doors one little bit.  Not having anymore collisions with our shower door is pretty nice.
