My recent obsession is finding a sliding barn door for our house. We have a large opening from our dining room to a sun-room that would be perfect for a barn door. I love all the light that streams in from the sun-room, but having the option to close it off would also be nice. There are so many amazing options online, but I'm not sure which direction to go! The biggest debate is white vs. wood. The doors and trim in our house are white, so choosing a white door would tie in nicely and perhaps be more timeless down the road if we changed out a lot of our furniture. Here are some white doors I found online that are in consideration.

The panels of glass would still allow for some light to flow when the doors are closed. |

This look is a little bit more rustic. |

I love the double sliding door, but I don't think this will work
with the wall space we have on either side of the opening. |
We have some rustic or natural elements in our house. Our dining room table is made from reclaimed wood, so going with a wood door might also tie in nicely. I just wonder if it would be a little too rustic.

This is basically the wood equivalent of the first white door above.
Again, I like the idea of the light still passing through. |
 |
This is the door that I keep coming back to. I think this might be my favorite. |

This one is Ashley's favorite. He's more set on the idea of having glass to allow light.
I love this door and think it's beautiful, but I' m not sure if it's too much glass. |

I like this door and the size is great since our opening is large, but it might be too rustic. |
While these are all great options our biggest issue isn't indecision on the white vs. wood issue, it's that we can't find anywhere local in Orlando that sells barn doors. We've only been able to find doors online that you'd have to install yourself and pay a fortune to have shipped. If anyone knows of a good place to look, please let me know. Feel free to hit the comments and let me know which door is your favorite. For now, I'll just keep pinning doors and hoping this can be our next house project!
First, love the blog makeover! It looks awesome. And I like the white sliding doors. I think they're beautiful. And as you said, more timeless. I don't know where you can find them locally but I'll keep my eyes out for you.
