I have a very small hall bath & the door opens into the bathroom, taking up even more space, so I wanted to replace it with a sliding door. I bought an arched mirror on clearance and mounted it to MDF, framed it out and added trim and molding on sides for privacy.
I purchased the MDF from Home Depot and they cut all the pieces to size for me. I bought the barn door hardware on Amazon. I am pretty handy, but installing the hardware was challenging. It may have been just the one I bought because I had to make modifications. Look for one with easy installation.
Here's the mirror from Kirklands.
I mounted it on MDF 9” wider and 11” higher than the mirror. I painted the top of the MDF board prior to assembly for easier painting after.
I had the MDF cut to size to frame out the mirror.
Here's the installed and completed door!
Here's a view of it closed.
View from down the hall.
View half open.
To cover where the hinges and door latches enter the door jamb, I just covered each side with toe kick and caulked around the edges.

How I wish I had a door that I could have a barn door on. Not a single door has the space for the track. ☹️

You can install a mirror on any door

Like your door! Only thing I would do differently is paint the black tracking & hanging metal work to assimilate it into the wall/door- but that is only because I am just not into the farm house look…. You did a beautiful job !!!!!
Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
Confused. Why can’t this be Debbie inspired instead of Joanna Gains inspired? Why is Joanna Gains considered a benchmark and Debbie isn’t? Tv has robbed many of us the power of our own imagination. Stand up take ownership of your lovely door and all your creations? I refuse to watch tv decorator’s shows because I stifled my own creativity
Love this idea! My question is are you able to lock the door on the inside?
How do you lock the door ? And barn doors are notorious for allowing bad smells and noise out of bathrooms plus you can see inside on the sides of the doors cuz they’re not really flush to the walls….
