Enjoy mild spring days with sliding screen doors that stay out of the way when not in use.
Our forsythia is blooming — an official sign that spring is just around the corner. I even opened a sunroom window this week so the cats could get some fresh air. How nice it be to open our French doors allowing in the soft breeze without letting our cats escape. A pair of sliding screen doors would be perfect. Although this pair is not in the same frame as exterior sliding barn doors, the principle is the same. These doors move laterally and can disappear against the walls when not in service. For these doors, the black wrought iron barn door style hardware is hidden by trim for a clean look. Interior barn door hardware is often exposed and part of the design. I like how the separation of the screens and exterior doors create an intimate feel. This definitely is an idea I’ll be tucking away for the future.
