MY NEW HOBBY

Is going to be scouring the country tri-state area in search of one of these....

Maple Leaves Sycamore Trees

for this big blank wall....

You may recall from this post, way back when, 

my desire to add a sliding barn door to separate our kitchen/dining room from our family room.  

Turns out the older kids get, the louder they get.  

I thought crying babies were loud, but that's nothing 

compared to a five year old and and seven year old playing rumble fumble. 

The barn door shown above is just a minor detail in this amazing renovation project. 

You can check out the fabulous Maple Leaves and Sycamore Trees blog here to see more. 

The door was originally a pocket door in a 100+ year old house.  What a find!  

I saw it on Pinterest today and now I'm back on the barn door bandwagon. 

I fell off the wagon briefly when I thought about adding a built in banquette here instead. 

After doing some more measuring and number crunching, we decided to let go of that idea.

So if you are out and about and happen to come across a giant old pocket door, please let me know.

In the meantime, have yourself a great weekend. I definitely plan to.
