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.

Impressive. So different than the normal clunky look of barn doors. Great solution and very well executed. Thanks for sharing.
Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
Will you post pictures from inside with door closed?
Love the door! Where can I find the picture over the toilet?
I wonder if you can get hardware at Tractor Supply? They have tracks and hardware for stall doors, not as heavy and clunky. Probably have to paint it though.
