Barn doors, mattresses OH MY- We were meant to be born in a barn!

Have you noticed lately how many barn doors you are seeing?  Maybe it is just us, but we are loving the door! The doors that Martin Lawrence Bullard used in the Osbournes home are amazing. They look more like a piece of art than a door.





Cote De Texas
In this kitchen the designer uses the doors to cover up a pantry.






Kelly from Polished Pebbles blog  found these old doors and turned them into the barn door look. She gives some helpful hints on what kind of hinges work best.





Designer Sherry Hart  used barn doors behind a crib in this babies room.. So creative.






Over at Nucheys mommy Blog, she creatively shows you how to do this yourself.








We have also been noticing the mattress sofa look?   OK, so not so much of a barn!. Designed by S.R. Gambrel






Here designer S.R.Gambrel used it to create more of a retro look.  We remember the coffee table from the 70's.





   The sofa has a nice style to it. We are loving the colors .
Designed by Barbara Heath



 
This is from the DC show house designed by Laureen Liess from Pure style design blog.  So what do you think about these creative styles?

    Barn doors provide a rustic authenticity and are guaranteed conversation pieces. I'm still on the fence with the mattress inspired sofa cushions. It's definitely an interesting style, and one that we're likely to see used more often as the design concept evolves.
    Great post, ladies!

    Martin's barn doors are definitely a work of art. That's taking barn doors to a new level!

    Love the barn door look for inside. We're getting ready to renovate our upstairs bath and are trying to figure out how to get them to fit in to hide the laundry room. I also love the mattress look and thinking about having a mattress made for a bench in our dining room out of linen. Love both of these looks for our antique home.

    OMG this is my favorite post of all time! Every photo was more amazing than the one before, and by the last one I was swooning and scheming about how I could get one of those daybeds!

    Barn doors are a true love of mine! My son recently installed these in a "man cave" to hide the flat screen tv! Wouldn't that be wonderful!
    thanks for sharing such wonderful photos!

    I am a HUGE fan of barn doors - hoping to have one as the door to my pantry eventually in my dream kitchen. :) I am not a fan of the mattresses though...
