I feel like barn doors only really work on like a room that you wouldn't really actually close the doors much, more just for the look. Not only because they'd be a pain, but I feel like you'd still be able to see in the sides? Maybe not though, I've never seen one in person.

My pocket doors aren’t fancy like that. They are just like my regular doors but inside the wall.

I need to decorate my house. It's been 3 years. We have almost no decorations anywhere. I also want a bed. We have always just had a mattress/box spring on a frame. Once I find a place for Conner to sleep that's not our room, I think I will splurge on our master.

Seems like a good space saving thing in a small room. Like powder room, laundry, entry closet. We have 3: between laundry and kitchen, master bath and master closet. In retrospect I wish I would have done a regular door on the master closet because it makes it difficult to hang things on that wall.

No to barn doors and yes to pocket doors! Also shiplap looks nice sometimes but it reminds me of wood paneling from the 70’s but horizontal instead of vertical. I imagine it’ll make people cringe in 20 years.
Now i looked on Zillow and apparently there are mostly foreclosures in my town. Can’t be good. Also, you can’t buy an 1,000 sq ft dump for less than 300K. I’m being generous, probably more like 350k.

Downstairs half bath, in between the kitchen and dining room and then master bath. Ours are also not pretty and fancy like the ones Nam posted!

I always shudder at the prices in area like that! 300K will get you a decent 4 bedroom 2,000-2,500 sq ft house in my area. It probably will be updating, but won't be a dump.

Good morning! You guys are chatty today! I like shiplap as a small accent area, and I like the barn doors. We’re actually thinking of doing One in our master because there is no door between the master bath and bed. (Toilet room has a door, but actual bath and vanity is open).
I had a dr app this morning. Baby looks good and I’m about 2-3 centimeters dialated. I know that doesn’t really mean anything, but it makes me happy that all these contractions I’ve been having are actually doing something!

I need to move to another area. You can get a 1bdrm condo for 300k around here. SFH in the school districts we prefer are minimum 500k, but that's for a 1000 rambler that would be gutted. Most in immediate area that are under a million are in need of updates 😣. We are considering me changing jobs and moving to another city where MH works, quality of life and shorter commutes is weighing on us. If we move where we can afford, we both will have long commutes and never be home. But I love our Pre-K and cannot imagine leaving there voluntarily.

We have a barn door in b/n our laundry room and kitchen. It is...not my favorite. Would not put one up in my own home.
Yes to pocket doors; we have two in this house.
I think shiplap can look cool but IMO it will likely end up being the wood paneling of our generation...everyone will be ripping it out in a decade b/c it feels dated. Give me classic wainscoting or judge's paneling/board and batten.
Just my random thoughts based on the last few comments I skimmed 😉

Also, hi! I was out all morning with C hunting for snow boots for B, as we are expecting 5-8" today/overnight. Schools have already been canceled tomorrow. I went to EIGHT different stores but finally found literally the last pair of snow boots in town, in B's exact size, and they were a nice royal blue color! #momwin He is so excited for the snow.

Strep test came back positive. 5 days of antibiotics and I should be good as new.

Guise, my friend had her daughter this morning. This is the one who adopted right before Chase was born and very unexpectedly got pregnant a few months after updating her diet to manage her newly diagnosed celiac's. I am having all the feels about this right now.

We have pocket doors (same concept but on the inside of the wall) and at night I’ve walked into the one that goes into our bathroom. Super annoying. We have pocket doors here at the office. The house is 100+ years old. It's a cool space saving design, that I would prefer over the barn doors any day. We're using them for our addition.

Hate shiplap. Not a fan of Chip and Joanna Gaines either. Something's off about them....
Love pocket doors- Colonial or Victorian style ones

We are expecting a huge snowstorm and have already closed work for tomorrow and at least a 2 hour delay Friday. I am sure school will be closed Thursday but hoping they aren't on Friday. Either way I am working hard to clear my inbox today.

We're using them for our addition. How is the addition coming along? What rooms are you adding? a couple bedrooms? We are starting later this month. We're going to enclose our loft and make that a playroom, then build out the space over the living room and make that a small bedroom for P. So it's not too bad: adding a wall, door, and room, basically.
