This was our bathroom door. Just a normal bathroom door. Problem with this door was that it opened into the bathroom but would just miss hitting the front of the toilet. It just was awkward. |
Terry got the door rollers from Home Depot and hung that above the door opening. Then he attached the two french doors from the kitchen onto the rollers. |
Now we have these rolling hung doors that will open and shut easily and still leaves space between the wall and vanity. We have easy access to my hand towels and lights. |
Easy fix and now we do not have a door that opens into the room and blocks the toilet. He still has a few things to do to these doors like put in a hidden latch to be able to latch and lock the doors if desired. Happy to use these decorative french style doors from the kitchen in this bathroom. This way we did not have to spend a lot of money for new doors. Just the cost of the rollers which were not expensive from Home Depot. I am going to look for handles that are silver like the rest of the bathroom fixtures. Taking pictures in a bathroom is hard. With no natural light I had to put on all the lights and practically stand on the toilet and in the shower to get these pictures lol! Hope all is well with you. Still have a few issues with my kidney stones but getting better. I don't know what happened but when I turned 60 a few years ago it seems I am having weird things happen to my body!!!!! Have a great rest of the week and weekend. Hugs, Kris Parties: Life with Linda Love your Creativity Party Inspire Me Tuesday Create, Bake, Grow and Gather |
Terry is a genius! Those doors look so luxurious, as does the whole bathroom. Not happy to hear things went downhill for you once you hit 60. That'll be me next year! Barely holding it together now! 😬 Happy Thursday, Kris!
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever solution....love it!!

Doesn't the one door roll over the light switch and towel rack? They look great!
ReplyDeleteNope it rolls away from the lights and towels. The wall is indented there and the place where the rollers are is back a couple of inches so there is a few inches between the door and wall where the lights are and towel. Hope that makes sense. xoxo Kris
DeleteTerry is awesome. I love it, they're gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteSaves so much room.
Yall are way too clever..wow..I think it looks awesome with your wallpaper and all that I see in the photo, also. Sliding door are very popular now. It looks great..Love your new Home..Have a great weekend beginning tomorrow. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great fix! I was wondering about a lock.
ReplyDeleteThat is amazing!! You guys and thinking outside the box and then being able to implement it too, is incredible.
ReplyDeleteThat Terry deserves a gold medal! And you do too for all of the ingenious ideas you come up with. I was beginning to worry since you hadn't posted in several days. Was hoping it wasn't those onery stones. Wish they would just pass away. Get it - pass away! LOL
ReplyDeleteGreat solution! and what a great guy you have there. Have a happy weekend Kris! xoxoxox
ReplyDeletePretty and Practical. Win-Win! Feel better.

ReplyDeleteAmazing job, Terry! Both of you have made some wonderful changes to your home. Now if Terry could take care of your kidney stone... Enjoy your weekend. xoxo
ReplyDeleteHi Kris! What a great idea and a beautiful fix! Jane
ReplyDeleteNot just practical, but looks updated and pretty, too. Hope you're feeling better, Kris!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic solution for the bathroom door and they look so luxurious too! Boy do I hear you about things changing after the body clock switches to 60 (as I hum Cher's song "if I could turn back time". LOL
ReplyDeleteI love the new doors it looks fantastic. You have a knack for throwing things together so nicely and Terry is a keeper. Hope the kidney stone settle down for you think of you always
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! What I would give to have a Terry. (Not marry one, just know one). He's so clever. The doors look fantastic, Kris! Great upcycling idea.
ReplyDeleteBrenda
I love the way the bathroom door looks Kris. Terry did a great job and you are so lucky to have a handy husband. I hope everything gets resolved with the kidney stones and that you are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteHi Kris - what a brilliant idea. I just love that and not expensive to do either. I'm pleased to hear that your kidney stones are behaving better for the time being. Hugs to you both, Gilly
ReplyDeleteTerry is the DIY god! What a great idea and it looks great!
ReplyDeleteTerry is the DIY God! Great idea!
ReplyDeleteSuch an amazing idea. To use the french doors you already have. Love this idea. You and Terry are such pros at this. Happy weekend Kris. xoxo
ReplyDeleteLooks Great.
ReplyDeleteSame thing happened to me woke up at 60 and now the last 5 years have been crazy.
Autoimmune Disease PMR is ruining my quality of life and my Creativity.😩
You guys are amazing! I never know what kind of crafty fixes I'm going to find when I come here, but there's always something to inspire. I love the doors, so smart and very modern, but charming! Also, where did you get that hand towel rack. I love it!! xxoo
ReplyDeleteHow cool! I love this. You and Terry really are a great pair. So neat that you were able to repurpose doors you already have, and the way you put it all together as rolling doors is fantastic. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteWow hooray for Terry’s ingenuity! They are quite perfect! I know what you mean about getting into the 60’s! More aches and health issues!
ReplyDeleteLooks great Kris! I turned 60 in April, I hear ya on the issues! My memory is very bad, I hope it was the covid I had causing it. I heard it takes a year to get over the brain fog!
ReplyDeleteI so love this fix! And Terry's great:)When we had a small remodel done in our master bathroom I had them install pocket doors between the toilet and the rest of the bathroom and it worked out great. So glad you solved the problem! xo Kathleen
ReplyDeleteWhat a brilliant idea! Plus, they fit perfectly and don't open so close to your toilet. Your bathroom is super cute! And in my opinion if you have to choose a room without a window, I'd always pick a bathroom!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend,
RJ
Hi Kris,
ReplyDeleteOh My what a lovely fix.......I just love it, and it really is such a great idea. So great that you already had the doors too. Just love when you can move things around to create a new look, and also a much needed fix. That is so neat they fit perfectly in that space. You guys are just so amazing. I know you must be loving it too, to have that door out of the way....cause that sort of thing can be so annoying and intrusive. Thanks for coming by today and for your kind comments. Always love hearing from you and hope you and Terry have a lovely weekend.
Blessings, Nellie
Oh, forgot to say hope you get over your kidney stone situation very soon. Putting you on our prayer list right now.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Nellie
Ok that is just amazing! I would not have even thought of that!!! YOU go Terry!
ReplyDeleteBoy that was an easy fix. Never understood why bathroom doors opened to inside instead of outside. Hope your kidney stones are soon a thing of the past. I had them too and found out mine were caused by a Parathyroid adenoma. Until then we were under the impression that kidney did not even work, found out 9 percent, just enough to get oodles of stones, LOL. But hopefully they will figure out how to keep them at bay soon.
ReplyDeleteI need one for a long time in my shower room
ReplyDeleteBut i have no Terry at home… and I ´m’a still waiting!
What an lovely idea! Great!
ReplyDeleteSo much inspiration on your blog, love it!
Titti
Another fabulous idea! Praying you feel better soon my friend.
ReplyDeleteLove, Carla
What a smart fix to that tight squeeze, Kris! I like the doors too, so that's great that you could what you already had! Looks great.
ReplyDeleteExcellent solution, and so pretty! Loving this transformation you are doing with your new home. Hugs, Sandi
ReplyDeleteVery nice Kris. I tell ya girl...that Terry is a keeper. I need him around my place for a few days! Hugs and blessings to you sweet lady. Cindy
ReplyDeleteThat's great! He solved a very awkward problem!!! xoxo Su
ReplyDeleteKris, what a great idea for reusing those doors. That is the problem with a lot of small bathrooms is the placement of the door. It looks so pretty. The whole bath is beautiful with that pretty wallpaper..Happy Summer..xxoJudy
ReplyDeleteHi Kris! Hope you're doing better! Your door fix is not only brilliant, but great looking. Amazing!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic solution Kris and I actually prefer the look of the French doors.
ReplyDeleteWell done to Terry!
