I tackled one of my biggest pet peeves in our new home in this video--the laundry room door.

Our existing pivot door opened in both directions, but neither one of them were convenient. And while it wasn't THAT big of a deal, it was a source of daily irritation, so I finally had enough and decided to replace this poorly designed laundry room entrance with a more practical (and pretty) solution--a MODERN DIY SLIDING DOOR!

Join me as I build and install this modern sliding door with frosted glass panels in this video and head over to grab the plans and more details on the project here:
