Pocket Door?

What do ya’ll think of this door?

We’ve got a pocket door that goes in the kitchen (leads to the pantry), and I had envisioned something with frosted or ribbed glass. This has the best of both worlds! It may come out of our pockets, though, since we didn’t spec it with the contractor from the get go. Hm.

This is the stage, it seems, where the details become important. What color this, what size that? Which way does the wood grain go, and what kind of ceiling fan? I can see how this stage slows the whole thing down for a lot of people.

Thank goodness David and I have a freakishly similar sense of style and have (knock on wood) thus far pretty much seen eye-to-eye on almost everything.

I like the door. I vote for a purging of the pockets towards door.

What a great blog to chart this amazing project! Can’t believe I hadn’t visited it before! I’ll be back.

Love the door!
Where’s it from? We’re building in RGV and will have a pantry with that style door, but I’m not fond of the one that the builder generally uses. He’s says there are other styles; it would be great to see them even before it comes up on our TO DO and TO CHOOSE list.

They have it at our local Lowes and the BMC across the street. Hopefully we’ll have photos of this one in place in a few weeks!

Outstanding — we’ve a Lowes not far from here. Thanks. I’ll have to take a look this weekend.
