Hello, there is a kitchen posting with images of a sliding door in a beautiful kitchen installation. There is a picture of the door closed and one with it open. Check it out.

And here's one between bedroom and bath:

We put them in our jack & jill bathroom because wall space was at a premium. They're very easy to put in and work fine. We added some wood trim work around the upper hardware to make it look less industrial.

I'm a fan of pocket doors, and would love to have wall space for a lovely "barn door" style outside mount in one spot, but in my little house, it's just not possible. Go for it. The Johnson hardware for my pocket doors has performed flawlessly for almost 10 years. Not once have I had it go off the track or have any issues; I'm sure their outside mount is of similar quality.

I had the same problem - the wall I wanted to install the Johnson pocket doors contained pipes and vents. No can do. Instead, I first wall mounted them, then built a new 2X4 wall to hide them. At the doors, the drywall mounted to the sides of the pocket door assembly. Yes, the wall is unusually thick and I lose a little of the room, but no one has noticed, I have beautiful French pocket doors and I avoided the barn door look. In my opinion, using the barn door concept just looks like nothing better could be done but to slap it on the wall. But there is nothing wrong with it if that is what you like and it is much less bother than building a new wall, mudding, sanding, painting, trim, etc.

Thanks all for tips and pics. I especially liked seeing the sliding door in the remodel of the bathroom. I'm not going for the barn door look but it looks great for them. More of a concern is how to install a privacy lock of some sort with a wall mount. Once again Johnson Hardware for pocket doors has great reviews.
