Barn style doors (stage 2)

The barn style doors are coming along! They have been sanded, primed & painted white (BM decorators white) I haven’t decided if they will stay white or maybe a light gray color?

The room is a bit dark so I’m thinking a light color. Anyway, my new dilemma is what to hang them with! I originally wanted the “flat style” roller barn door hardware like this:

HOWEVER…….
When they gave me the quote of almost $900!!! I almost fell over!

Have they lost their mind!? So looks like I need to go to plan B….unless of course, one of you fabulous ladies has an idea for me to make these! I am off to Lowes to see if perhaps I can get a traditional barn hanging roller kit (they are kinda ugly but maybe I can spray them?) and add a few decorative elements to make it look like the $900 version!

Seriously, people spend that much money to hang their doors! ?? 

I plan on hanging them on the bookcase (the middle portion) to hide coats ….I don’t have a convenient coat closet & the kitchen chair is getting tired of being buried with coats!

I love the Pottery Barn locker style cabinets but to the tune of $1500….this, I think was a better option
