You have heard the saying "necessity is the mother of invention". Have you ever wanted a beautiful sliding barn door and the only thing on the market is ho hum or your builder had to make one for $300 out of some pine boards on the jobsite? Still not very pretty? If you are like me, you searched the entire Internet and could not find any sliding barn door that had hand carving or was elegant.
Search no more. Swede Collection introduced at April High Point market its first three elegant barn doors. Nobody but Swede is making these. There are more designs in the works for October High Point market including a very interesting one you could call Bohemian with lots of details.
Want an elegant sliding door between the master bedroom and bath? How about one of these? Also incredible in a dining room.

This one is Silvermist blue with hand carving and Italian silver leaf.

And it is finished on the back side as well. Italian silver leaf on the trim. Lovely from both sides.

Have a white room and need an elegant white sliding door? Here she is. Hand carved a couple feet from the top down.

The back side is painted white also. Due to the depth of the door the carving can only be on one side.

How about the elegance of this one in Serious Gray with Italian gold leaf on both sides.

Back is the same as the front on this one.
Sizes??? These three are 8 foot 4 inches tall and 39 inches wide. They fit an 8 foot interior door that is either 32 or 36 inches wide.
Can't wait to show you the new ones being developed now. They also come in 88 inches high for either 7 foot interior doors or 6'-8" openings.
Pass the word. Pretty barn doors now exist. Webmaster is putting them up on swedefurniture.com this week.
