1. Black Bypass Barndoors

Of course I will start with my own barndoors! My black bypass barndoors separate my office from the foyer and provide some workspace privacy that I need with 3 wild children running around while momma is working from home. 

For months we were trying to determine how to cover the door opening so that I could easily record my podcast and record coaching classes, but there wasn’t room for a huge barndoor. Then we learned about BYPASS doors (they stack on top of each other when they are slid open) and this was the ticket! Genius!

Also, I am just obsessed with black everything right now and even painted my dining room ceiling black, which you can see here.
