Barn door in the Kitchen? Um. Why?

Why would you put a barn door in the kitchen? Good question! The idea is that the swinging of the door takes up a lot of space. By having the door slide, it does not get in the way. When we explained the idea to Garrett, his response was: "No, that is not going to look good." Hopefully we can change his mind!
