Airstream Sliding Bathroom Door

Our 28″ Argosy Airstream came to us without a bathroom door (and missing a wall but that is another story). We have gone through three different types of doors and finally settling on the third revision: A Sliding Bathroom Faux Stained Glass Door.

Our first attempt at a sliding bathroom was a plain 28″ standard door that we cut down and painted. It was ok but kind of too plain.

Our second attempt, we went towards a Barn Door “Look” that worked for a couple of years but was clunky. I loved the pop of color and green worked well with our Bedroom Headboards.

But… Hallway space is at a premium and the green door looked kind of stupid (i.e. made for home, not for trailer). We are slowly changing the decor to Craftsman/Mission style so for our third attempt at a sliding bathroom door, we knew faux stained glass would be involved to let some light in through the bathroom.

We went with a faux stained glass window clings from Amazon and used spray adhesive to place it on a thin piece of plexiglass. Then, we made grooves into the frame we built for the plexiglass to slide into. We had leftover Countertop Paint in “Wheat” that we used for paint.
