Located in Anaheim, California, the Founders' Park is a beautiful, 20-acre historical site surrounded by nature.

We had the chance to craft beautiful carriage doors, front doors, sliding doors, and all the hardware, including our Box Rail Sliding Hardware and our Hand-forged handles.

When shopping for barn doors online, a general question is: how do I indicate the placement side for my barn door handle? If this information is not communicated clearly, you might end up with your door handles and door carved on the wrong side.

The Bohemian, also known as Boho interior design style, is becoming increasingly popular among homeowners and designers, and it is very easy to see why.

One of the best parts about sliding doors is that there are several operation options to choose from. Each type of sliding door system has its unique advantages and use cases. Learn the difference between standard, bi-part, bypass, pocket, and wall mounted and discover which sliding door operation is the best option for your space.

Sliding barn doors are ideal for tight spaces. Swinging doors need room to open. As a result, they may block walkways or damage walls when in small spaces. Barn doors, on the other hand, require far less floor space, as they rest flat up against the wall. For their space-saving quality, sliding barn doors are a great option for smaller apartments or homes.
