Using a standard flat track hanging system usually associated with barn and shed doors, with elegant old doors is a great idea. Not only is it space saving, it also adds a unique mix of disparate elements. I think using a flat track system might be more forgiving then using hinges, especially in old houses where nothing is plumb anymore.

barnyardhardware.com has a huge selection of over-the door-track systems, and a great photo round up and a video tutorial to show you how it's done. Check it out.
Has anyone out there installed a system like this? Can you tell us if it's easy or hard?

My friend used this to hang the doors on her Conservatory. Everything was old and repurposed.

I thoroughly loved looking at your blog today. My favorites-the French Doors-just lovely. Second thing-that wonderful patio table. Two things I will be trying out. They are exactly what I was looking for to change the look in my home. Thank you so much for sharing. Blessings.
