If you are searching for saloon doors or cafe doors, it's quite possible because you are doing some redesigning in your house. Maybe you are re-decorating your kitchen area in order to give it a Western or cafe feel. Perhaps you are creating a nice area in your basement. Regardless of why, you'll want to take some time to look around our site to choose the right type and size doors you require for the work. Often, these kinds of doors are on sale or even have free postage!
I like granite, but it’s too traditional for me. Also, I know that a lot of people don’t consider it an upgrade anymore because it has become so popular. I want to put equity into my home and I’m not sure that in 5 yrs when I want to sell it, that granite will be as profitable then as it is now. I did here that silestone was becoming a new alternative, but I was also thinking about stained concrete countertops or butcher block. My cabinets are white and a few have glass in the doors. This will be a DIY project so any tips would be appreciated. Also, what color do you think would work best with the cabinets (paint and countertops)?
I plan on doing a neutral back splash like this or something like this, preferably the long tiles that look like stone bricks: http://www.burkesfloorcovering.com/backsplash.JPG
The floor will be a dark handscraped hardwood like this: http://img.diytrade.com/cdimg/698642/6443148/0/1216715155/Color_Wood_Dark_Brown_-Hand_Scraped_Style.jpg
or brick pavers for flooring like this:

I have also thought about doing a butcher block countertop like this, and I think it will look great with the hardwood floor:

here is a pic of the kitchen we are remodeling, none of this is my personal style, this is from when the previous owners had it:

As you can see, it is small. We plan on putting in stainless steel appliances, and getting rid of the saloon doors. My personal style is more like Anthropologie or french country or shabby chic, i love vintage stuff.
I know this is a lot of information, but I would love any input!! Especially pictures
