@User—I really love the counters. They are pretty bulletproof compared to what i have had before. I will say that the swirlier, cloudier Taj Mahal quartzite is harder to find than the more linear slabs that seem to be prevalent. My original slabs were the more linear ones. it turned out to become problematic with an L and island setup in terms of laying out the slabs. A fortunate turn of events occurred when the cabinet manufacturer made my island a few inches wider than they should have been. So i needed to choose new slabs and when i went back to the stoneyard, they had some of the cloudier ones. i grabbed them. Luckily, the stoneyard works closely with my fabricator, so they agreed to pick them up and swap them out. So bottom line is that if you want the cloudier slabs, you may need to be patient and look around at several yards.

Signature Hardware has a couple at 10 3/4" link link Here's one on My Knobs at 11" link Build.com 11" link Amazon 12 5/8" link if you search on "dummy knob tall back plate" (or backplate) you will probably find more ETA: Now I'm wondering if by "backplate" you mean something that goes behind the pull on the same side of the door like the ones above, or backplate on the opposite side of the door like this one? I've seen examples of both for barn doors.

I am moving into a house with an open concept floor plan. We plan to paint the walls, trim and ceiling Benjamin Moore Simply White, the front door and pantry barn door SW Tricorn Black. I want to paint all the other doors a very very light grey (Benjamin Moore Classic Gray). All the hardware will be black. We are going for a “modern mountain” look. This is our inspo pic, we are doing an almost identical fireplace with black granite, very similar coloured floors, the paint color in this photo is also Simply White. My question is - would you paint the doors classic grey? Or would you paint them to match the trim and the walls?

I would suggest you look at where the doors are located and think about whether it would add interest or if all white would work better. In an open concept most of the doors are likely in a hallway leading to bedrooms or closets. Maybe…you might even prefer them to be black!?!
