I tend to like a contrast too... but you can REALLY do anything with that type of wood!

Question: Is this your FOREVER home? If it is, something you might want to think about... a bold countertop color - like a brick red, orange, green, something like that! I'm not saying DO IT - I'm just saying if you're going to stay in your house - you can get MUCH more creative with what you choose!

Okay - now if you're NOT forever going to live here... you do need to be a little more neutral. In that case, I also tend to go with the darker one. I like that it has some of the brown tones - but it also has the cool grey in it. That will make it go with the wood - and with silver or nickel or bronze hardware - whatever you choose. And depending on the paint you pick... you can do just all SORTS of things!

I can't wait to see! I LOVE looking at everyone's ideas... it gives me more thoughts myself (which hubby hates!)

I will defiantly post pictures of the remodeling stage and after....we are STILL waiting for warm weather to rip it apart. Last 2 nights it was down in the 20's at night....so a little cold to have the walls ripped out.

This isn't our forever house. It is too small and that is why we want to fix it up. We want move into a bigger house. My goal is to make it sellable and really put money into a larger home later. I love watching Designed to sell where they use $2000 and really fix it up(usually cosmetic) but it always alot of value to the house.
