My wife has asked me to build her a haberdasher. Okay, I can do that. She wants to put it in our kitchen, which has a wooden floor - oak. She wants the haberdasher to also be oak. I think the piece would look much richer/nicer in mahogany or cherry. She wants oak to match the floor. Questions: If it piece is oak, will it "disappear" into the room because of the same species of wood in the floor and the piece? How would a cherry or mahogany piece look sitting on an oak floor?
I am not a big fan of oak for furniture, but oak is what our floors are, so I have to work with it.
Thanks.
