My DW is quite good at this, but I thought I'd run this design scenario by the GW kitchen community.

We have custom flat panel cabinets being made, with a bead on the inner and outer edge. With help from people here, we settled on BM Acadia White. The island will be stained/washed in blue. Soapstone counters, grey minas from Brazil, with some pronounced veining. Appliances are stainless. Rohl Shaws 30" farmers sink, and Rohl bridge faucet. DW wants "school house" light over the sink and pendants over the island if we can find them.

Now the nitty gritty details. Knobs and pulls and the floor. We're looking at glass knobs, which will allow us to go with the chrome faucet ($260 less than nickel). But I can't see examples of glass knobs on off-white cabinets anywhere. Everyone seems to use rubbed bronze. I'm afraid the rubbed bronze faucet will look wrong against my soapstone, with the brown/grey clashing. Planning on cup style pulls, but don't want chrome. Can I mix nickel with glass pulls and a chrome faucet?

The floor will be hardwood, but we're looking for a reddish brown, almost like Santos Mahogany. In fact, I'm considering just putting down Mahogany rather than oak. That would seem to limit any future color change though. We're already mixing HWs on the main floor. Maple in family room, and red oak natural in entry foyer, living and dining rooms.

Is the Mahogany, either as wood or stain on oak, likely to clash in a kitchen with the elements described above? We do not want an overly light floor, or a "brown" walnut color.
