I am undertaking a big renovation and one of the projects is a complete redo of my kitchen. I am determined to install a softer floor than I have now, which is slate. I own a bungalow and plan to keep that aesthetic (sort of). I would do wood but I have wood floors (oak - this is a 1924 bungalow) throughout and really think I want cherry cabinets - would wood floors be too much wood?

I just can't decide if I have to give up either the wood floors or the wood cabinets. My kitchen is galley shaped although relatively long and I plan on soapstone or a black matte granite or even Aqua Grantique (a dark granite gneiss that looks like soapstone) counters. Thanks for your thoughts.
