Hi Lin, Congrats on your remodel. How about a dark walnut hardwood flooring ? :)

Ed, thank you for your your reply. Which of these colors do you think would work with a natural cherry that starts out light and gets darker with time?

Are you looking to stain your current floor or refloor entirely? We have a chestnut stained oak (a medium brown) and cherry cabinets. It looks great with the new cherry, and samples show it will lo good when aged...it's a bit more of a traditional look I think. More modern would be darker even...

Hi Lin, could you post some photos of your countertop and cherry cabinets, and samples of your potential dark flooring ? The Houzz people here are very visual, and I'm sure there are many talented designers here who can help you choose, if you can provide some photos. :)

dark wood floors work best with darker cabinetry.

Ed, Here is a photo of the sample countertop and sample cherry cabinet wood. Still looking for ideas on the floor.

Are you staining or replacing?

We are replacing cabinets, re-staining hardwood.

zennifer- I'd love to see a photo of your cherry cabinets and chestnut floor.
