A year after I finished my kitchen reno, I realized that my island top was too small. I bit the bullet and replaced it with a larger one, made of the same quartz. I made a kitchen table out of maple that matched my cabinets, topped with the too-small island top. (See pic.) The adjacent family room is separated from the kitchen by a half-wall. There's a lot of oak (floor, wainscoting, fireplace), large multi-colored rug, glass-topped wrought iron coffee table, green leather couch, 2 old nightstands that serve as speaker tables. Overall, it's dark, but it is relatively compatible with the mission style kitchen cabinets. (pic)

I love the new kitchen table so much that I've decided to build a new coffee table in the same style, but with a wood top (all unstained maple). Here's where I worry about the too-matchy-matchy thing: I'd also like to make little tables for the stereo speakers. If I use unstained maple, I'm worried it will look like I'd bought a furniture "package". I don't want more oak in the room. Bringing in yet another species of wood doesn't make sense to me since the style (akin to Stickley's Harvey Ellis line) is going to be the same, I think it might look like I was trying TOO hard to be eclectic.

I'd really appreciate opinions: pro, con or alternative suggestions (possibly to include topping the speaker stands with something other than wood). Thanks.
