I think it really depends on the space. This kitchen is fairly large and I felt that wood might be quite overwhelming. If you look at the other kitchens on my site www.Mhouseinc.com I tend to go for woods as I like the texture the wood grains create - but those are also much smaller spaces.

DId you build the countertop in front of a longer window? (I am working with a window in a Chicago townhome, which unfortunately has its base panel at 30". Due to the fact that I can't change the exterior or the structure, and that the kitchen is already a small space, I still want to utilize that area, but think a 30" countertop would look strange. The kitchen is not big enough for an eat in bench space. Any ideas from anyone would be most appreciated! Thanks!)

This one was an 11ft slab with no seams. Hard to come by, but they're out there.

Becky Harris added this to Houzz Tour: Builder's Beige Gets a Makeover

In this image you can see how the display cabinets punctuate the room with light. Tip: When deciding on an island size, tape it off on the floor and experiment. "A great deal of time was spent debating the size and function of this island," Meisels says. "We taped off the floor several times, taking great care in measuring the distance from all of the appliances, walls, etcetera. I had the homeowner walk from imaginary fridge to stove to sink just to make sure the 11-foot-long island wouldn’t feel too overwhelming for her." The marble-topped island turned out just right. It has plenty of storage for garbage, recycling, food containers and cookbooks. It also contains a sink, dishwasher and microwave. Out of season kitchenware is stored on the stool side.
