I'll be a contrarian and suggest a light tan/sand color that matches the lighter colors in the granite soley because its a small room, and dark colors would make it seem smaller.

I had that thought as well. But I think it may look too washed out. The other thing to consider is small children. Farrah would be constantly cleaning fingerprints, etc. off light colored cabinets.

Well I didn't say white. Maybe its better for health reasons to see those fingerprints ;)

As I remember the bathroom in question, it seems like there is no window so lighter colors might brighten the room as oppose to darken it.

I'm no Hyrum, but I would suggest a dark cherry. I've seen that color scheme before with you granite top, travertine flooring and the cherry wood looked really nice.

We got our travertine for 1.99 /sqft. Did we get ripped off?

We're talking asthetics and all you can focus on is the price? I see your rpoblem, Farrah.

Go with dark. If you are staining wood, I would use Cherry or Mahogany. Get a couple of stains and try it on some small areas inside the cabinet or on test wood to see what looks best with tile, etc. This is a lot like music, in that colors have 'overtones' that make some go better than others, menaing nothing can compare to trying it out first.

I think that's a good price for Travertine. FYI, you now have higher end flooring in your house than I have in mine. We didn't want to spring for Travertine. ;)

but our bathroom is as big as your shower.

I recently took a shower at our friends' home ($1.7mill in plano). Their shower could have fit 10 people in it.

But there was only one showerhead.

there's a wide variety of quality in travertine, or so I was told when I bought it for more than that.

Farrah, don't go dark. Cherry, especially, IMHO, is starting to feel dated. What kind of wood is it? Pine? Maple? Something warm but light would be good. Look at a kitchen and bath design magazine at Home Depot or wherever.

I'm feeling particularly decorative today, as I have a new (and first) avatar.
