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.
whoa, that is the most perverted avatar on this board.

These things shift over time. What is dated now will be the rage in 6 years and will be dated again after that. Go with what you like and what looks good with the tile.

You need to go darker...depends on how dark you are comfortable with. Cherrywood coloring is nice or you could go with a darker mahogany brown. Black would pop as well. If you go light, it will soon feel as if you have entered the celestial room. And yes, I agree with DDD, put up a picture of that room!

Wow, thanks for all the help, guys and gals. I am touched that DDD (almost) cleaned a bathroom so he could take a picture. I knew my metrosexual compadres would come through for me.

We are hopefully planning on moving in the near future, so I just want the bathroom to look nice, and sticking to neutral colors. There is a window, and we will hopefully add more light so the room won't look too dark.

I just finished staining the vanity with mahogany. I'll post the after pictures when it's done.

And just so you can see how awful it was beforehand...

That's a big loo. mikewaters made it sound like it was a shoebox.

Your new granite and travertine will look nice, I am sure.

Again, I vote for bright colors. Don't be afraid of color. One of our main rooms is painted a bright red.

Our living room and kitchen are blue.

Our bedroom is a mint green and brown.

Fun!

DDD, you would like the kitchen at the Padrino house. My wife wanted an apple theme, so the walls are green and red and the doors exiting the house from the kitchen area are yellow.

I'll take some photos and post them for you to see in the next few days.
