Recently completed a minor remodel on our kitchen.  I painted the cabinets a dark brown to contrast the white marble counters, and then painted the island base a light color and used a black walnut countertop to contrast.  I personally love the variations you can find in black walnut, so I chose pieces to bring that out.  Chamfered the profile to match the existing countertops and made some wine glass hangers to handle a set of 8 glasses.  Top was finished with walnut oil stain and 4 coats of Waterlox so it can hold up to regular kitchen use.  This was my first large-scale glue up.  I made a lot of mistakes and learned a ton!
