First off, with the smallish, condo space and modern range, I like the slab cabinets better than the shaker. It's sleeker and more modern. I think the recessed panels will make the space look a little cluttered and cramped in comparison. (But without the comparison, probably just fine.)

For cabinet colors I like the cordovan best, again, because it's modern, plus brighter. Second choice, cafe, again because it's bright.

I like the gunstock floors best on their own, but the butterscotch probably brings out the tones better.

Can you get real life samples to compare in sunlight?

My favorite is the cafe cabs w/ natural floor.

Butterscotch reads too yellow for my taste.

cafe and natural for me too.

Cordovan and butterscotch. don't like the natural floors at all, they're a whole different tone.

Cafe and butterscotch.

I like cordovan with any of the floor finishes.

All very nice choices.

First, thanks for all the comments. Keep them coming!

Secondly, it's actually not small at all. It's 15' wide, with high ceilings and lots of sunlight (it's an end unit). Including the eating area, it's 20' long.

The gunstock floor tends to blend with the cafe and cordovan finishes. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing! The amber provides more of a contrast.

I'm also considering possibly going with light counters, but I do like black. I just wonder if it works well here?

I also considered doing a light counter and a dark island, not sure.

Keep those thoughts coming!

Also, the cafe and butterscotch *slightly* blend. There is contrast, but not THAT much contrast. At certain light levels they do start to blend together.

Cafe and natural

Cafe and butterscotch== I like the dark counters with the combo, afraid light might get "washed out". As far as the fronts-- I like the front you picked- unless you want a very "Modern" feel - than flat front. The one you picked feels more traditional/current...
Good luck!

Here's the 1st floor layout. The entire floor will be hardwood, as well as the stairs:

The cafe and natural are OK, but I really like the cafe and butterscotch - much warmer and I don't see yellow.

The amber cabinets are too brown, and the cordovan too dark with the dark counters. Was this pic taken on a cloudy day? How much natural light do you have?

Cafe and butterscotch. The cafe struck me as brighter. The butterscotch warm and the combo works.

My only concern with the butterscotch is will my furniture go with it? I'm going for that modern, transitional Ikea look.

For example, kitchen table:

1 vote for cordovan and butterscotch. :-)

My personal favorite combination is cordovan/butterscotch, followed closely by "natural" floor.

One advantage of "natural" is that it is natural -- it is oak-a time honored finish and it will blend with any other wood.

Your accents will not be at the junction of wood on wood.
Go with what you like!
