A lot of people like nude oak right now, but I've had a nude oak theme since I was in high school so it would feel somewhat like more of the same if I went in that direction. Also, oak takes a really long time to grow back. I went with cherry in the living room (because it makes the piano look really good), but for my room I want to be a bit more green. The hollow shelf will have a receiver and dvr sandwiching some old books. I like the old/new coupling. The handles can be replaced if I see them in person and don't like them.
I like dark and heavy, though, it makes me feel like an adult (not that those who have different tastes aren't adults, of course).
