I think the color scheme comes down to personal preference. You could go with a contrasting color like a clear coat of finish on pine. Or, a darker stain. I would get some scrap material to experiment with.
You might even consider painted trim contrasted with the stained wood. White trim might break up the large wood panels nicely. It's hard to tell without experimenting and looking at it in person. Good luck.
Lookin good, D. I really like those paly's. If you ever frag them, let me know and how much. I'll save up. I will give some to Carlos, too if they aren't expensive.:rapture:
