Hi all

I'm designing a cabinet I want to build for my bathroom. Since this is my first big project, and my first cabinet, I'm a little uncertain about what wood to use. I know to use plywood for the sides, backs and drawers, and I want to use solid wood for the drawer fronts and glazed door frames. I want to use either a naturally dark wood (not looking to break the bank here, so no ebony) that I can also get as veneered plywood, or a wood I can stain a 50/50 mix of Jacobean and ebony. My oak floors throughout most of my house are this stain and I would like to carry that color through to the bathroom cabinet to help tie it back to the rest of the house (the floor in there is white 12" tile and the carpet in the bedroom is a very light off white).

So my question is really two part: what wood can I use that will survive well in the humid environment AND will either be dark or take stain well? Caveat: I have very modern tastes and oak cabinets are just not my thing, so I prefer to not use oak.

Thanks for any suggestions,

Laura
