We moved from another bright warm state to Florida. In my other house I had white cabinets and bathroom vanities. When we bought here, there wasn't the option of selecting cabinet finishes. The house we purchased had medium cherry cabinets. Worked out fine for us, the color is pretty neutral and it actually went with much of the furniture we brought. Over the years, we've replaced many pieces, but have kept with a similar color palette, some cherry, some darker woods, but pieces with very simple lines. If we had light or white cabinets, I wouldn't be unhappy, I do like them, but I also like the ones I have.
Select something that makes you feel happy. I know it's not much help, but everyone has different feelings about what surroundings make them feel good.
I've been in many homes in The Villages and I haven't seen one that isn't lovely.
