Design Dilemma Need Your Advice

I've got a design dilemma that I'm asking your advice on. I want a marble counter top. White with the gray veins. Consistent with the age of the house. When it comes to the cabinet underneath my mother and I are disagreeing on color. She thinks I should do a really dark cabinet to highlight the color of the marble. I want to do a white cabinet because all of the wood in the house is white - molding, baseboards, doors, plus I wanted to put white wainscoting on the walls.

So... questions:

  1. Which color cabinet in the bathroom (see image options below)
  2. If you go with a darker wood cabinet do you nix the wainscoting?
  3. What color do you then paint the bathroom (see options below)
Vote at the poll to the right after viewing the photo examples below:

extra facts - the bathroom is the master bath that connects to the Tiffany's bedroom that is below.

I like natural wood but lighter. Have you looked at bleached oak? Warmer than the white wash and would compliment the marble nicely without such a stark contrast. I think the darker shade is less practical, dark wood shows wear and tear. That is my Realtor side, always thinking resale!
