Two tones of wood

[downtoearth]

Yup, honey oak to match the cabinets. But I think it's okay to have two tones of wood in the kitchen/dining room.

It really, really looks like a kitchen cabinet, so finish it to play nicely with them.

It looks like it's oak anyway. I'm not a fan of staining oak a cherry color; IMHO, it's like you're trying to pretend it's something it isn't.

Personally, I'd paint ALL the cabinets. But I don't care for oak, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

This is probably what I would do too. 

If not this, then stain the pantry to match the cabinets.
