design dilemma: picking a stain.

so i'm just now starting to think about what color i should stain my new dresser for in the fireplace room. and i'm kind of stuck. (reminder, this is what it looks like)

 
I'm looking at stains by Minwax, since i've used them before and i like them and i can get them at the Depot on my way home from my getting my haircut on Saturday. These are some of the colors i'm looking at:
(all color swatches from here)
 
Sedona Red
 
English Chestnut
 
Red Oak
 
Gunstock
 
Dark Walnut
 
anyone have any opinions? at the moment i think i'm most drawn to English Chestnut or Gunstock. but Gunstock might clash with the floors. but i dont really know. HELP. i am excited, but also terribly indecisive.

Dani says Red oak. I like the gunstock, but that's cause I'm from Wyoming. If you think it will clash with the floor , then I like English Chestnut next.

Can you believe it! I agreed with your mother even before I read her comment! Right down to the WY comment! That must be a sign from God if not a miracle! But I do think any of them will look better than paint unlike your mother.
