HUmmmmm I like the light blue, the reason being the brown looks a bit orange to me in the photo and orange and blue are opsite on the color wheel and are complementary to each other.
But I am sure you will make a good choice. The mono tone the first picture was too bland.
The pasley to much and the rail fenc turned the opsite way from the long pieces took to much away fron the blocks...
Just my opinion, and could be diff if seen in real... good luck with it.
ConnieF will be looking for the finished top
