Yes, a picture would help. Usually a creamy white ( my favorite ) looks good with honey oak as well as some shades of green, sage & sometimes a grayish green can look okay.

Can you share photos showing more of the space? Would be good to see upholstery, window treatments, etc., to get a feel for the overall style and colors in the room. Do you want a stained cabinet or would you consider one that's painted?

I have one of these tv cabinets from the late 80s. I removed all the CD racks and use it in my retreat to keep photo albums, diarys and drawing supplies. I believe these are out of style now as CDs and DVDs are no longer as popular. You might try Craigs List and used furniture stores.

Did you save any scraps of wood? I have used a lime wax before. It would make it look like your candlesticks. I’m not a pro, so I would consult someone before using it on a built-in. An espresso stain would match other elements and not compete with the fireplace, but might be heavy. I think you have a very nice balance between dark and light now. If you had continued your baseboard beneath it, I would say paint it the trim color. Probably would still be fine. Hopefully someone will give you some advice on other colors. I would definitely try any stain/wax treatments on scrap first so you know what technique will give you the color you want. You might have to use wood conditioner or do a certain number of coats.
