Flooring finishes

So we are working away a little at a time on the guest house , We have the roof shingled and it is now officially water tight , the siding shingles are about half way done , the inside just needs beadboard panelling and flooring and trim ... Not too far now . The flooring will be pine v- groove and now I am wondering what finish , it could be stained but I only like dark stains and I think we want to make it as light as possible , so do I do simple white floors or white and blue stripes ... ? It's so hard to choose ??? Your thoughts would be appreciated , thanks
I promise to take some pictures for the blog soon , it's just not quite ready for it's close up!
