Consider switching to Creative Mode. In Creative Mode, you won’t earn any achievements or trophies, but you’ll have all the resources you need already in the crafting menu. You won’t have to gather materials or worry about dying and losing everything you’ve gathered.
Keep in mind that different types of trees produce different color wood. Oak and Birch trees produce lighter color wood. Dark oak and spruce have a darker color. Jungle wood and acacia have a reddish tint to it.
You may also want to craft a few sticks, and then craft wooden fence posts using a crafting table. Fence posts can be used as table legs, and hanging light fixtures. Consider crafting steps from wood planks. Steps can be used as chairs, or as counters and tables when placed upside-down. You can craft steps using 6 wooden plank blocks using a crafting table.
Craft a crafting table from the wooden planks you made. Craft a furnace using the crafting table and 8 pieces of cobblestone. Place the furnace and open it. Place cobblestone in the space above the icon that resembles a flame. Place place fuel in the space below the icon that resembles a flame. You can use coal, charcoal, wood, or wooden planks. Wait for the cobblestone to finish cooking and gather your stone from the furnace.
If you can’t find black, or gray sheep, find squid. Squid live in water. Kill the squid and see if the squid dropped some ink. Once you have some ink, head back to the crafting table, put one white wool in the middle slot of the bottom row, then place the ink on top of it. If you can’t get gray wool, put the black wool in the same bottom spot, and put bonemeal on top. Then gather the black wool.
Iron: Iron can be used to craft buttons, cauldrons (for a sink), buckets, and steel doors. Iron ore is mined in caves using a stone pickaxe and then smelted into Iron bars using a furnace. Sand: Sand is found in and alongside rivers and lakes and mined using a shovel. It can be used to craft sandstone, which can be used for counters and floors.

You can use a crafting table to craft polished granite from 4 granite blocks. Clay: Clay can be found by mining clay blocks using a shovel in rivers and lakes. It can be used to craft clay blocks and bricks which make great walls and counters. Nether Quartz Block: Nether quartz blocks can be crafted from nether quartz. You get nether quartz by smelting a nether quartz block mined in the nether in a furnace. You can then craft four nether quartz into a nether quartz block using a crafting table. Plants: For some added decoration, consider adding some flowers or plants to your kitchen.

Alternatively, make a fridge by putting an iron block, and a dispenser loaded with food, then put a button on the iron block and an iron door.
Alternatively, you can craft steps and place them upside-down to act as a counter. You can also craft wool carpet, trapdoors, or pressure plates and place it on top of the counter to act as a countertop.
