Ron, when we were redoing our kitchen recently, adding stainless appliances, I was stumped for the back splash area around the room. We had used tile elsewhere and I didn't want a repeat of that. During one of my daily (!) trips to Lowes or HD during this time, I noticed masonite paneling with a stainless look in 3" tile design. We used this and everyone who has come by has enthused about the steel on our walls to which we smile, knowing it's just a look alike. This may be over the top for your look, but in addition to your stainless-look counters, you might consider the masonite paneling in the steel look for some wall area. One of my daughters even cut a piece to install on the front of the dishwasher which also looks great. Good luck in deciding on your counters. ~G
