Counters are in now. I am considering covering the stainless over the cooktop and tiling to bottom of hood. We were worried that tiling the two areas on each side would look choppy. But maybe not with these smaller tiles. There is a LOT of stainless steel in this kitchen, so I do not want to use it on each side. If we use the lightest small glass tile I would use a pale grey grout, which looks really nice with it. I am interested in everyone’s thoughts. We are in the home stretch. Thanks!!!
