Pardon me for all this non-Tiki stuff, but love to get opinions from others. Here is my question for all you home improvement builders:

My kitchen has white cabinetry and glass fronts to show off my FireKing Jadite (as in the picture. My counter tops are Corian in a green color called Caribbean as in the picture). I am going to build a Flamingo diorama above my main cabinets...I will have a beach mural put in place and then will decorate with pink plastic flamingos. I want the kitchen to have a general diner feel to it and I have the chrome dinette and bar stools.

My question is about the back splash, should I go with pink or white subway tile or should I go with the stainless steel backing that you see in so many diners. This is an actual picture of my kitchen and I put pink in the areas where I need the back splash.

Here is my Corian.

I have an eating counter top in the green Corian and have 6 diner stools. I want to put that stainless steel back splash on the bottom part of the wall in front of the stools, so I am really thinking that the back splash behind the stove should match. Here is what I am looking for (this is not my kitchen, it is an example)the kick wall in front of the counter stools.

Soooooooo, will the stainless steel look best and does anyone have a resource for the materials.
