Google "back painted glass" and your city and you should get some options. At least where I am (DC metro area) the prices varied wildly. All of my outlets are under cabinet, but i understand the glass folks simply cut out the outlets and polish the edges, just as the edges at the end of a counter run are polished to a smooth finish. My glass has little tiny notches cut out for the wire for the under cab plugs. Best of luck.

Can't believe I found these old photo's, but we had some stainless steel tiles in our kitchen from a remodel we did back in 2001. These pictures are from before it was finished, but gives a good idea. In our current remodel we used stainless steel tiles behind out cooktop as an accent, but it was a large area, not just a spot piece. After all these years I forgot how much I liked those older accent tiles. Old Kitchen: Old Kitchen: Old Kitchen: Current Kitchen accent:

Thank you all so much for your replies. The pictures are so helpful! Bahacca, thank you for the detail on the tiles. I really like how the alternating grains create a different look. I'm such a messy cook that I'm a little afraid of grout behind the stove. At least, the grey grout with the stainless tiles will probably hide stains better than all the white tiles I seem to like. Mrs_Nyefnyef, I also considered doing a granite backsplash behind the stove. However, I worried that it would be difficult to transition from the thick piece of granite behind the range to a thinner backsplash tile next to it for the rest of the counters. If you go with the stainless, do you have a plan for the rest of your backsplash? I'm curious what you would pair with it. Maybe you have a great idea that can save me from my indecision!! The Martha picture is helpful. . . I personally feel like the stainless part needs some type of border to set it off from the glass subway tiles. I don't know. . . I'm driving myself crazy with these details. Michele0901, thank you for that link! I just had a chance to look at it and it is exactly the kind of thing I meant. It has more dimension than the home depot sheets. It's more expensive, of course, but it's such a unique look. And it seems like it would be easier to clean than anything with grout. Have you decided what the rest of your backsplash will be? I'm wondering how to treat the border where the stainless connects to the tile backsplash that will be next to it. I wonder if I could do a row of vertical pencil tiles at the edge of the sheet to sorta trim it out. KWIM? I'm attaching a link to the other backsplash I had been considering. . . also a diamond pattern. I really like how this one looks, but I worry about cleaning it. The "dragging sponge on grout" is like nails on chalkboard to me! However, if I do stainless diamonds behind the range, I don't think I can do this white one in the rest of the kitchen. Too much diamond going on. So that means I will have to think of a new backsplash for the rest of the kitchen.

dvdr, I have the same dilemma. I'm using a granite with a lot of movement, and I also adore glass mosiac. However, I think it will wind up "competing" with the granite. I'm looking for a solution. I've had suggestions to just paint the backsplash, but we are messy active cooks. I have a painted backsplash now and it's a mess. I'm considering picking a shade of color that picks up one of the movement colors in the granite, and then installing a sheet of tempered glass over that. That way I get a solid non-competing look, but the low maintenance of a solid sheet of glass.
