My wife likes Option (F) (Moen Eva) since she thinks it matches the hanging lights over the peninsula better. Watching the Moen installation video makes it look easy enough.

Check out stone look back spash tiles. Lots of switch plates options that look like stone work.

If you use stainless steel plates they will still stick out. Think about blending in so they go away and are not all that noticeable. Or you will have a hopscotch pattern no matter what nice plates you have and they will get all the (negative) attention and ruin the kitchen.

I think my wife wants to do a cabinet over the sink and we'll figure out some sort of lighting solution on our own. It would be great if you could link to some examples of stone-look back splash options and the switch plate options.

This:

Stonique Mocha Light Switch Plates, Outlet Covers, Wallplates

... would work with a tumbled marble backsplash.

Holy cow, an entire store devoted to switch plate covers! Thanks for the link. Now we just need some good places to show for self-adhesive back splashes.
