You don’t have to do everything in stainless steel. Like the cabinets can be in a different style. Also stainless steel can be colored. Trough heat treatment, chemical process or a nano coating. It’s expensive though, that’s why you only see kitchen sinks in colored stainless steel.

And you can use other metals for a countertop like brass. Though brass ages and gets a patina. You either love or hate that.

Yeah thanks I don't want verdigris on my pastry.

yeah verdigris is too much patina lol. I was more talking about how brass will get brownish gold spots. If you let it turn green your not cleaning it often enough.

No matter how much you clean it, it's always going to have a layer of ooxides, and they're water soluble, which would taste like sucking on loose change.

That's why you don't see brass cookware. Copper bowls can be a thing, but that's weird chef stuff, and cleaning them before use is arduous.
