I'm siding with tedbixby, a satin nickel or black would be perfect. Brass doesn't quite go and chrome is going to be too much visually.

What's the color of the small medallions in your backsplash? They almost look like oil rubbed bronze which would make your choice an easy one! If ORB seems too dark for you, then I'd go with satin nickel. Polished anything would probably be off the list for me.

Whoopsie! Sorry for the mention of the medallions ;-) In that case, the satin nickel would be lovely in your kitchen. It's going to be beautiful with your appliances.

Your new and improved kitchen is going to be beautiful!

If you've looked at many of the design magazines lately (House Beautiful, Veranda, etc.) you will notice that brass is coming back! Not the polished brass of yesteryear, but unlacquered brass that is very soft and matte looking. Nickel has been used for the past 15 or so years and is becoming a bit overdone. Oil-rubbed bronze is very nice for a casual/rustic look.
