Why not get something like bamboo or tile, and buy a couple of those"see
through" rubber mats that they use in professional kitchens to put in the
few places where you actually do much standing. After all, it's reall just
in front of the sink, the stove, and perhaps one major counter work area.
Then you could have a surface that is good looking and impervious to water,
easy to clean, AND save your feet and back.
