@bpath Yes we plan to lose the tree to the right of the house. Not pictured, but we have a large second garage on the far side of our property. We also have a finished basement and plan to expand that with this addition.

Jan is correct - I feel like I've seen MANY green tiles everywhere. Green has been quite popular over the past few years. While I know that you love your current backsplash, I would be shocked if you can't find another one that will also make you very happy,

Encore has some emerald tile with cracklecrackle. Spendy tho'
