Hall Tile Decision

I want to paint our 8ish year old kitchen cabinets

white like this door for a crisper

 look than the deep cream colour they are now which will also give more contrast to

our mosaic backsplash. This is one porcelain floor tile

we may choose for the front hallway which leads into the kitchen

and I thought it would be a good idea to pick something that flows visually 

with our natural maple floors, backsplash and kitchen counters

 since our home is about 1800 square feet with a traditional layout of  separate rooms

 that  all have a view to one another with many doorways.

                                                

                                                                

This is another tile.

It has a little more grey tones in it.

 

Both are under 3.00 a square foot and I like that.

If we go with the larger tile, Todd will cut it in half and 

to make a brick pattern and if we go with the smaller one will
lay it just like the mudroom porch floor.

that you can see here

and here, nothing fancy for this 

simple cottage style home

My gut is telling me to go with the smaller tile with more

grey in it but I guess I will know after I get to a few

more places to see if there might be anything else worth 

looking at.
