Help, fellow Houzz enthusiasts! My dilemma: my kitchen, which is tiled in Daltile Indian summer, abuts a new construction mudroom. The porcelain kitchen tile has been discontinued, so I am looking for tile options in the mudroom that transition well.
1. I considered a black slate for the mudroom, but my builder is concerned about the unevenness.
2. Other porcelain options that look similar to the kitchen tile look wrong to me.
3. We have 22 12x12 Indan summer tiles remaining. One option we considered is using Daltile English grey tile as a border and creating an "area rug" rectangular area of the Indian summer. My husband is concerned that this will look strange and not unify the two rooms.
4. The rest of the house has hardwood floors, but for New England winters, I'd like tile at this entry.

Thanks for any pointers--I'm truly at an impasse.
