Please please help! I am feeling very overwelmed.

As part of our kitchen renovation, we have had to remove an island in our kitchen and will be putting in another island in a different place. We will need to replace all of the kitchen floor (the tile is discontinued). Our thought was to put some sort of border around the exterior of the kitchen and possible place the interior tile on a diagonal.

Unfortunately, replacing all the tile in the house is just not possible.

Our cabinets are chocolate cherry. We live in SW Florida.

This is our current floor: href="http://s143.photobucket.com/albums/r151/twositpics/kitchen/?action=view¤t=P1020662.jpg"; target="_blank">

Am I on the right track? Any suggestions? IMO, the tiles appear much different in the pictures--should I trust the pictures more than IRL?

Thanks--in advance for any help
