I looked at the paints you posted and if you want to paint green above the sink and stove, you will need to have it directly relate something else in the Kitchen scheme. This would mean you would need to find a glass tile that has the green in it or go with a totally neutral backsplash like the 4x4 tiles you are showing with the glass tile. A viewers eye will look for a relationship between the paint color and the backsplash or other features in the room and not find it. Even if those colors exist in an adjacent room, the relationship needs to be clearly there in the Kitchen. In this case, I don't think matching accessories will get you there either. Now for a little design editorial. I think the basic design concept that you should bring colors from one room to another throughout the house is a good one, but has been overused. The theory is that having each room relate makes the house flow. Whether that works or not really depends on a lot more factors. The premise is that each room should not be a completely different color, yet in some cultures it is the norm to paint each room a completely different color and looks quite wonderful in context. Okay, enough of that. In effect, you do have a color relationship between your rooms already and it is your basic neutral Khaki. There are some advantages to keeping the backsplash completely neutral if you want to use accent paint colors. You can change your color scheme very easily without having to change tiles. Basing your scheme on the neutral allows you to paint accent walls while the overall effect remains pulled together. Either choice is a good one. It's what works best for you. If you decide to keep the glass tile as you originally selected it, and still love the green, try to find somewhere else to use it. I used my green in the Laundry room.

THanks for the pictures and the cutting edge stencils. I had seen their website, but not looked at the branches. THe problem with my tween is she has her heart set on a room we saw, "Design on a dime". Well, they used a stencil that I CANNOT locate anywhere. I've checked hgtv boards etc and the show did not say where they got it (maybe I will rewatch, bc I don't remember). THey just said they were $90. Also, on the show they made a comforter out of the stencil w/ fabric paint. I am NOT that crafty. The best I can do is a comforter from overstock.com and maybe some stencil wall art. Lol. I took a picture of the stencil on my phone, but I don't know how to upload it here. Can anyone tell me?

I have about 4500 sq ft of interior wall I will have to do. Large format tile or a sintered product like Neolith has an interesting appeal - but.... it needs to be mounted on something, or if you get the thicker stuff it's pricey per sq foot. My architect sent me some pics - I'll upload and share them here and see what you think - I truly believe that we will need a wood or wood look product in order to warm things up and be somewhat cost effective - but we're also discussed some backlit plexiglass / colored accent areas, too - it's so easy / cool to do that these days with LEDs. My house would look like the Partridge Family bus! Stay tuned.

I would love to; I've tried to photograph it many times. It's tone on tone yellow, and my phone takes the worst pictures in history so I haven't been able to get one that shows it well. Maybe these give a slight idea? Currently sporting some awesome Christmas art! The header over the doorway gives probably the best indication of the overall effect when you're in the room. The rest of the walls of the kitchen sitting area are painted the lighter yellow, while the kitchen proper is the darker yellow used as the base (divided from sitting area by fridge so no transition is visible). The stencilled wall extends the length of the room and divides the kitchen from dining room. The pantry is off the dining room (visible from kitchen) and I used the same stencil on the bare plywood walls of the pantry, in the white that I used on the DR walls. Sorry if I highjacked the thread, to bring it back on track if anyone is thinking about stencilling a wall: DO IT!!
