We are putting in a pale green subway tile from Sonoma Tilemakers; ours is the Star line in color Trellis Green. I'm not positive you'd call it sage green; it's more what I'd call celadon but it is a grayish green. And Sonoma makes various other greens, both in matte, shiny and crackle. The Star line is their low end at about $11/sf (shipped from California to Texas) and the other lines are a bit more expensive. Our backsplash should be in within a few weeks. I can post pictures then if you'd like (we're using an accent band of Sonoma Tantrum tiles in color Tazo in 1x2 tiles). Here is a link that might be useful: Sonoma Tilemakers

Right! Some of our favorite projects have involved breathing new life into spaces that others might have gutted or demolished, like this home we designed a few years ago. As for your hardware, go for a matte black. It will modernize the cabinetry and bring depth to the space. These gorgeous faucets we found were the perfect blend of mountain and modern: Some ideas for your light fixtures from some of our projects: With crisp white walls, a couple of new light fixtures, and black hardware, this bathroom will feel updated and chic. Keep us posted on your progress. We can’t wait to see what you do with the space!

I am not a big enough lover of green to do a whole room in it . Is this your "forever" home ? Your steam room has windows ? I would not mix that green with that quartzite but I need to see the exact slab of stone and the tile you are thinking of and also some pics of the bathroom layout . Steam rooms require a lot of attention to function well and I usually prefer the selfcontained type to eliminate all the tile that gets really gross in a steam room.
