I like the mood boards Lisa did.
what if you did a patterned tile floor?? like an 8x8 tile?
Or, are you up for painting? make your husband happy and save money.
Paint those existing floor tiles and grout
you can paint the floor tiles any color, and the go over it w/a stencil design in any color.
for instance, what about something like this I stuck in w/Lisa's board?
do a simiple white/gray backsplash tile, matte black hardware
before and after. you want the link??

solid color is also doable, but I like the stencil option better.
Or, what about something like this? super easy, looks good, and you can pick the perfect gray that works w/the granite

I mean, you said the next owners in a few years would prob remove it, so why not save a bunch of money and put it elsewhere??
