For those of you (like me) who are too lazy to do a nice custom job like this, a reasonable and inexpensive alternative with a similar look is the current line of Amy Coe bedding at Target. Same colors...brown, black, white and "that green". The animal is an elephant.

I've done the peel 'n stick. Same black and white squares as becky above. 29 cents/sq foot, can't beat it. My small kitchen went from super icky to livable for $35. The tiles over the really rough part of the floor didn't stick well, but I bought a small tub of the mastic you use to put down regular vinyl tiles and it worked great there.

It's true, peel 'n sticks are vinyl. But then again so are Flor carpet squares, for instance, although they would like you to believe they are green. I called Flor and asked...they hemmed and hawed but finally admitted it.

If you do want a cheap easy solution that is more green, try cork. You can buy it on line for as little as 99 cents/sq ft from Lumber Liquidators. You glue it down with contact cement, and cut it with scissors. Almost as easy as peel 'n stick and cooler.
