Although, I love soft, pale, barely there yellow, the canary (egg yolk as I call it) yellow is just too garish. I do like the mint green and I'm finding lots of sites that are showing myriad options in décor for it now. I imagine it's one of those "get it while it's hot" colors but it's a beautiful one to me. I've used the hot pink in much smaller doses for my daughter's room when she was little but I doubt I would use it in large quantities. I also deal with blue best in small doses.

My first instinct was tile exactly because of how labor intensive this would be but then I began looking at all the color variations. I would think tiles would have more consistent coloring so this could definitely be timber. It seems too "imperfect" to be man-made material. As someone else said, "tricky."

EVERYTHING! This is the old kitchen in the even older house we have started to renovateStrip everything out, wash nicotine from walls & ceiling and paint (colour undecided), replace cupboards with lime washed or antique white timber, stainless steel bench top that incorporates gas rings and sink on left side (no wall cupboards on that side), Dresser style cupboards on right hand side, maybe an island bench, knock window into french doors to bring in more light, Marmoleum on the floor (probably red).....once the builder has opened up the room by knocking out the walls framing the picture!

I think you will have no trouble mixing it with your leather, will look beautiful , have a look at 3 birds renovations, they use a lot of white and rattan.
