It's impossible not to be inspired by the bright colors, fashion, architecture and certainly the food of Latin America. What's even more inspirational — Latin American artwork. We've found our favorite vintage (and even a few modern) pieces of artwork on a very familiar medium. More

We love these mismatched yet coordinated napkins from Shopsin's General Store. We use our fabric napkins every day, and it would be fun to have a set that wasn't so easily stained, or that didn't need to get matched up with its mates. More

Growing up there were always placemats on the kitchen table. They were there not only for decoration, but also for their functionality. When someone would make a mess, it wouldn't be a big fuss because they were easy to wipe off and put back on the table. Even when the "fancy" linen placemats were brought out, no one cried over spilt juice because they were just thrown in the washer. More

The Italian Moka pot is a great way to brew small servings of coffee, espresso-style. (Note: purists are quick to point out that Moka coffee is not espresso, although with the proper pressure, beans, and grind, the Moka can produce the coveted crema of espresso.) But this iconic little pot is also a great design and lately we've noticed its image popping up kitchen art and decoration. Here's a roundup of some of our favorites. More

It's often challenging to do the right thing. Purchasing food from bulk bins is a way to avoid unnecessary packaging, but then we often resort to using brand new plastic bags in order to cart it home. Molly de Vries of Mill Valley, CA is devoted to the non-disposable life and has developed these sweet little furoshiki-style cloth sacks as one way to manage the plastic bag dilemma. More

We absolutely love making yummy treats. Whether they're whoopie pies, cookies, cakes, cupcakes (you name it!) we love making them, and best of all, soaking up how beautiful they are before everyone ravages them up. If you think about it &mdash a lot of the treats that we make at home look like artwork. The colors, the shapes, the different textures &mdash we think they'd make great pieces of art if captured in the right way. More

Sometimes we take cooking too seriously and we need a good laugh. Food and food preparation are forms of art, so why not use them as inspiration when working with different mediums. We never thought we'd be drawn to pillows made to look like food — but we love these, and we want to share them with you! More

Q: I'm looking for a good (preferably green) source for table linens. Specifically, good quality, solid color tablecloths. But I'm happy to browse through any source.

Any suggestions?

When we were younger we never gave tea towels much thought. They were always in the kitchen and were used for various tasks. One thing they were never used for is now one of the main reasons that we continue to purchase tea towels — they are great pieces of art. More
