If you’re interested in decorating your home with a nod to Latin American arts and culture, but don’t want to go the route of your typical “paintings of women with braids doing things”, consider paying a visit to LAMA: Latin America in the Modern Age.
The pieces are all picked by an interior designer (and her doggy) out in L.A. and run the gamut from more “typical” Latin American designs featuring motifs like lucha libre wrestlers and Dia de Los Muertos skeletons, to more contemporary designs like twee little sparrows kissing a deer on a tote bag.
The site features home decor, stationery and paper goods and other fun little trinkets and accessories by Latin American artists. There were really too many things we really liked to show off, so we limited ourselves to five doodads we thought were kind of cool. Check them out:
Egg Breakfast Set (Argentina) - $38.00
This little guy is so cute! We’d be nibbling on him and forget all about our breakfast.
Animales Pillows: Ardilla, Toro, Burro, Llama (Tanya AguiƱiga) - $120.00 each
Nothing like decorating your home with a little bull.
Cow Bank (Brazil) - $62.00
He wears his heart on his sleeve.
Street Vendor Birthday Card (La Familia Green) - $5.00
His vendor cart is full of secrets. Secrets like “I would have actually forgotten it was your birthday if it weren’t for Facebook reminding me.”
Monja Shoulder Bag (Guatemala) - $65.00
Ok, so $65.00 dollars for a cloth bag is decidedly ungodly. But it is kinda cute.

Oh man. We’re in a recession and you show us these goodies!?
Or maybe, just maybe, you’re throwing a hint of what we can get Guanabee for a late birthday gift?
