The beautiful thing about a chalkboard in any kitchen is the versatility it offers — from art board to functional tool. The trick is to constantly change the message to keep it fresh.
Take a peek at the vast selection of chalkboards on eBay for your home.

If you’re one of those lucky people with massive white walls in need of filling, then you might want to consider this psychedelic piece of art by Antonia Mora, “Woodboy.” By blending natural and inanimate images with human forms, Mora creates a whole knew genre of portraiture. You can see more of his work here.

Our very own Jauretsi Saizarbitoria, Chief Curator over here at The Inside Source, was recently featured on Refinery 29, where they got inside the brain of our epic multi-tasker. Did you know that in addition to finding you the best in culture, arts, fashion, and design, Jauretsi hosts a radio show? Or that she’s also a documentary filmmaker? You’re going to have to read the rest for yourself. Until then, here’s an excerpt from Refinery 29.
Refinery 29: Tell us a bit about your career path — we sometimes get lost in all the details.
Jauretsi: “I was always a little diffuse in my career goals. I’ve let my passions guide me. I learned in later years that that’s an asset not a liability. Yeah, I threw parties in the mid ‘90s for Paper magazine, then Details back when it had the Soho loft (oh, those rooftop days!). By the time I made it to Jane magazine, I was its entertainment editor, booking celebrity covers. Jane Pratt was an awesome partner in crime and really knew how to put people together. After 10 years in print, I left the business to shoot a documentary in Cuba and reemerged in New York two years later to reinvent myself as a digital girl.”

Currently, we have our new favorite band on repeat here at The Inside Source. The band from Minneapolis (check out their cute Tumblr) is tickling our fancy with their single, “It Hurts,” which you can download for free here.

We love the “AnOther Lovers” section on the AnOther Magazine website that has the publication’s editors pick their fav photos online, like this tasty pic seen above. Here’s more fabulous inspiration from commissioning editor Laura Bradley.

Isn’t this GIF the greatest? It reminds us of old Disney cartoons from way back in the day. But never mind all that. What it really did was remind us of cooking… and that we need a few new pans. If you’re outfitting your new home or apartment, it’s worth checking out eBay for a vast selection of goods. You can pretty much find any kind you like. From eco-healthy ceramic sets to the coveted copper kind, we think eBay has whatever you’re looking for.

Too often we tend to favor simpler palates of neutral shades. But what if we dig into the archives and go for something a little more, well, gauche? Here, the wood paneled walls paired with the orange door and runner in the hallway might be a little much for modern tastes, but the massive piece of ’70s driftwood serving as a foyer table is still pretty spectacular even by today’s standards.

Can you get any more American than a good ol’ fashioned Ford Thunderbird? Launched in the mid-’50s, the “T-Bird” would eventually create the market for what they called a ”personal luxury car.” Here’s the suave Clark Gable increasing his swagger points with this 1955 model.
Check out a few 1955 models available on eBay, one with a bid starting at $10,000.

We’ve previously mentioned the array of old-school claw foot tubs available on eBay, but today we’re inspired by the modern variety. Sleek graphic tubs, like the one seen above, can catapult any room toward modern ingenuity.
Check out the selection of contemporary tubs on eBay and decide for yourself.
