... Then head indoors for a big feast around the dining table. There will be good conversation, gesticulation like only Italians can do, and plenty of laughter.

Style Secret: Capacious Kitchen and Dining TablesThe kitchen is the heart of the home, we've all heard — but nowhere does that hold truer than in Italy. Family meals provide the pulse of household life. Even if you're a party of two or three, add a long farm-style kitchen or dining table that looks as though it can hold several generations. Bella Tuscany: Tuscan spaces tend to be uncluttered, and this one is no exception. The owners let the simple furnishings make their own quiet statement without feeling the need to overfill the space with bric-a-brac.

Ocher walls with exposed brick and terra-cotta tile floors fit right in in Mexico, Italy, Spain or California. It's a classic look.

Vincent van Gogh was a particular admirer of yellow. In 1888 he wrote to his sister from the South of France: "Now we are having beautiful warm, windless weather that is very beneficial to me. The sun, a light that for lack of a better word I can only call yellow, bright sulfur yellow, pale lemon gold. How beautiful yellow is!"Surely the sun makes us all feel better. There is nothing quite like a warm yellow for creating a Mediterranean aesthetic with terra-cotta tiles and warm woods, as shown here.See how to work with bright yellowTell us: Is yellow your friend or foe, and how have you used it?
