Here are a few of my projects...

 

I've added a touch of pumpkin orange by transforming real mini pumpkins into glowing candle centerpieces for my breakfast room. Simply place a tea light inside each pumpkin and set them atop tall wooden candlesticks.

 

This straightforward idea brings a perfect dose of autumn charm to the breakfast room. For a full look at this project and many others, turn to page 87 in the fall edition of Country Sampler Farmhouse Style magazine.

 

Learn how to give a simple white pumpkin a chic makeover with polka dots! Today I’m sharing a few details in the Autumn issue of Country Sampler Farmhouse Style.

 

This easy DIY adds a playful yet elegant touch to your fall décor, making it perfect for both festive centerpieces and cozy corners. By using just a few supplies—like white chalk paint and a small brush and adhesive copper dots—you can transform an ordinary pumpkin into a standout accent that complements your favorite seasonal florals and arrangements.

 

Pair your polka-dot pumpkin with lush bouquets or tuck it among a grouping on your mantel for a fresh, modern twist on classic autumn styling.

 

An easy basket makeover with ivy and a French twist adds a touch of effortless elegance to your fall décor, infusing ordinary arrangements with a hint of European charm.

 

Pairing lush greenery with classic colors creates a beautiful contrast, perfect for any festive gathering or a cozy corner in your home. This basket project easily adds creativity and style to your autumn or winter décor.

 

This antique quilt, which has been passed down through my family, instantly adds charm to the toile wing chair.

  

 

Incorporating items with sentimental value like this quilt brings warmth and personality into your décor, letting your home's story shine in every room as the seasons change.

For a creative twist, consider using a stack of vintage books planted with succulents as an unexpected centerpiece for any side table. This blend of nostalgic charm and lush greenery offers a conversation starter and enhances the cozy atmosphere of your home décor.

patriotic table with cottage flowers

Happy Monday and the last day of June!

Summer seems to already be zooming by! Time to get our red, white and blue on!!❤️🤍💙

Bringing all the summer vibes to the table starting with the red geraniums from Armstrong Garden that I brought into the breakfast room, as my inspiration point for this patriotic look.

I then set the table with these vibrant new table linens from All Cotton and Linen and added some of my favorite farmhouse accents for a cozy look.

The blue goblets and striped chair cushions are new, and most other things are vintage.

Tell me friends, how do you celebrate Summer?

In case you haven’t heard, I started a new Instagram page in October and named it Claudia Fabiana Home.

 

My former page is still up, but after getting a new phone, I was no longer able to log into this account, so the new profile was born!

 

I hope you’ll follow along with me on Instagram for all the latest projects and décor I will be sharing in 2025.

a gorgeous new garden green tablecloth

It’s early morning in the breakfast room. I’m starting off the day with a few other new treasures on the table, and it’s an easy to put a big smile on my face!

Stop and take a peek at this gorgeous new Garden Green Tablecloth and Napkins from August Table. 

The look of these table linens is so cozy thanks to the fact that these are all 100% linen. The darling little stylized floral pattern is a classic.

 

Don’t you love the look of these wonderful new woven Safavieh farmhouse chairs? And there are also a few other goodies to share…

A pair of woven wicker glass vases in two complimentary sizes. These are so versatile for holding flowers, stems and even candles. Best of all, they look very pretty on their own too!

As a soothing backdrop, I just clipped a few eucalyptus branches to add a lovely bit of green to the room.

  

Freshly cut sprigs of kumquats add life to this little scene, not to mention a fun pop of color. The morning light in February is magical!

Check out these cute stoneware bowls from Antique Farmhouse. I love how they look with this Garden Green Tablecloth and round burlap placemats.

I have this same Garden tablecloth pattern in the yellow and gray tone that I love to style with lemons, but today I felt like a pop of orange from the kumquats would be fun!

Here’s another quick look at the new Garden Green tablecloth from August Table. Sometimes the simplicity of a simple white centerpiece is all you need to create a soothing look for the room.

 

A pair of white ironstone pitchers always come in handy, whether they’re holding some flowers from the garden or pouring your favorite iced tea. 

One of my favorite ways to serve Arnold Palmers is to have tea and lemonade in separate pitchers so guests create their own custom formula, over ice, with a sprig of mint!

the evolution of the dish room

 

Here’s another look at the new area in the house that I'm calling the “dish room”. 

Throughout the seasons, it’s really proven to be quite useful and popular for photo shoots, as well as housing all my extra plates, home accessories and vintage colored glassware.

Last year I decided to take an unused bedroom and use it as the main hub for a lot of my styling props. 

Here it is styled for the autumn months. Brown and white transferware, copper accessories and lots of natural textures five this space a fall vibe.

 

A cottage farmhouse display was set up against the big wall with furniture that was already in the room. I just added a peg rack to the shelves that were already in the room. 

I did have to paint the shelves white and move them to the center of the wall, but all in all, this was all very budget friendly.

 

A dark brown-black Ikea desk and the two shelves were transformed with a few coats of white chalk paint. I papered the wall with a fun beadboard textured wallpaper which saved me quite a bit of money on using actual beadboard.

 

All I bought, besides the wallpaper, was a custom-made peg rack to fit right under the bottom shelf and a cute gingham curtain for the desk opening.

 

I also found the most adorable vintage chandelier to finish off the room. This is now a great spot for my early morning photo shoots and also fulfills my organizational tendencies! 😜

My good friend and contractor George found this vintage corner cabinet around the corner from my home, on the curb!! It was free, and he knows my taste so well, that he immediately called me to give me the heads up on this free cabinet.

 

When we found this piece, it was painted with a very shiny and bright enamel paint that was just starting to peel off.

 

A lot of elbow grease, sanding, scraping and now this piece was ready for a new coat of paint.

 

I painted it a neutral grey-green color. In this photo, it looks greener than it does in real life. It’s a great farmhouse style neutral color.

 

With all the pretty dishes and plates I’ve collected over the years, I decided floor to ceiling dishes on the wall was a fun surprise for this main accent wall.

 

The stage is now set. There’s still time to fill in all the plates, but projects got in the way of it all. I love the evolution of it, so time is on my side.

 

Some of my favorite farmhouse and cottage style pieces are now on full display here in my new dish room.

 

And best of all, when Christmas projects came along, this was now the perfect backdrop for some very special stylings…

 

You may recognize this shot from the winter 2024 issue of Country Sampler Farmhouse Style magazine. Yes, my new little dish room now has proudly graced the cover of a magazine!   

 

Don’t ask me how this happened! It was a complete and utter surprise, but wow!!! A very special one!  

Here' how the cover shot turned out... 

This dish room is like a dream come true! I love how you've made use of an unused space and turned it into something so functional and aesthetically pleasing.

It's always inspiring to know a little creativity and some resourceful design can completely transform a space.
