timeless blue & white at the table

Blue and white is a timeless color palette, and I must admit my very favorite!

 

Today I’m showcasing pretty dishes, placemats, pitchers, chunky candlesticks and glassware from Antique Farmhouse.

I love how perfectly this August Table Villa Vaux Tablecloth and napkins match the plates. It’s a blooming success!

 

And speaking of blooming, this huge bunch of daisies are freshly picked from my garden. They’re actually a plant called Feverfew, similar to Chamomile.

 

Have you ever grown Feverfew? It’s so very easy to grow and reseeds itself every year. Another great quality is that this mini daisy with fragrant foliage is one of the first things to bloom in late winter and early spring.

 

Happy accidents may not be accidents at all! This was meant to be… pretty plates and napkins coordinating so well is a genuinely happy thing!!

 

Overall, this blue and white look is just what I needed today. This look offers a serene and calm view from everywhere in the house, and I just love it!

 

These oval wicker placemats actually fit more than the standard round placemats since there’s room on each side of flatware and napkins.

 

Although we call this the breakfast room, it’s so cozy and inviting that we use it for most of our meals.

 

As a final flourish to this look, we added new Grape Salt & Pepper shakers from Arthur Court, but the big bunch of daisies from the garden is the finishing touch to this timeless blue and white cottage farmhouse look.

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 Hamptons vibe at the breakfast table

Good Morning and Happy Monday!

 

Don’t you feel like this summer is just flying by? 

I can hardly believe it’s already July 31st, and with the start of August tomorrow, I want to stop and savor each moment that’s left of summer.

There’s nothing better than starting off this sunny day with a hot cup of coffee and a sliced up, toasty baguette that’s all buttered up and finished off with a touch of home-made jam.

 

Sitting here, I can’t help but notice that the real eye candy on the table is this gorgeous seashell butter dish from Arthur Court Designs. Doesn't it bring just the perfect coastal charm to the breakfast room? 

But of course, this butter dish would be appropriate for any meal throughout the day, and so cute for a weekend brunch. 

 

With the addition of white hydrangeas from the garden, I feel a real Hamptons vibe going on, which is perfect because we’re headed to NY later in the week!

 

Hoping you have a great morning and remember to enjoy this lovely summer day.

Just so you know, Arthur Court is offering 10% OFF any purchase

a very delicious and easy quiche recipe

Since March our veg garden has been producing a massive amount of Swiss chard, so I’m always looking for new ways to eat this super green.

 

One of the best recipes I’ve tried is for Rainbow Chard Quiche, a recipe from Martha Stewart. 

It’s quite tasty with the added crunch of phyllo dough pastry crust.

  

I hope you get a chance to make this recipe. It’s easier than it looks and really tastes amazing!
