architectural digest : Sofía Vergara

 

Architectural Digest recently showcased Sofía Vergara’s luxurious Los Angeles residence in its “Hollywood at Home” edition. 

Vergara, who bought the house with her former husband Joe Manganiello, led an extensive makeover that transformed the once-outdated property into a welcoming, richly decorated space brimming with antiques and personal details. 

Sophia worked with interior designer Ohara Davies-Gaetano and architect Timothy Corrigan to reimagine her house.

 

The home, originally built in the 1990s, was completely updated. Arches and columns were removed to create a space that's brighter and feels more open.

Landscape designer Stephen Block created gardens filled with tropical plants that reflect Vergara's Colombian heritage.

The redesign includes European antiques from countries like Spain, Sweden, France, and Italy.

 

Notable pieces are an 18th-century Venetian mirror, a French limestone fireplace from the same period, and ornate Baroque armchairs with gilded details.

Elegant touches throughout the house include a dining room ceiling decorated with hand-embossed floral plaster, an antique chandelier from Italy, and a sizable collection of porcelain antiques.

 

What a dreamy outdoor space!

 

So perfect for parties!

I love the muted colors used here.

She's especially proud of her walk-in closet, which is floor-to-ceiling, color-coordinated.

 

Sophia describes her closet as "a girl's girl's dream."

Sofia also owns a vacation house called "Casa Chipi Chipi" in a secret location believed to be in Colombia, her homeland. 

She enjoys spending time there with her family and often welcomes friends and fellow actors to visit. 

The home is famous for its tropical atmosphere and warm, fun décor that reflects Sofia's lively personality.

 

Hey! I have those same pillows!

They’re from Serena and Lilly.

Such a pretty and beachy place setting!

We hope you enjoyed this tour of Sophia Vergara’s lovely homes.

3 new celebrity recipes

 

From the pages of People Magazine, today I’m sharing 3 delicious celebrity recipes that will make your tastebuds very happy!

Click on each recipe to enlarge and print.

Perfect for indulging in something warm and comforting during the weekdays, we have Joanna Gaines’ recipe for Chicken Tortilla Soup.

 

I’ve made this myself with my homemade chicken stock and I can attest to this tortilla soup being quite tasty! It’s perfect for making and having over the course of two days, which I love! Cook one day and rest the next.  

 

I love the idea of making these next two recipes for a little weekend indulgence. Don’t feel like going out to a fancy dinner in a restaurant? Make one at home instead, and let’s Start with George Clooney’s recipe for Mojito Risotto with Seared Scallops! Yum!!

Don’t be intimidated, this recipe is pretty easy to make, and if you’ve ever made home made risotto, you know it’s quite a treat in itself! Personally I like less rum added, or none at all. 

 

And now for my favorite part of the meal, dessert! And it’s perfectly alright to treat yourself like a princess while partaking in this glorious dessert!

 

The Princess of Wales’ Sticky Toffee Pudding is a treat for all the senses, and trust me, if you’ve never had sticky toffee pudding you are missing out… big time!! Give it a try this weekend.

Oh, and here's another one of Kate's delicious recipes. I've made this chutney several times, and it's delicious served with a traditional chicken salad or with cheese and crackers.

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