a winter white tablescape

Hints of a winter wonderland are one of my favorite ways to honor the season we’re in right now. 

Evergreen trees, a neutral palette and just a hint of holiday sparkle is my favorite look for January.

 

Welcome to the breakfast room where today I’m featuring lots of thrifted treasures and some of my favorite simple holiday decor items.

I recently put up these cozy curtains right before Thanksgiving to warm up the space during the colder months. I found these toile-like drapes on Amazon and I just have them on simple and easy to use swing-arm curtain rods.

 

They’re so easy to install and you have so much versatility with how much of the curtains you want to show, and curtains are easily changed out without removing any hardware.

 

I loved this pattern so much that I recently bought a pretty blue colorway of this same print for my living room. I'll share those soon! 

 

The botanical print on these curtains features a pretty vining pattern with pomegranates, birds and even a few adorable hummingbirds!

 

And the fabric is perfect. It’s linen-like blend that has great texture and just the right amount of sheerness.

  

White eyelet placemats and napkins may feel like summer, but I love the little lacy quality they bring to this winter white table and give it a fun shabby chic look!

I found these two white cottage-shaped candles recently while out thrifting and I love how they glow in the center.

The chairs have a lovely, warm sheepskin throw on each seat adding to the coziness of this room and they do make you feel warmer on a cold January day like today. 

White poinsettias are the flower of the day, and I love the nostalgic feel they bring to the room.

 

And even though Christmas is over, the white poinsettias still look good here nestled in their plain paper bags.

Do you spot the pretty clear goblets with the etched Christmas tree design? I found a set of 6 of those at my favorite thrift store just before the holidays and fell in love with them!

 

It wasn’t until I got home that I realized they were from Neiman-Marcus! They are truly soooo elegant, and I just love the statement they make here with the small evergreen trees in the room and the muted bottlebrush trees on the table.  

 

The little sprigs of greenery on my chandelier are actually little evergreen wreaths that are sold as napkin rings. They’re the perfect size for the individual candlesticks of the chandelier.

 

The chunky chargers, also shown here, are from Antique Farmhouse. I added the dainty round eyelet placemats on top to soften the look.

 

The eyelet placemats and matching napkins are from Shabby Chic, and I found them both at Marshall’s!

 

Here’s the same room and table with a few little changes but still maintaining the beauty of winter white.

 

Here’s a tip for showcasing the poinsettias with a fun farmhouse cottage look… It's as simple as just popping them in a paper bag, cutting the bag to size, and tying with a pretty ribbon. No pots or baskets needed!! 

 

Armstrong Garden always has the best selection of poinsettias in the most unusual colors!

 

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.

January days...

 

January days…

 

I crave simplicity, a neutral palette and clarity in my home.

 

 

I keep coming back to this favorite look.

traditional home: gorgeous kitchens

 

I’m just popping in today to share some

amazing

kitchens I’ve recently seen in 

Traditional Home magazine.

As a true enthusiast of so many different styles,

I love seeing unique mixes of different design genres

creating true eclectic décor.

One thing I know for sure is

a kitchen has to be bright and cheerful,

afterall,

 that’s were many of us spend

a majority of our time!

One thing that’s most important is how a room 

makes you feel.

Add elements that you love,

but remember not to make your kitchen feel cluttered.

How can you not feel happy seeing this

beautiful light fixture?

Do you have anything special on your kitchen wish list?  

All these lovely photos are from Traditional Home magazine.

the most elegant pumpkin decor

Pumpkin season continues on into November with some of my favorite heirloom varieties that I bought several weeks ago at Armstrong Gardens. 

From the middle of September right on through to Thanksgiving, pumpkins have a dear place in my home. I have some of the prettiest ones displayed in my living room.

 

I always go for the soft muted tones of these gorgeous gourds, and it’s always fun to incorporate them onto a tablescape, mantel, sideboard or hutch.

 

I understand some of these varieties are also very delicious, so I’ll have to do a little more research and find out which ones work best for baking and roasting.

 

All I know is I love to see them in their full autumn glory here in the living room among the houseplants and books.  

 

This bumpy green one is just so beautiful! It reminds me of a cozy, chunky knit sweater, doesn’t it?

Enjoy the rest of the weekend, friends!

cottages and bungalow's fall issue

Hi, friends! It’s the middle of October, and I almost forgot to share a little peek at this amazing Cottages & Bungalows fall issue!

 

There’s a little surprise on pages 14 and 15… my first “Style it Right” article. 

In this feature, you can check out the new piece I found on Craigslist that I re-imagined with lots of white chalk paint.

 

Scroll down, and you can see how I’ve styled it for fall with some of my favorite vintage finds and autumn décor.

Here's a look at some of my favorite highlights from this issue…

a favorite new upcycled sideboard

 

I love a good DIY total transformation project, so today I’m finally sharing this favorite one I completed back in December. Thank goodness for loads and loads of white chalk paint, because this sideboard was covered in red paint from top to bottom.

 

Every surface including every inch of the drawers, the back of the piece, and even the bottom of this piece was sprayed with the brightest and thickest layers of red paint.

 

First, I removed the glass doors, because what I was really after for this piece was open shelving to house some of my props and favorite styling pieces.

 

Found on Craigslist, this sideboard was the exact size I needed for the room, and I could see through all the red paint to visualize what I truly wanted.

 

I also removed the handles, that were totally the wrong style and replaced them with chunky wooden knobs. A little wood filler patched up the holes in the drawers, and I drilled new ones for the new hardware.

Lastly, of course, I painted it with a soft white "Chalked" Paint. It took me several days to get at least five coats of paint on this piece, but I'm thrilled with the results. 

 

Now this piece is right at home with the rest of my furnishings and the roomy drawers and shelves hold so much! The top is also a great place to display some of my favorite collectables and acquisitions.

 

It’s also been pretty enough to be a “homey” background for some of my photo stylings. This is one of my latest shots of the new Seaside Collection from Pacific & Rose.

 

This sarong and all the other lovely home goods will be available on the website and at Seaside Gallery this weekend.

 

This Wave Pillow is one of my favorite new products and you saw it here first! It will be available at Seaside Gallery this weekend as well. This new Seaside Collection just arrived from India and is soooo perfect for summer.

 

Please check back on Monday, and I’ll have the whole collection featured for you to see. In addition to the Anchors and Waves, there’s also a fun Crab print and an elegant Palm print!

Doesn't this pillow look so pretty with the new and improved painted sideboard?

Here’s how this look came together. Everything is so budget friendly in this room. I have a few inherited pieces that I love, and I did splurge just before Christmas on a new white sofa, but even that was found at a consignment store!

 

Wishing you a lovely weekend, and I’ll look forward to seeing you again on Monday for all the latest on the gorgeous new Seaside Collection!
