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.

10 years of blogging


Blue and white in my home 


The ten-year mark of the day I started my blog was way back in May of this year. It came and went without much thought, as I may have had other things on my mind with this whole pandemic going on and all.  

The idea that I’ve been writing this blog for a whole decade was packed away somewhere in the back of my brain until recently when I noticed that I was approaching the 1600 mark for number of blog posts I’ve published.

I really love sharing my favorite things with all of you. Over the years, I’ve stayed true to writing about and photographing fun tablescapes, local field trips, holiday décor (especially pumpkins, I guess!), recipes, pretty gardens, interior design, and every year of the Newport Harbor Home Tour. 

Sure, my style has changed and evolved, but the one thing that hasn’t changed is my love for sharing here on the blog, and I’m so grateful for all of you who stop by for a visit.   

This is the official 1600th blog post I’m sharing with you all today. I thought it would be appropriate to highlight some of the more popular posts from each year, starting in 2011. (Here's a peek at my first blog post.) 

Just click on each photo,  
and that will take you back to the original blog post.
