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who bought the house with her former husband Joe Manganiello, led an extensive makeover that transformed the once-outdated property into a welcoming, richly decorated space brimming with antiques and personal details.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

gingham and ruffles for Easter

Who else loves a little gingham? I’m feeling so inspired today with the sights and sounds of spring all around me, and this new gingham tablecloth from Solino Home inspires all kinds of flowers and bunnies to join the fun at this Easter table setting.

 

To add more interest to this lovely lilac gingham pattern, I’ve paired it with a set of Sky Blue Linen Gabrielle Ruffle Napkins to add a whimsical touch to each place setting.

These Gabrielle Ruffle Napkins truly have my heart, and they come in dozens of gorgeous colors!! I think that the Pink Lemonade color and the versatile Light Natural color are next on my wish list!

They're 100% linen, so soft and luxurious and best of all, they're machine washable.

 

Both the linen gingham tablecloth and linen ruffle napkins are part of the new Solino Home Spring Collection, and they have so many pretty choices that would be lovely here in the breakfast room.

 

This is where we eat most of our meals, so I always want to bring in a little bit of a cozy vintage feel to this space. 

Gingham is the epitome of "cozy" and timelessness that can transcend every season and holiday and always puts a big smile on my face!

Are you as excited as I am that spring is finally here?

Aren’t these green egg cups so cute? I recently found them on Amazon and they’re quite affordable. I think they look very vintage… don’t you?

 

This is a classic way to instantly set a beautiful table, and it’s soooo very easy when you start with pretty table linens like this Lilac Gingham Tablecloth and Sky Blue Gabrielle Ruffle Napkins. 

You then simply add your favorite plates, glasses and flatware. A few lovely bouquets of cottage garden flowers always help to brighten the table. 

 

Creating an ambiance is all about paying attention to the little details and making your guests feel welcome and comfortable.

 

Enjoy your spring dining experience!

a Peter Rabbit table in the veg garden

Many of us have grown up loving dear Peter Rabbit and many of the other adorable Beatrix Potter characters. 🐇

 

With Easter seeming to be on the far-off horizon for 2025, it’s not until April 20^th, it’s always fun to start planning ahead.

So today, I'm sharing a tablescape that is very dear to my heart... a Peter Rabbit themed table for Easter. 

 

I've taken some of my favorite aspects of this endearing and timeless story by Beatrix Potter and put my own spin on it.

For me, the jumping off point is the backdrop of my treasured vegetable garden.

 

How perfectly enchanting for this do be the place for Peter to do his frolicking in.

 

And check out these lovely blue and white Peter Rabbit transferware dishes that I recently found at Home Goods.

 

Isn't this the perfect spot for a little cup of chamomile tea? 🐰

 

This table is a mix of favorite English style items that I cherish, like this beautiful antique ironstone tea pot. 

A few little topsy-turvy terracotta pots add to the allure of Peter hopping to and fro on this table.

 

Ooooops! There’s the watering can! Could Peter be hiding in there?

Aren’t these ornamental cabbages delightful? I get them every year at Armstrong’s, and I’m always drawn to the bright, vivid pink and green color combinations that their leaves feature.

 

Did you notice the little bunny napkin rings? I found them here at Arthur Court. The pretty linen napkins are from All Cotton and Linen. 

 

For a slightly different set up in the veg garden, I’ve added a few little cupcakes with edible pansies for dessert.

The prettiest and most charming flowers in my garden right now are these Edible Pansies from Armstrong Garden Center. They can add that ‘wow’ factor to any plate.

 

This is my favorite way to add a little touch of the garden to a favorite dessert, and it couldn’t be easier than using something as simple as these mini store-bought cupcakes.

Pansies like this make it so easy to add fresh, edible blooms to your baked goods, salads and charcuterie, because they just keep blooming and blooming!

Pansies have a pretty mild flavor, and even if you’re not interested in eating them, you can still include these edible violas as a garnish.

Here are a few other beautiful ways to use fresh pansy flowers:

🌸Press them into soft cheeses

🌸Use them to garnish deviled eggs

🌸Bake them into tea cookies

🌸Make candied pansies

🌸Freeze them into ice cubes with other edible flowers

🌸Add to the top of a salad after tossing

 

 

 

 

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.
