Sophia “Sophie” Stone (right) was born in Thessaloniki, Greece, but grew up in West Palm Beach, where her father made custom furniture for 40 years. Inspired by his creations, she became an interior designer and founded her own company in 2006. Last fall, she launched chateausophie.com, an online boutique of vintage home decor items, and women’s and children’s fashions, all handpicked by Stone.
10 obsessions
Historical Inspiration
The Renaissance period in Europe: The brilliance in art, architecture, interior design, fashion and craftsmanship during that time was paramount.
Second Home
Santorini, Greece. It’s the only place where you can fall in love (or rediscover it), write a novel and discover the meaning of life—even if you’re not looking for it.
It’s a Wrap
Diane von Furstenberg’s wrap dresses accentuate small waists and beautify the rest in fashion-forward yet classic style.
Shopping Spot
Our very own Antique Row rivals any decorator’s destination for unique, high-quality home decor in the United States—or even Europe.
Skin Saver
Journée Bio-restorative Day Cream by Neocutis. It’s definitely the best moisturizer for my combination skin.
Quick Bite
Chicken salad stuffed pita at Sandwiches by the Sea. Quite possibly the best sandwich in “my” world.
Favorite Gadget
There’s nothing romantic about typing, so when they invented the Smartpen, I literally cried with joy. Seeing the written word, especially on paper, still excites the heart.
On Her Playlist
Is it possible for Depeche Mode, Duran Duran, Tears for Fears and U2 to become one huge superband? Because I’m obsessed with all of them.
Regular Routine
Friday night strolls down Worth Avenue. It’s a family tradition: My mother started it when I was a little girl.
(Re)Reading
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, for the millionth time. I feel like I married my very own Mr. Darcy.
