My Favorite Items From The Hearth & Home Collection with Magnolia

November 6, 2017

Happy Monday friends. I hope you had a good weekend. My weekend was busy but I did get to enjoy a bit of down time. I also went to Target to see their newest collaboration with Chip and Joanna Gains of Fixer Upper fame.

The highly anticipated Hearth & Hand collection debuted online and in Target stores Sunday and design lovers like myself were quick to head to the store to see it in person.

Many of the Hearth & Hand items were designed with a farmhouse aesthetic but I was pleasantly surprised to find items that are versatile enough to work with other design styles.

The collection includes everyday decor, tabletop and kitchen items, plus Christmas decor. There is also a super cute pajama collection that is sure to sell out fast.

After seeing the collection in person, I rounded up some of my favorite pieces to share with you today.

MY FAVORITE ITEMS FROM THE HEARTH & HAND COLLECTION

1 // The brass Gather Napkin Rings are perfect for Thanksgiving and Christmas entertaining but are classic enough to use for year-round entertaining as well. $2.99 each.

2 // This black flatware is definitely my favorite item in the entire collection. I love the simple styling and matt black finish which give the flatware a classic, contemporary feel. The 5 piece place setting is $19.99.

3 // Have you noticed that cute spoon rest are hard to find? I like that this one won’t take up much space on the stove or counter. And its a great price too–$2.99.

4 // How cute are these black and white striped pot holders? This was another item on my ‘buy’ list but just like the spoon rest, it was sold out. $5.99

5 // I never knew I needed a kitchen scale until I spotted this one. I love the sleek design, black base and petite size which won’t clutter the kitchen counter. $14.99

6 // If you’re looking for a light weight yet cozy throw blanket, this black and white one is a good option. The green stitching along the edge is a nice design detail. $29.99 tip: it would be extra cute with some DIY pom poms or tassels on the corners.

7 // It was the unique shape and gold finish that sold me on these placecard holders. They’re perfect for a dinner table or I can see them being used as markers on a food buffet. $3.99 ea.

8 // These glass and gold candle holders are really pretty in person. A grouping of these would look great as part of a holiday centerpiece with candles or flowers. $16.99-$18.99

9 // I thought long and hard about purchasing these green glass vases. They are really substantial and the color is just beautiful. They would look pretty during the holidays with evergreen branches and white flowers. $16.99-$29.99

10 // All of the stockings in the Hearth & Hand collection were really cute but this one stood out to me. The addition of the green tassel add just the right holiday accent. $12.99

11 // I loved the size and quality of this Christmas mailbox and think it would be a nice tabletop accent during the holidays. It is crafted of iron and is pretty heavy so keep that in mind if you have thoughts of hanging it. $39.99

12 // This wide black and green plaid ribbon is my favorite ribbon in the Hearth & Hand collection. The colors and plaid design make it the perfect ribbon for wrapping mens gifts this holiday. $8.99

So there you have it, my top picks from the Hearth & Hand collection. I’d love to know if you did a little shopping this weekend at Target and which items are your favorite. Leave me a comment and spill the beans.

Head here to shop the entire Hearth & Hand with Magnolia collection.

update: Just as I was hitting publish on this post, I checked stock status and all of my favorite items except 6, 10 and 12 are sold out online.

Paint and Furniture From Magnolia Home

April 18, 2016

MAGNOLIA HOME

Are you a fan of the show Fixer Upper and/or Chip and Joanna Gaines? I sure am. It’s been fun to see how Chip and Joanna Gaines have grown their business and brand over the last few years and I’m excited about Joanna’s newest product introductions, Magnolia Home Paint and Magnolia Home Furniture.

First let me talk about the paint line…

Working with KILZ, Joanna has developed an interior paint collection that include 25 signature colors available in three finishes–Matte, Eggshell and Satin. In addition to interior wall paint, there is also a Cabinetry and Furniture paint available in 2 colors in a Semi-Glass sheen. Although not inexpensive ($40-$50 per gallon), the collection includes a great range of classic colors including lots of neutrals which is definitely the trend in interior colors these days.

One of the things I like about the paint collection is that Joanna kept the line true to her brand and developed colors that are timeless and easy to decorate around. And you just had to know that there would be a color called Ship Lap in the line. My favorite colors in the collection are Wedding Band, Rainy Days and Carter Creme.

All of the colors are reminiscent of colors that have been used on Fixer Upper so it will be easy to ‘get the look’ if it fits your style.

One of my favorite homes from this season was the Carriage House. The house was designed in a neutral color palette with pops of color to keep the design interesting, warm and inviting.

Always a winning combination….Neutral walls with accent colors used on architectural details and statement furniture pieces.

I will never get tired of a white and grey kitchen. The grey adds just the right amount of warmth and depth, and keeps the entire space from feeling stark.

And gray walls in a bedroom can feel causal and elegant at the same time.

Even the design of the paint cans is representative of the Magnolia Brand and I must say it’s pretty cool.

The interior paint collection is available in a 8 oz sample cans and also in a one-gallon size. The cabinetry and furniture collection is available in a quart and one-gallon size.

If you’re interested in trying the Magnolia Paint line, the only place you can currently buy it is through the Magnolia Market shop.

Cabinetry and Furniture Paint Collection

Another exciting launch for Magnolia Home happened last week with the introduction of the Magnolia Home Furniture Collection at the High Point Furniture Market. The furniture line in made up of 6 different collections, each with a distinct look. And each collection includes a range of items from bedroom furniture to living and dining room pieces.

Here are a few of my favorite pieces from the line:

This is the Traditional Double Pedestal Table and I just love the design and detail of the base.

I’m sure this Manor Straight Back Iron Canopy Bed will be a top seller for them.

And I love furniture that offers stylish storage like this Primitive Hardware Shop Dresser.

The furniture line began arriving in stores across the country last month so check your area to see it in person. Or you can view the full line here.

It’s evident from my visit to Magnolia Market last month in Waco and the new product launches from Chip and Joanna, the Magnolia Brand is here to stay. I can’t wait to see what’s next for Chip and Joanna and I’m already looking forward to the next season of Fixer Upper.

The Magic of Magnolia Market

April 11, 2016

Like many of you, I too have become a big fan of the HGTV design show Fixer Upper and Chip and Joanna Gaines. There is just something magical in the way they can transform a worn down house into a charming, personality filled home and make it look as easy as a summer afternoon in the south.

Since the odds of being on Fixer Upper or hanging out with Chip and Joanna are pretty slim, the next best thing for getting a little Magnolia magic is to visit their retail store in Waco, TX. I was thrilled when I got the chance to do just that at the beginning of the month.

Magnolia Market and the silos is a magical place. You can feel it the minute you enter the downtown area of Waco and begin to see the traffic building as the silos loom in the near distance.
