Magnolia Market Haul

How is everybody?

I thought I'd show you what we got at Magnolia Market at the Silos. 

  I spotted this pillow and knew that it would be the perfect springboard for a summer bedroom look.

Yellow is not one of the colors in my stash of decor items but I've wanted to try it for a while. 

I loved this hobnail vase. 

Typically this is a vintage style is seen in milk glass but this is a perfect little yellow accent. 

 The little yellow Ranunculus is a perfect match.

Wreathes are signature Joanna Gaines so this one came home with us.

These two tin pieces are cute. 

A cake stand is another Magnolia staple. 

The vintage cursive poster was a must have for a teacher and it was only $4.00 or so.

It will end up in my classroom. 

The world poster is for Bill's office. 

We also popped into Harp Design Co. 

It is the storefront owned by the furniture designer from the show. 

 We tried to pick up iconic Clint Harp designs. 

We wanted something that you couldn't really get anywhere else.

Is the initial made from shiplap?

For some reason I doubt it but everything Clint Harp makes is from reclaimed lumber. 

I'm thrilled to finally have a ladder for throws.
There you have it. 

That's our haul. 

I'll show where I put it all in another post. 

Have a wonderful weekend.

A Trip To Magnolia Market

After an extended session of Fixer Upper binge watching, Bill expressed an interest in going to Magnolia Market in Waco.

It's a date!

He was off on Monday so we made the trip down I-35.

Waco is only an hour and a half away from our house. 

We've been to Waco many times over the years.

 The silos have stood for a century giving a nod to the agricultural past of this Central Texas town. 

Chip and Joanna Gaines have turned the mill of an abandoned cotton seed company into their new retail space.

We couldn't wait to go shopping. 

The shopping is not in the silos for your FYI. 

There is a guest book to record visitors from all over the place.

This is a perfect title for a book. 

Darling is what I call my babies at work.

We got some cute, cute stuff which I'll reveal in another post.

I didn't take photos inside the store but there were many photo opportunities outside.

There were beautiful flowers.

This planter made out of something from the original grain elevator is super cute.

Bill and I have wanted to do a galvanized planter.

Note to self - the tree makes it proportional.

They are about to open a garden shop on the property.

I love the fairy gardens.

We ate at Schmaltz's for lunch. 

Yummy. 

After lunch we went to Harp Design Co.

Clint Harp and his wife have a little store front.  

We found out that Clint Harp has filmed his own pilot for the DIY Network.

It should air around June. 

We found a few things to bring home. 

The craftsmanship on this house from Season 1 is impeccable.

My favorite shop in Waco was closed.

They are only open one weekend a month and I can't ever remember which weekend.  

This is the perfect junk shop and has been featured numerous times on the show.  

We went for a drive down Austin Avenue to look at the cute houses. 

I've never noticed this adorable bridge. 

A Spanish revival has been purchased by the Gaines' but is up for sale through Magnolia Realty.

In complete Fixer Upper stalker mode, we got coffee from Common Grounds.  

We were the oldest people in the place.

It is a true college hangout.

The inside is so cool.

We could see this storm rolling into Ft. Worth on the way home.

Waco has been famous a couple of times. 

You may remember the Branch Davidian standoff of the 1990s.

Waco is famous again because of the show.

Bill and I met a couple outside of the Harp Design Co. 

They had driven down from Missouri and had planned to stay a week.

I'm not sure that there is a weeks worth of stuff to do in Waco at the moment. 

 This town is ripe for an influx of economic development so I hope there will be more to do in the future. 

Everything was smaller than it appears on T.V. 

We didn't have to wait in line but this place was hopping for a Monday morning.  

 The shop was darling. You won't find anything old or repurposed. 

It's all new merchandise but it is iconic Joanna Gaines.  

It was a great day!

Come back for a peek at our treasures.

Must Have Decorating Elements from HGTV's Hit Show

It's no secret that I'm wild about the T.V. show, Fixer Upper.
Do you love it as well?  
Joanna's style is Farmhouse with a touch of Industrial.
 I began adding in elements of Farmhouse Style into our decor about 4 years ago. 
 Here is my list of must have decorating essentials to get a Farmhouse look. 
Almost every one of these can be see in the majority of the episodes
These images are my way of incorporating classic motifs from the show into our rooms. 

  1.  Metal sconces on the wall.

  
I have a mix of vintage and new.

 

 2. Metal containers used as vases

My metal vase is the lining to an old ice cream freezer. 

 

3. Big clocks

 4. Greenery that looks freshly clipped from the yard.

5. Architectural salvage

Windows, doors or any other piece of salvage will do. 

6. Wooden Trays, Crates and Troughs

Read about the tray that I made from old bed slats-here.

7. Wooden cutting boards

Most of mine are vintage but I see these all the time at Tuesday Morning and Walmart.

8. Chalk boards

This one is a print from An Evening With Joanna Gaines.

9. Fabulous Fireplace Makeovers

 

  

 10. Letters

You may have already seen one of these lists floating around Pinterest.
If you haven't, I'm thrilled you found this one.
Some of those links seem a little sketchy, if you ask me.  
Elements of Farmhouse Style are available for purchase at many retailers.  
Happy hunting,

Katie
