Joanna’s store in Waco, Magnolia, has a great way of promoting her décor. She put them on this cute card called Joanna’s design essentials. Here it is!
In case you can’t read it:
Joanna uses these artfully in her designs and sells all of these in her store!
Fixer Upper on HGTV is fun to watch and get lots of ideas!
My Daughter, Courtney, gave me a trip to Waco for Valentines. Why Waco, you ask? That is where our favorite show, Fixer Upper on HGTV, is filmed! Our first stop on this beautiful day, Magnolia. This is Joanna’s retail store and we had to see it!
As you can see, it is really cute. Joanna wasn’t there! Probably best, I’m sure I would have embarrassed myself! Her staff was so friendly and helpful. Since she gets lots of shoppers, Joanna has this postcard of her favorite stops in Waco.
All this driving and shopping made us hungry, so we stopped at Lula Jane’s, a quirky little lunch spot that was just right. We had tomato soup, focaccia, and pimento cheese. Yummy!
On our way to our last stop, we passed all the food trucks! We will definitely remember this for our next trip.
Next, an old converted warehouse with lots of shops and restaurants. Perfect!
Spice Village had all kinds of wonderful goodies! See for yourself…
We shopped until we (almost dropped, I was the one who was dropping)
As we are driving on a back road to Granbury and discussing our wonderful day I saw this!
This is where Joanna lives! Well I guess we are star struck! If you like to decorate check out Fixer Upper!
Waco, we will be back soon and thank you Courtney for a wonderful day!
Here are some trends we are seeing
• Checks …
•Valances
•Gold Fixtures
•Cowhide
•Wallpaper
We love checks! They can mix with almost anything, solids, stripes and florals. Overscaled (buffalo checks) are really fun used in unexpected colors!
Valances are back in surprising fabrics. We like stripes and geometrics. It puts a fresh twist on a classic.
Bright gold with a sleek finish is everywhere! Feel free to mix and match finish colors, or go bold with all gold!
Cowhide has found it’s way into pillows,throws and even artwork. It adds a great accent texture.
Wallpaper is really making a statement this year from textured coverings to digital prints. It has taken the place of the solid painted accent wall!
Well there you have it. Try some of these in a little or a big way…you will love it!
