Magnolia House

Keeping with the black and white theme from yesterday, I wanted to share Chip and Joanna Gaines' new B & B in the small town of McGregor, just outside of Waco, Texas.

As the hosts of the reality show 'Fixer Upper', they have gone from strength to strength since their first season on HGTV in 2013.

Now in their third season, they have expanded their business to include the purchase of the Silos which holds their Magnolia Market and will include a bakery by this spring.  Joanna personally finds everything sold at the market such as home decor, antiques, signature clothing and designs by local artisans.

Besides their realty business, construction company, design and renovation show, they have recently renovated a landmark home just outside of Waco which will be a B & B for anyone wishing to visit Waco and check out their wares and homes.

They have remodeled this century home to look like their own farmhouse, so if you have seen their farmhouse, this will look familiar.  To see more of the renovations, go here.  To shop their Magnolia Market, go here.

Oh, and did I mention they have 4 children under the age of 11?  Yes, they do!  A very busy couple indeed.

Moodboard Monday - Black and White

Good morning, everyone - and happy new year.  I hope you all had a wonderful and relaxing holiday and are all rested and ready for the new year.

According to the current issue of Veranda magazine, black and white is the 'mood of the moment'!

As I am not typically a 'black and white' lover when it comes to interiors and decor, it surprised me a little.  However, as I began to research and pay more attention to the color scheme, I realized it is a very hot commodity right now.  So much black and white!!  Everywhere!

One of the pins I have posted here was pinned over 4,000 times......I don't recall seeing any other pin shared so many times.  There were black and white baby showers (not your typical baby colors, but abundant), weddings, candy - you name it - I could go on and on.

The interiors shots I've included are mostly contemporary designs with Wendy Valliere's own bedroom and bath being the most traditional of the lot.

For this moodboard, I've chosen a few of my favorites in art, interiors, fashion, jewelry, stunning designs in cakes, adorable dogs and quotes........all very appealing (and some downright beautiful) for the person who enjoys this monochromatic look.  So nice, in fact, it may inspire some to see black and white from a completely different point of view and inspire others to incorporate the scheme in a whole new way into their own homes and lives.  So, whether it inspires you or simply gives you a few moments of pleasure perusing the images, it is worth checking out.

I know it has gotten my attention!

Enjoy!
