joanna gaines entertains

Joanna Gaines, the "Queen Bee" of HGTV, knows how to set a table for her friends! She starts with a eucalyptus and herb runner down the center of her table and also embellishes her chandelier the same way. 

Soft peach colored cabbage roses and ranunculus are then added to the table.

Tall brass candlesticks provide plenty of ambiance  and drinks are served in stylish mason jars. 

Each place setting is anchored by a rustic wooden bread board, and an elegant white napkin. 

  

Isn't it charming how each guest gets their own set of gourmet condiments to add to the lunch baguette? Such a sweet little gathering! Joanna, how do you do it? 

Isn’t this the cutest paper doll showing some of Joanna’s favorite fashion choices? Seen in Country Living magazine.

While I’m here today, I wanted to share some of my "Tablescaping Essentials" with you. I have a whole page on the Amazon website with my favorite picks for setting a beautiful table.

Quite often time is of the essence, and I have last minute projects or events to work on, so I turn to Amazon for one or two day delivery. You’d be surprised at how many amazing items they have to offer! And I'm constantly updating this page with my new favorites.

joanna gaines' new she shed

Did you happen to see this week’s

episode of Fixer Upper where they build and design

a new garden shed,

garden and chicken coop for their own farm?

I think it’s my all-time favorite show

 that they’ve ever done.

The inspiration for the she shed is the huge diamond-paned window that she’s been storing in her massive warehouse filled with amazing flea market finds.

The vintage doors are pretty spectacular too!

And Chip created the gorgeous fireplace.

Aren’t the tomato plants on the ledge cute?

It’s more than just a shed,

it’s a sanctuary and a meeting place for close friends.

Joanna has garden books

and accessories close at hand.

The outdoor garden area is just as

spectacular

as the inside of the garden shed.

An arched arbor filled with growing vines

is the gateway to and from the shed.

Everything I’ve ever wanted in a

garden is right here!

You can see the fabulous doors here,

behind Chip & Joanna.

And, of course, nearby, under an old oak tree

is a cozy farmhouse table for alfresco dining.

So cute!

The chicken coop is equally as beautiful as

 the rest of the garden and the shed.

You know herbs are my favorites!

And lots of pea gravel divides the outdoor spaces.

Chip and Joanna have also been

very busy  with a new project.

 They’re opening new restaurant named

magnolia table later this year.

Here’s how it’s coming together so far…

Let me know if you’ve watched this episode yet

and what you think about the whole project.

Even if you’re not a “garden person”,

you have to admit that shed is pretty darn cute!

the joanna gaines & jennifer lopez project

Word on the street is that Fixer Upper super fan Jennifer Lopez has hired Joanna Gaines to remodel her new Malibu Beach house that she shares with bf Alex Rodriguez. Pictures don’t lie… 

here’s the dynamic duo checking out the digs from the beach side.

One can only imagine how spectacular this home will turn out, as money probably will be no object. What J Lo wants, J Lo gets! And now she and A Rod have "JoGa" to help make this dream into a reality!

Here’s a little Fixer Upper inspo of what some of the elements of this amazing project might include, taken from some of Joanna’s Texas projects, but with that definitive Malibu Beach vibe!
