Magnolia

This new magazine from TV couple Chip and Joanna Gaines focuses on seasonal ideas for life, garden, and home. Each quarterly issue identifies a thought-provoking virtue (gratitude, confidence, hospitality ...) and delivers stories that inspire readers to pursue it intentionally in their own lives. Regular features include personal essays by Chip and Jo, ideas for entertaining and family activities, recipes, gardening, decorating, and much more--all beautifully packaged with the signature Magnolia style.

Magnolia

A Letter from the Editor

Magnolia Post: Perspective • Looking back at twenty years of Magnolia

Second Thought • A SINGLE BREAK IN OUR EVERYDAY PATTERNS HOLDS POTENTIAL TO UNLOCK AND OPEN OUR MINDS.

The Great Yard Cleanup with Spruce the Squirrel • When we tend, tidy, and prep, what seems like the yard’s final bow becomes a backdrop for delight—for this season and the ones to come.

Crust & Comfort • Take in the scent. Crack the crust. Embrace a familiar comfort. As the steam rises up from the inside of a perfect pot pie, it’s a simple reminder that food can find flavor in nostalgia.

Today Is Grand Enough • Open the drawers and cabinets. Dust off the china. Call it a feast.

Tied & True • Standing the test of time, bandanas are practical by nature—with a well-worn beauty, too. Here’s a look at this playful, patterned mark of style and the many forms it takes.

Seed to Sapling • Even the biggest oak trees start small, and sprouting one from an acorn reminds us lasting growth isn’t won overnight.

Double Take • In the Hudson Valley, a designer infuses her old-world aesthetic into a 1990s Colonial. The result? A family home brimming with personality.

A Jar of Good Things in Plain Sight Encourages Us to Celebrate Moments Big & Small

Becoming Small • Through the lens of David Bird’s tiny creations, a backyard becomes extraordinary.

Caramel Apples • The idea for caramel apples was seeded more than 70 years ago as an experiment to repurpose leftover candies with fall’s most celebrated fruit. The result was iconic: crisp, tart apples dipped in creamy caramel, often rolled in crushed candies or salted nuts. Today, there are unlimited ways you can dress up your orchard haul—every one of them making your shift into the season that much sweeter.

It Starts with a Spark • DESIGN TEAM TARA MANGINI AND PERCY BRIGHT OF JERSEY ICE CREAM CO. SHOW US THAT WHEN WE LET A SINGLE SOURCE GUIDE THE DESIGN OF A SPACE, A PERSONAL POINT OF VIEW TAKES SHAPE.

A Note from Jo: A Collected Perspective

May We Never Get So Used to Seeing Things from Our One Point of View

In With the Old • INSPIRED BY THE ENGLISH COUNTRYSIDE AND FILLED WITH THOUGHTFUL NATURAL DETAILS, THIS FAMILY’S CENTURY-OLD COLONIAL IN KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, IS A COZY HAVEN THAT WELCOMES SLOWER LIVING.

The Sweeter Side of Potatoes • WE CAN ALL FIND SOMETHING TO CELEBRATE WHEN WE TAP INTO OUR SWEET SIDE. JUST LOOK AT SWEET POTATOES. FILLED WITH NUTRITION AND EVEN A FEW SURPRISES, THE UNSUNG SPUD BRINGS UNEXPECTED APPEAL TO DISHES OF ALL SHAPES AND FLAVORS—FROM SAVORY SIDES TO DESSERT.

A Part and a Place: The Supper Club • It’s more than a shared meal.

Behold the State Fair

With Clear Eyes

Framing Our View • WINDOWS CONNECT US TO THE OUTSIDE WORLD AND TRANSFORM OUR HOMES—INSIDE AND OUT.
