Has Joanna Gaines Gone Goop?

Gone are the farmhouse signatures that defined Jo’s early career. In their place: antique French doors from Portugal, restored and painted eggshell white, opening into three newly partitioned spaces—a conference area, a private office nook and an open corridor that doubles as an inspiration wall. In the conference zone, a reclaimed French oak dining table is surrounded by plush fold-style chairs, grounded by an Indian block-print rug. Just beyond, a white table-turned-desk anchors the office nook, paired with a linen and leather desk chair and two plush bouclé ottomans. Along the creamy walls, corkboard panels and an acrylic calendar create a functional mood board, layered with pinned swatches, florals and magazine tears. A few trailing plants add life to the palette, balancing the tailored symmetry with a touch of ease.

That tonal sophistication continues in Hoda’s entryway, where a vintage rug grounds a cream linen sofa, layered with tasseled throws and pillows in sun-faded neutrals. Centered in front, there’s an Italian-inspired marble coffee table, styled with open books, a brass tray and Magnolia’s signature ‘Fresh’ candle—an arrangement that feels more curated gallery than waiting room. The once-blank drop ceilings have been replaced with antique-inspired tin tiles, casting a soft gleam beneath a sculptural chandelier. It’s still inviting—you want to flop down with a cup of coffee—but the styling has swapped its flannel shirt for silk.

And then, of course, there’s the kitchenette—proof that even a coffee corner can go luxe. A mosaic tile backsplash offsets warm calacatta quartz countertops, adding a buttery softness to the custom cabinetry and gleaming brass latches. The same warm white used throughout the trim keeps the look cohesive, but it’s the details—a light-oak floating shelf, tailored cabinet “feet,” and SMEG appliances in a creamy finish—that make it feel more boutique hotel than break room. On the open shelf, scalloped plates and serving bowls are stacked neatly beside ribbed glass tumblers and grid-patterned napkins. It’s functional, yes—but styled with the kind of intention that makes you want to linger, latte in hand.
