Waco, Texas, is the center of all thingsChip and Joanna Gaines, but one space in the couple’sMagnolia headquarterswas far from their signature style.
She unveiled the final product — a cozy library where employees come to create all thingsMagnolia— in a new behind-the-scenesblog post.

In designing the forest green nook, Joanna envisioned something that felt like a “retreat from the day’s busyness.” The Magnolia founder added a plush sofa, plenty of seating and a couple of vignette tables for the perfect balance of comfort and functionality.
“I chose furniture and decor based on the two design styles I wanted in the room: modern and eclectic,” Joanna wrote in the post. “I chose a deep green tone for the room because I wanted the entire space to feel significant and dramatic right when you walked in.”
Last month, Joanna revealed plans for the next big Waco project on her blog: a coffee shop called“Magnolia Press”set to open in the fall.
In the post, she explained the meaning behind the name and expressed her hopes for it to symbolize what customers may experience inside.
“When our team brainstormed on the name we kept coming back to this idea of a french press and the slower (but very rewarding) process of making a rich, good cup of coffee,” she wrote. “It felt symbolic for what we hope people find here with us—a spot to slow down, to take it all in, and to simply savor the moment.”

TheWaco Tribune-Herald, which first reported the news in February, noted that the shop will offer a full-service coffee bar, fresh-baked pastries and an assortment of teas, with a to-go window and indoor-outdoor seating.
Located at 418 S. Eighth Street, Chip and Joanna’s new shop will be just a block away fromMagnolia Market at the Silos.
