Like it did for so many of us, the COVID-19 pandemic changed Chip and Joanna Gaines’s plans. Their new television network, Magnolia, was supposed to launch in 2020. It is now on hold until further notice, but that didn’t stop the duo, who rose to fame renovating houses on their HGTV show Fixer Upper, from getting to work creating some of the content. A selection of programming originally meant for the network launch has been slowly rolling out on the new streaming service Discovery+, including Magnolia Table, Joanna’s new cooking show, which she filmed during the pandemic.
“We went through all the [necessary] things from a production standpoint to make sure we were being tested weekly. I felt super safe on-set. It was almost like the cooking show crew was our quarantine family,” she says. “It is hard because we are still in [the pandemic]. But it has forced a lot of creativity out of a lot of us. I swear if it were any other year we would just get into it. Now, I feel like things can be more thoughtful and intentional.”
The end result is a show that is incredibly down to earth and relaxed, and is really more about getting to know the Gaines family in a new way than it is about teaching cooking techniques. Cooking is a passion, but design is really Gaines’s forte, which is clear from her on-set kitchen, with its bare stone walls juxtaposed with top-of-the-line appliances for an interesting look that stands out from other cooking shows.
Below, Gaines shares more about designing her TV kitchen, the new recipes she’s working on, and more.
Architectural Digest: When designing the set for Magnolia Table, where did you start?
Joanna Gaines: The Gristmill, where the show is filmed, is this old piece of history. Late 1800s. For me, when I was thinking about the design, I just wanted it to be completely authentic to what it was. So as we researched and dug deep, we heard there was a whole interior of rock. We started getting into it and taking all the drywall off. All the beams that were painted, we sanded down so you could see the raw wood…and then just updating it with the new cabinets and brass hardware. I wanted it to feel really textural and simple and clean.
It totally looks like you are in some kind of natural structure, but then you have a really fancy stove.
Which they told me I must call a range! Even now, I watched the cooking show a couple of times, and I said stove about 10 times. I’m like, Oh shoot!
The kitchen was designed facing out, with filming in mind.
