What happens when one of my favorite designer/DIY’er and an awesome paint company collaborate? Something very magical called Magnolia Home from Joanna Gaines.
Yep, last week, the magic happened while I was on vacation. Designer Joanna Gaines teamed up with Kilz paint to launch her new paint line called Magnolia Home Paint and I couldn’t be more excited or more impressed with the collection. I had no idea she was even working on a paint line.  This woman is seriously doing it all and I’m just loving it! 🙂
**Update 10/6/16– Joanna just released and expanded the paint line to include 150 colors!!
Just look at these stunning and rich colors:
I’m not surprised in the least by how Joanna really nailed these colors and created something so fresh and beautiful. Â Honestly, I wish more designers would do boutique collections because they really know and understand color in a more realistic and live-able way.
Joanna’s colors are all perfection and I think it’s especially smart that she partnered with Kilz, who makes the best paint primer on the market. Â I haven’t tried the paint yet, since it just came out but I can only imagine just how great it is with Kilz and Joanna collaborating.
The paint is available at the moment only on Joanna Gaines online store called Magnolia Market here. I was reading that select furniture retailers may be carrying it down the line.  Not quite sure what that means long term and since it just launched, it’s a little to early to see where it will be sold. I’m sure if it does well from the launch, a big box store will most certainly try and carry it.
Here’s a closer look at some of the colors. Â They just look so rich in depth and simply stunning! (these are my favs):
Rainy Days (I could see this color in a bath or bedroom)
Americana Egg (Maybe a great open concept color?)
Wedding Band  (another great looking all over color)
Blackboard (I’m obsessed with this black with gray undertone.  Absolute perfection!!)
I’m so excited that I’m going to head up the road to the Silos and Magnolia Market in Waco in the next week and pick up a couple colors.  I will keep you guys posted and share my thoughts after I try it! 🙂
In the meantime, you can read all about the paint and order it online at Magnolia Market here.
By the way, I have been sharing a lot of beautiful paint and design inspiration regularly on The Creativity Exchange’s Facebook page here, if you want to follow along!
Thanks so much for stopping by friends!
Cheers!

My can of Magnolia Green should be here tomorrow to test on lower kitchen cabinets.
Cyndy says
Ohhhh, that Magnolia Green is GORGEOUS! I would LOVE for you to send me a pic! Fingers crossed that it’s perfect for you! 🙂
Adrienne Seal says
I will, Cyndy.

I love Fixer Upper too and am amazed at both Joanna’s talent and the ways they are expanding their brand – wow! These are beautiful, calm, serene colors for the most part. I don’t really see much yellow undertones (which I don’t care for anyway) but would like to hear your thoughts on this. Are they cool or more balanced like some of the perfect neutrals you’ve shown us?
Also you helped me awhile back with my master bath and asked me to let you know what I picked: Stonington Gray BM with SW Pure White trim. With my new black cabinets and almondish floor, brushed nickel fixtures, it pulls the perfect gray out of my 25 year old cultured marble countertops and jetted tub (could not afford to replace) in this huge bathroom with two windows and a skylight. I have teal and sea green accents. People have walked in and thought the counters were brand new!!! Thanks again so much for your help! Your blog brings such joy to my day?
Cyndy says
I am so glad that you came back to tell me your color picks Gloria! Wow, sounds so fabulous! High five!! The absence of strong yellow undertones and more evenly balanced transitional colors is why I have been obsessed with Joanna’s line. You don’t see that perfect balance that often in paint lines/collections. Of course, she totally gets it that balanced transitional colors are the most livable. Makes me adore her even more! Also, you’re very observant noticing that balance!! Love it!! 🙂
Gloria Anderson says
Thanks so much!!! I am learning so much from your blog but don’t quite totally trust my eye yet with this balance thing & wanted your opinion about this. Since Joanna is SOOOO popular, I wonder how/if her new line will affect other paint lines and the color trends?? So jealous that you are near enough to Waco to visit Magnolia!!! Thanks again, Cyndy!!! 🙂

Would these work on a front door or just interior surfaces?
Alissa says
The line is a mix of interior, exterior and cabinetry paint! The exterior paint would be perfect for you front door!
Tina Carlson says
I was at Magnolia this past Wednesday and they didn’t have the paint in stock yet, but are hoping to have it sometime in May. I was really hoping to see it in person. The colors look perfect! And I love Magnolia Market!

Quick question @thecreativityexchange We are using Repose Grey in our home/Kitchen. We are looking to use the @joannagaines cabinetry paint collection for our cabinets and are struggling with True White vs. Shiplap as you can not buy the cabinet samples. Have you seen either? The shiplap appears more of a tan online but I hear it has more white tones. Any help would be appreciated before we buy 3 gallons! Thanks!
Cyndy says
I would encourage you to go True White for contrast because Shiplap is so close to Repose. Even if you are looking for having close to the same color in walls/cabinetry, I do not think the undertones are the same, so they would fight. I would keep it safe or be even safer and go with a Benjamin Moore/Sherwin Williams color that you can sample. You never know, both Magnolia colors may not work or be what you’re looking for. If you are open to sampling a Benjamin Moore or Sherwin Williams color, I would point you to either SW Eider White first and if that doesn’t work, sample BM Paper White. Both of those colors would contrast beautifully because while white, they have same undertone as Repose. If you want even whiter, for sure Decorator’s White BM. I hope this helps and keep me posted on what you decide to do! 🙂
Kristie says
Thank you! I think we will go with our initial decision to go with True White. We are using the BM decorators white for trim but we’re trying to find a color more specialized towards cabinetry paint. it’s nerve racking painiting our cabinets so we need all the help we can get. Have you used other interior paints for cabinets before?
Cyndy says
Oh yes! That’s all I use for cabinetry is a good latex from Sherwin Williams with Floetrol in it (extender/hardener). Last time we painted the cabinets over 10 years ago and they still look like they were just painted. If you mix in Floetrol with any latex, it makes it so durable! Hope that helps!
Kristie says
Good to know! Do you have a step by step blog post on this I’m missing? I’m assuming you sanded down and maybe primed as well? I’ve spent all day degreasing trim before sanding the doors. Keep telling myself “It will pay off, It will pay off”. Of course we’re doing all of this in the mix of a remodel of painting/flooring. SW paint would be a nice option if I can pull it off as flawlessly as you can! I so appreciate all of your input, thank you for taking the time to respond! I so appreciate all of your input, thank you for taking the time to respond
Cyndy says
I don’t have a step-by-step tutorial but yes, you will want to use a fine sanding sponge to take the edge off first. Then degloss with a liquid deglosser. Allow 45-60 minutes for deglosser to dry. Then prime (a light to medium coat). Then you will want to take the edge off of the primer by going over completely dried primer with fine sanding sponge. Nothing major, just take the edge off the brush ridges. Talk with the guys at Sherwin Williams to choose the best paint for what you are doing and I suspect they will suggest latex enamel. Buy a liquid latex extender while you’re there (I forgot the name of SW’s brand) but it’s awesome. The extender is identical to Floetrol which eliminates brush marks and has a hardener in it to make it more durable. Follow the directions completely on the extender container. A word of warning, when you use an extender mixed in with your paint, it dries really uneven and weird because it self levels (eliminating brush marks) so don’t freak out. You’ll be thinking that you did something wrong but an hour later, you will be so blown away! 🙂 You got this Kristie! Don’t cut corners and do everything I mention and your cabinets will look gorgeous! Keep me posted and I’m here if you have a question! 🙂

where can we buy locally…Lowe’s, Home Depot? I live near Seattle.
Stacy Hardwicke says
I’m curious and just order several peel and stick paint samples, but I only see an interior, trim and cabinetry and chalk paint line. I’m wanting to paint my front door. Do you think the cabinetry paint would be the right choice. I also am having a really hard time coming up with a color choice. Any advice would be great. The house is a 70’s Chicago red brick. I was thinking a dark color like the repurpose color. I’m horrible at picking out colors thats why right now every room in my house is blah neutral off white.
Nikki says
Is there anywhere I can find the matching names of the paint color swatches and the ones in the stock photo with the paintbrushes? I LOVE four of those colors and want to create a home palette around them (maybe), but I’m not sure which they are.
