The Inspiration Behind Our Cottage Collection

While fall was still a glimmer on the horizon, our team began dreaming of the many autumnal traditions that center around food. Those recipes and flavors we love so much that we might start enjoying them before the season arrives. (We won’t tell if you do, too.) Our kitchens become the place to be during these months. So we wanted to design a batch of tools, bakeware, serving dishes, and more that could help us find new ways to return to familiar rhythms. After all, even in ritual and routine, fresh discoveries await.

A Collection of Berry Recipes

Summer in a nutshell: It’s a warm day. The sky is clear and the sunscreen applied. You’re headed off to fill baskets of bright berries—at the farmer’s market or straight from the vines—to snack on or save and bake later. The only thing on the agenda is to savor every hour and, naturally, indulge in something sweet.

Taste has a way of bottling up these fond memories and transporting us back, whenever we’d like. Below we’ve gathered nostalgic, berry-forward desserts that celebrate the season in all its bounty. Crisps and cobblers. Pies and popsicles. These recipes are easy to customize with your favorite seasonal fruits—blueberries, strawberries, cherries, and more. Follow along for inspiration on how to reclaim this season’s simple joys. They’re ripe for the picking.

What to Do for Your Garden in the Summer

Summer may not be the time you typically think of to start growing. Maybe you’ve tended to outdoor spaces for a few months now—or even planted certain crops back in the fall. However, we believe this season is primed for flourish, and it’s never too late to dig your hands into the soil and watch something new take root.

What’s more, certain plants thrive in warmer weather. And for some gardens, the summertime could be preferred for the region and hardiness zone (like for those of you who experience snow in May). Regardless of where you are in your journey, follow along for a garden maintenance checklist, easy DIY projects—and, of course, the right tools for the task. In due time, with a little patience and perseverance, you’ll reap the benefits and experience beauty in bloom.

Let’s begin!

Where the Light Goes: A Guide to Lamps

A soft glow next to your favorite reading chair. A warm ambiance when you enter the kitchen. A gentle sparkle in the corner. Lighting is the magic in a room. It beckons you inward, illuminating other details and evoking a feeling of home.

From placement to purpose (plus, scroll to the bottom for a brief intro to bulbs), this guide is all about lamps—also known as task lighting. These pieces practically create small pools of light for a specific area, while offering a bit of beauty too. Easy to update, lamps are a great way to refresh the mood of a space. If you’re looking for ideas on how to style them at home, keep reading to get inspired for everywhere the light can go.

How to Keep a Well-Stocked Kitchen + Pantry

Setting yourself up for success in the kitchen looks a lot like preparation. It’s one thing to have a bunch of cookbooks—and another to feel empowered to open one on a whim and get cooking. A well-stocked pantry gives you that confidence. Tools for the task. Ingredients at the ready. Equipped and assured, you’ll find it easier to say “yes, chef!” (to yourself) whenever inspiration strikes.

That brings us to this guide. Over the years, we’ve found certain items come up time and again in our cooking—Joanna’s too. So we’ve pored through our shopping lists, as well as Jo’s Magnolia Table cookbooks, to define what we consider to be the essentials. By keeping your own “capsule” kitchen, you’ll make room for more creativity in the culinary process since you won’t be worried about what you do or don’t have on hand. After all, time in the kitchen is about more than measurements, instructions, and timers. It’s about the meals and moments we get to savor together.

A Collection of Appetizer Recipes

The doorbell rings; it’s the day of a dinner gathering, and guests are arriving. They’ll leave coats and cares at the door as they’re greeted by hugs and how-are-yous—ushered into an evening to savor. Before dinner, there’s no better way to make loved ones feel welcome than with an assortment of starters to snack on while everyone settles in. Plus, if your guests are anything like our friends and family, they’re sure to arrive hungry. Providing something to curb their appetite gives you extra time to finish the rest of the meal.

How to Decorate with Garland

We love garland around here. It’s full, festive, and one of the simplest ways to usher in the holiday season—joyfully embracing nature’s beauty inside. Plus, the displays can be as big or small as you’d like. During early, not-quite-winter days, you might prefer a subtle sign of the season on the door or mantel. Then, as the holidays draw near, you can continue layering in more pieces whenever and wherever you see fit.

Below, we’re sharing creative ideas to decorate with garland in your home. Beyond traditional stylings that might readily come to mind, we’re also reimagining this classic greenery—where and how it can be placed. After all, garland can help highlight unique parts of your house that may not see much decor during the rest of the year.

Let’s bring evergreen...everywhere!

A Guide to Furniture Textures

We like to think of texture as anything that adds tactile depth to a room. It’s a sensory experience. Something you can see when you walk into a space and feel as you settle in and make yourself at home. There are many finishing touches that create visual interest and dimension: pillows, throws, florals, and the like. But today, we’d like to focus on a great place to start. Furniture.

A note on design styles: You may be familiar with the six design styles we refer to: farmhouse, modern, rustic,

Three Ways to Trim Your Tree

For us, decorating marks the beginning of the holidays—as we unpack old boxes, bring home new pieces, and create intentional spaces for merriment to unfold. At the center of it all, the Christmas tree. It’s a simple, lovely sight that signals the season is here and, therefore, wonder awaits.

When it comes to styling and trimming yours, there really are no rules. The best-dressed trees are the ones that reflect your story—and bring you and your family joy. So lean into what you love. And don’t b

Art of the Accent Chair

Accent chairs are a practical and beautiful way to add extra seating while also complementing (or diversifying) a room’s overall design. Their textures, colors, and materials add a layer of visual interest, and they’re easy to move around whenever you need a little refresh—or have company coming over.

This season, we introduced a few new accent chairs to our collection. Featuring everything from exposed framing with laid-back, mid-century appeal to elegant tufting and upholstery, there’s an opt

Rugs 101

When designing a space, you may have heard it said to start from the ground up—laying the foundation with a good rug. That’s often where Joanna will start when pulling together a room. Rugs define a space and draw you in, bringing a sense of warmth and comfort through colors, textures, and materials. They’re also one of the quickest ways to refresh a room that needs a little something new.

While they can be an investment, a high-quality rug that’s the right style (and size) can transform your s

Artifact Uprising Holiday Catalog 2021

This holiday, we’re sure of one thing — joy awaits.

With intention, we set our sights on that feeling of gifting our photos, honoring the people in our lives and the time we spend with them. We look forward to the tears-of-joy and the loved ones left speechless... making their day with each page turned and memory exchanged.

And in a season full of hurry, we choose to slow down — to enjoy the journey: the planning, creating, wrapping, remembering, and sharing. Because in anticipating the joy that lies ahead, we see the beauty in moments created along the way. And in slowing down, we find the fullness that is in front of us.

Let’s relive these moments we’re printing, recall the feelings they stir up, and be present — there’s gratitude to be found, right here.

This is joy, in the making.
