True Fixer Upper [3] fans know how much Joanna Gaines enjoys a good cupcake. Staging late into the night on pure sugar-high adrenaline is one of her vices she's revealed on the show, and we love her for it! So it seems fitting that Joanna and her HGTV cohost/husband, Chip Gaines, are opening their very own sweets shop, Magnolia Flour [4], in late Spring! While we've got the skinny on when Magnolia Flour will be opening, where it will be located, and what will be served [5], we've been dying for any clues on the decor — it's Joanna Gaines, after all! While we're still not ruling out the likelihood of a major shiplap [6] moment, Joanna's first reveal about the design plans took our breath away. Get a load of the new bakery's first star feature . . . herringbone floors.

This old-world design feature gained popularity in Europe — even appearing in the queen's guardroom at Versailles [9] — but Joanna proves its versatility. Paired with an exposed brick wall, it's rustic elegance at its very best. We can't wait to see more!
