It’s no secret to admit that HGTV’s "Fixer Upper" has won over our hearts. The power couple Chip and Joanna Gaines are wonderful individuals; clever, talented and has a breath of fresh air on their design, renovation show located in Waco, Texas. Here’s reasons why we’re in love with "Fixer Upper."
1. One word: shiplap
The two are BIG fans of this; you’ll hear this word at least 20 times while watching the show. A renovation isn’t complete without it. Rough sawn pine paneling found in most barns and historic farms, they’ve turned this unique aesthetic into their signature, design look. Where can we get some shiplap?
2. Their kids
Our other favorite characters on the show. They’re absolutely adorable and a bundle of joy -- please let us babysit them, please!
3. Joanna's wardrobe
She doesn’t only have good taste in design, her personal style is always on point. With a mix of urban, modern and bohemian, it fits well with her comfortable laid back lifestyle.
4. The animals
Oh, look a goat!
Oh, look another puppy!
Oh look a cow is birthing a new calf.
Looks like they’ll be late to showing their next client some homes, again.
5. Demolition day
What day is it?! It could arguably be our favorite day of the week.
6. Some more words: French doors, farmhouse sink, reclaimed wood, subway tile.
You get the picture. All the pieces to the Fixer Upper puzzle. Thank you for introducing these to us, Joanna. How else would we sound classy and sophisticated when discussing home interiors?
7. That house poster
How much do those things cost? And wouldn’t blindfolds just be easier?
8. Waco (Go Baylor Bears!)
Oooh, the home buyers are Baylor grads? Another BIG surprise!
9. Chip ('s sense of humor, belly, sweat...)
He’s a mess, but we love him anyways. Even if he no longer has his special tooth.
10. The price of homes in Texas
These are less than my student loans. When can we move here?
11. The Silos!
Magnolia Market is a store we’ve always dreamed of and their new headquarters are now even better than before. It truly marks all their success and hard work they’ve done, and right in the heart of Waco.
12. Chip and Joanna are GOALS
Despite most reality shows, you can tell the two of them are genuinely happy. A simple couple with big dreams, they were able to make everything become a reality. In life with their lives and each other, thanks Chip and Joanna for giving us a real life fairytale.
