HGTV is full of fantastic shows about flipping houses, fixing up homes and purchasing the perfect place. But there is one particular show that reigns supreme in my book, and that is "Fixer Upper." It features a couple, Chip and Joanna Gaines, who help people find a house and then fix it up for them in a matter of weeks. The homes are usually in or around Waco, Texas. This show has been a huge success for the couple and everyone seems to be jumping on the Magnolia bandwagon - the name of a shop Joanna owned and now the name of the farm where they live. It's always fun to watch the show, not only for the houses, but also for the dynamic between Chip and Joanna. For anyone who has watched more than one episode, you may be able to relate to the following thoughts you can have while watching.
1. Yes! A new episode!
2. Chip and Jo are the ultimate relationship goals.
3. Which house will the lucky people on today's episode pick?
4. #DemoDay
5. Every house should have an open floor plan. Get all the walls out!
6. Demo Day actually looks really fun with the two of them around.
7. How do all these houses magically have hardwood underneath that awful carpeting? And shiplap on the walls?
8. I didn't even know what shiplap was until I watched this show.
9. Now I need shiplap in every room of my house.
10. Actually, can I move to Waco?
11. Really, though, I'm going to look for jobs in Waco.
12. Here comes Chip with his important life questions.
13. There must never be a boring day for them.
14. Back to the house: How do they make that run-down house look so good?
15. Seriously, relationship goals. I hope I can find someone who feels the same way about me as they do about each other.
16. Yep, I need to move to Waco.
17. Or maybe they would be interested in coming to my state to find me the perfect house here?
18. Now googling any potential barndominium in my local area.
I have to say, picking a favorite house they have fixed up is a difficult decision. But the barndominium is probably it for me. If you only watch one episode, this needs to be the one!
19. How does Joanna even think of all these designs? This is a new level of creativity.
20. Another job well done. But who's surprised?
They did a great job, but does it have to come to an end?
With a book coming out later this year, Chip and Joanna Gaines' success story is only just beginning. If you haven't watched "Fixer Upper" yet, seasons 1 and 2 are on Netflix so you can binge to your heart's desire. Then maybe we can all move to Waco together.
