Fixer Upper

                Fixer Upper is the show I recommend to watch.  If you like to watch houses being remodeled this is the one to watch.  Chip and Joanne Gaines both graduated from Baylor University in Waco, TX.  They got married in 2003.  Joanne opened Magnolia Market in 2003 and Chip had Magnolia Homes.  With Joanne having an eye for design and Chip having experience with real estate.  Fixer Upper was born.  In April 2014, the first show aired.  I have seen show that some of the home should have been torn down and they totally transformed the home.  This is the clip I have added for you to watch.  Joanne designs the home and Chip remodels them.  Joanne then decorates them inside and out.  How she decorates is depending on the them of what the customer wants in their home.  She has done farmhouse to a contemporary look.   They remodeled homes from a shotgun house to even a houseboat which was awesome when they finished it.  If you like decorating you can get some awesome ideas from the shows for the inside of your home and the outside as well.  If you see merchandise or furniture on the shows you like they have a brand-new store in Waco and you can order online also.  I recommend you watch at least one show, they are on Tuesday night at 8 pm on HGTV.  I am a country girl, so I just love her farmhouse design and decoration.  My mom and sister has been to her store a couple of times, but for me I haven’t had the time to go yet.  But that will be a summer road trip.  I really hope you trust my opinion and watch, who knows you might just like it as well.  I am attaching two videos.  One is Joanne’s story on how she got started with her store and the other is one of my favorite show.  I hope you enjoy my favorite show.
