Meet Chip and Joanna Gaines, they are the hosts of the new show called Fixer Upper!! I was watching HGTV last week and came across their show...I can't tell you but I can't get enough of them. Here is their bio from the HGTV website...
Chip and Joanna Gaines, hosts of HGTV’s Fixer Upper, have been flipping, remodeling and fixing up homes together for the past 12 years as owners of Magnolia Homes in Waco, Texas. They have worked on more than 100 homes together, combining Chip's great instinct on real estate and Joanna's unique eye for design.
The Gaines met after they both graduated from Baylor University, and like all of their projects, fate played a role in bringing them together. Shortly after their wedding, the couple purchased, gutted and renovated their first building together, and Joanna opened a home accessory store called Magnolia. Eight years later, this "can't be stopped" couple found an amazing way to balance having four kids while growing their business to include a real estate company, construction company, design firm and residential subdivision, Magnolia Villas.
Chip and Joanna are passionate about walking their clients through every aspect of the construction and design process and helping to turn their dreams into a reality. The Gaines have lived in Waco for over ten years. They enjoy working together with the same goal in mind — to make Waco and all Texas communities more beautiful, one project at a time.
If you don't believe me...check out some of these homes that they have fixed up, on one show the house was only $10,000 dollars, wish I could find a house like that here in So Cal....it was an old house with great bones but what they did to it was magic! Here is a sample of some of their work.
Here is an exterior of one house they fixed up....Love their landscaping as well as their exterior color palette.
Can you see my style is all over this living room! White couches and chairs and that coffee table...all that chippy lushness.
Oh yes!! I love it...I think I'd like to attempt putting a top like this on my outside dining table. The Whites Grays, blue, greens...all my favorite colors.
I love how Joanna took this beat up old picket fence gate and added the metal scripted family word to it...I have to replicate this on my wall in my family room. I have a perfect spot for it, above the mantel or the sideboard.
Oh I died and went to heaven in this kitchen!! Oh my gosh...I'll take one please!! The carrera marble, the white cabinets, the black hardware, the windows and the farmhouse sink!!
Here is another kitchen, the two toned beadboard cabinets in grey and white..adds some interest and that backsplash, I'd love to use those type of arabesque tiles in my own home.
Here is a close up of the Arabesque tiles with a farmhouse sink...bliss! I've pinned quite a few of them in different colors on my Products I Love Board on Pinterest.
The mix of the warm wood on the table and the shiny mercury glass candlesticks with the black table and chairs and my favorite paint color on the walls....Sky Glass {well that's my paint color by Dunn Edwards }
Great lighting and those look very similiar to my Jackson Tub chairs from World Market, they are located in my patio cause Mr. Incredible chased them outside....they are so comfortable.
Here are some metal stools on this great island, Mr. Incredible would love to tear down our wall the one with the cottage bookshelves and put in an island I could see it done like this...but I'm too much in love with my cottage bookshelves to go for that. Maybe way down the road after we put in another bathroom and a pool!!!
Here is a boys room done in neutrals, I like how she pulled in the industrial feel {masculine feel} here with the locker console and the P art on the wall...so darling. I love this look too!
A bathroom redone with a great ruffly linen curtain...think I need to redo my curtain and I always love a hexagon tile, vintage chic. I think Joanna is my "style twin", I'm a little bit country and a little bit vintage with a beachy vibe thrown in.
Is this not the cutest coffee bar you have ever seen?! I should do paint a chalkboard wall on the back of o my cottage hutch/bookshelves...wouldn't that be dramatic? We have one chalkboard wall in the kitchen and the family and friends LOVE it so much!! I don't want to erase all their messages and write new ones because it's so neat to read them over and over again. I think I need more chalkboards in the house.
Look what they did with this dated atrium in a mid-century modern home....reminded me of this restaurant done in industrial pieces and reclaimed wood called Cucina Enoteca on Fashion Island in Newport.
I always love brick...and the table with herbs growing down the center of it...genius!
Check out these shutters they are made out of reclaimed wood, love the chevron style and who likes a window box? Me!! If I haven't convinced you yet, The Gaines Duo are on Thursdays....so you'll know where I'll be come this Thursday....catching up on my new favorite show HGTV's new show Fixer Upper !!!
What is the name of the white paint color u used on the cabinets?

Hi RK, Are you talking about the ones over the island? I'll have to head on over to Wayfair and check it out. I love the one over the dining room! I can't wait for the Victorian Christmas Bed and Breakfast episode on Tuesday!!!
