Chip and Joanna Gaines have become massive celebrities, along with their five children. Here's what fans are saying about their youngest son.
The one-and-only Harp House from season one of "Fixer Upper" recently hit the market in Waco, Texas.
Happy Monday! I hope you enjoyed your weekend, friends. We went to the town fair (and rode the ferris wheel!) and saw the movie Chef-- it was really good! One of the things McCann and I love doing on weekdays after dinner is to watch a little HGTV to unwind. We are loving the show Fixer Upper with Chip and Joanna Gaines. The pair went to my brother's school, Baylor University, so it's fun to see little snippets of the town my brother is living in. I love their fun personalities, and Joanna totally nails the renovation ideas and design style every time. I adore their farmhouse vibe! Take a look at one of their recent renovations below. They turned this 1937 craftsman house into a gorgeous new home with their signature style for a deserving mom, after her previous home was destroyed in the tragic fertilizer plant explosion in Texas. I remember that day well; I texted me brother right away to be sure he was okay. To my relief he was fine, but he was only about 20 minutes away from where the explosion took place. We are so grateful he was kept safe! I'm also grateful for people like Chip and Joanna, who serve people through design daily. I want to give that gift to others, too, which is the heart to my design business. Enjoy this before and after! Before: After: Taking down the awnings, painting the home a nice neutral color, and adding some pretty plants really make the home so welcoming. I'm all for some brick fireplaces, but there's something about a brick fireplace painted white that I absolutely adore. It keeps the original character, but it gives the room and fresh, updated look while maintaing that farmhouse look I love. Ah, be still my heart! I love a white kitchen with marble countertops and stainless steel appliances. Those chandeliers are a total bonus! Want to know another one of my obsessions? White subway tile with gray grout. Love, love, love. That headboard. So pretty! Photos for HGTV Have you gotten into Fixer Upper on HGTV lately? If not, you're missing out! There is so much soul that goes into each renovation. Did you know you can shop their Magnolia Market store online too?! What's your favorite part of this home makeover? Have a wonderful week! xoxo interior design website / services / portfolio
THE ENGLISH TUDOR I spent my childhood overseas, but when we came back to the States we lived in this grand English Tudor that had 15 rooms and 7 bedrooms and 4 fireplaces! All five of us kids had our own bedrooms! It had all of the things a big house should have like a secret passageway and laundry chute, a front and back staircase, a fabulous linen closet and butlers pantry and a buzzer on the floor under the table in the dining room to call the servants! Loads of mahogany wood paneling and gorgeous leaded glass windows with a library full of built in mahogany bookcases and small gas fireplace. This house was built in 1922. We lived here for 18 years. My bedroom was front right, second floor! This is what it looked like when I lived there. Above is how it looks now after a one million dollar renovation. They did a great job. THE PINK HOUSE This was the first house I bought. It was my mother's childhood home and I purchased it from my grandfather after my grandmother died. It was dark grey, no shutters and all covered up with screens. I took down the screens and a partial enclosure that blocked the open side areas of the porch and painted it pink with black trim. This house became known as "The Pink House". Many tried to copy the color. THE SHINGLE STYLE VICTORIAN This house had a huge foyer with beautiful woodwork, a Count Rumford Fireplace, 5 bedrooms, a grand dining room, heavy mahogany pocket doors. It also needed a new kitchen, a new bathroom, a complete residing and paint job. Here it is in the finishing stages of paint..you can see the lattice is not yet done. This was what it looked like when I fell head over heels in love and had to have it. I could see beyond it's sad neglected facade. I am standing on the porch on moving day holding my 2 year old son Colin. The Count Rumford Fireplace and pocket doors in the living room, as movers bring in a carpet through the foyer as Colin and I watch. Everyone thought I was crazy to take on this project. I loved the thought of how gorgeous this wrap around porch was going to turn out! My son Brandon is sitting on a wicker chair on the porch. Multiple bay windows ran along side of the house. Soon this house would have all new cedar shingles with a painted lady combo of taupe on the shingles, purple on the trim and lavendar rose for accents like the balusters and the fancy fish scale shingles at the peak of the roof. All the screening was coming down soon! This image shows closer detail of the porch. It was a bridal shower for my sister Susan, here with mom. I decorated my old wheel barrow with balloons to match the house paint. THE FEDERAL COLONIAL However I missed the quiet tree lined street of my pink house, so after I fixed up the Victorian I bought this classic Federal Colonial which was only two doors away from the pink house. It was white with platinum grey shutters. I painted the front door Heritage Red after failing with a yellow color first. The best part about this house was the cornfield behind it in the summer! Notice the bulls eye glass on the door and the bead board trim inside the arched ceiling. Loved that detail. I liked shopping at Talbots too.. .maybe there was a connection with the red door? This is when the door was white, and I liked that too. Nice railings on the side reminds me of a whaling captains house for some reason. THE DUPLEX I picked up this adorable duplex after I divorced and moved back to my childhood town. Bobby Kennedy's Harvard roommate grew up in this house. He later wrote speeches for JFK!! I brought my awnings from the federal colonial and installed them on my duplex. It needed the other back storm door to be fixed, that was in the garage waiting for me.. I had to do window boxes first, of course. This is the kitchen in the duplex and I have already yanked the dark green doors off! What a difference a gallon of white paint makes, eh? My dad painted them for me. It also had original yellow formica counter tops with a stainless steel edge, which was ok and yellow wall tile (ugh) which was not. Next, I ripped off the wall tile and was thrilled when I found bead board underneath! So I restored it, but had to create a second molding to cover the wall where the tile originally was placed. I put a french country toile border in between the beadboard and the new molding--no more tile! You can see I was impatient and had already wallpapered the top in a petite red pattern. Storage was an issue so I got this lovely pine secretary at a junk shop and stuck it in the corner. I corralled bills in the drawers and put my prized transferware up top! French farmhouse! Kinda. If I knew I was gonna blog back then, I would have taken the pic without my boyfriend (now hubby) and kids and his cousin ... but you can see I added the wallpaper in a petite red pattern and had a border where the old tile ran. I liked the black and white linoleum floor which I put in, cheap and nice. I took out the ceiling fan and put in an iron chandelier. This kitchen and house was TINY, but I was determined to make it charming. Of course the custom curtains added to the appeal. I also gutted the attic and made two bedrooms and a jack and jill bathroom for my sons to share. THE BUNGALOW After two years I parlayed the duplex for a nice gain and bought a single family again, this time a sweet bungalow. It was the cheapest house for sale at the time in my town. It needed a gut job and a ton of work! I redid the entire second floor down to the studs as well as the kitchen and back of the little house. It came out really great. Here I am with my mom, sister and brother showing them my soon to be new house. I started right away by changing the entryway to the rear instead of the side. My new kitchen was soon going to have a little french door to lead outside. My boyfriend (now hubby) and I dismantled the cobblestone wall. I love cobblestones! The ones we didn't reuse on this project I eventually dragged to my new home when I married Dave and they are in my garden now. This was the hideous kitchen inside, UGLY, but I had a vision. My broker thought I was crazy. My dad didn't.. .he was going to be one of my biggest helpers on this project! He's fearless, like me. Part of the vision included ripping out the wall over there so I could have an open floor plan in this tiny space. I had already had my dad hang my crystal chandelier! I am impatient. Opened wall from dining area into kitchen with my french door I told you about in the back ground. Still a TINY house but it felt so much larger by opening this up. I painted the walls my favorite BM color Hepplewhite Ivory throughout. My cabinets were white glazed uppers and alder wood lowers with a Boos Butcher Block island. I had pale green granite counters and I was in heaven. Here I am carving the turkey for a small family Thanksgiving in our new home. I had chicken wire in the corner cabinet instead of glass so I could put my cool things on display and have a touch of french farmhouse. The under cabinet lights did not look obnoxious like that in real life! This was a simple stylish makeover that fit this little house. Not long after, my handsome boyfriend proposed marriage and this bunglalow hit the market! I moved into Dave's house that he was building and we have been working on it ever since. Our new plans include expanding our outdoor living space with french doors and a minor kitchen remodel, with a new backyard patio and garden area. Stay tuned. CENTER ENTRANCE COLONIAL This is my current home. It is actually a pre-fab from Canada. Center entrance colonial with black shutters and a light grey vinyl (ugh) siding. I want to put a french door in and make a patio area. It is on a small city lot, and I want to try to get in as much garden area as I can. Right now it is a work in progress! It sits up on a rocky ledge.....I am in the neighbor's yard snapping this pic. The famous pink swing my dad made many moons ago. It was white. I like to paint things. It hangs outside the entrance to the cellar apartment my son lives in. The walkway up to the front door & the granite walls my husband makes. A garden closeup: Nepeta, Betty Prior roses, and Boxwoods mingling happily. There are my bungalow cobblestones! LAKE HOUSE This is our second home, a colonial in New Hampshire right next to Pleasant Lake. It has a fruit orchard, 90 blueberry bushes and beautiful lake views. Old stone walls. So lovely. This used to be a farm long ago. Lots of balconies and decks to capture the lake view! A beautiful spot in the summer.

Is there anything more exciting to the DIY home renovator than the potential of a genuine ‘fixer upper’? With solid bones in place, the imagination can run wild, allowing you to stamp your mark on a property to create a unique and character filled home or a guaranteed money spinner.Unlike a full rebuild, a renovation allows you to be the creative force behind the project–saving money, time and handing the reins of control over to you. Whether you are buying with the intention to renovate for a fast turnover for profit or looking to create something special for your family to live in, there are numerous strategies you can employ to get the best value out of your purchase. [source] Size matters One of the single most costly decisions you can make when looking to undertake a renovation is to buy a house that requires additional rooms to be added. If working within a restricted budget, make sure the property has ample floor space. A floor plan can always be rejigged, and non-load bearing stud walls added or removed as needed, but extensions cost big money per square metre. [source] Securing the site Renovating whilst living off-site may be the easiest and fastest option but any house which is obviously uninhabited increases the risk of vandalisation. To protect your investment, find a reliable home security system in Melbourne which will give you 24 hour protection with the ability to monitor the site remotely on your iPhone or mobile device, from any location. Monitoring will also protect building materials and merchandise from theft. According to police, some of the most likely items to be stolen from unsecured sites are: ● Kitchen appliances ● Bathroom fittings ● Hot water systems ● Air conditioning units ● Electrical cable and wiring ● Timber [source] Tipping points The point of a renovation project, unless you simply enjoy a challenge, is to get the biggest bang for your buck. If you have purchased a project with the view to turning a profit, we have compiled a few simple tips, to gain the most return from your investment: ● Appeal to the masses. Keep neutral decor throughout. It may not be to your taste but if you are considering selling, it is the best way to ensure a good price. ● Don’t skimp on bathrooms and kitchens; these are the rooms that sell a house. If the budget won’t extend to new, consider respraying tiles and cabinetry as an effective and affordable compromise. ● Modern homes are all about light and space. Dollar for dollar, paint is one of the most cost effective ways to brighten a home. Additionally, removing a few stud walls to open up living areas can transform the feel and functionality of a home. [source] Council concerns Ensure you know what you can and can’t do with your property from a legal and local laws perspective. We regularly hear of investors purchasing properties with the intention of developing a site, only to find that local governance prevents or impinges on their plans. There can be any number of regulations in your precinct. Just a tip of the iceberg of issues which may derail your plans are: ● Maintaining uniform street frontage ● Narrow driveways limiting rear access ● Second storey; overlooking and privacy concerns ● Heritage overlay restrictions on structures, buildings or trees ● Neighbourhood uniformity and design by-laws to maintain the character or heritage aspect of the area. [source] Even minor changes such as a new window, require consultation with the local council to ensure they don’t breach any existing laws and to ensure the correct building procedures are followed. Neglect them at your peril as you risk the council demanding the work be removed and re-done in accordance with their regulations which can completely blow your budget! [source] Don’t be left thinking ‘if only’. With Melbourne’s house prices stated to be doubling every year and home renovation resources more accessible than ever before, turning an ugly duckling into a beautiful swan can pay off huge dividends. Look for inner-city ‘sleeper’ suburbs and then slowly extend your search outwards until you find the best prospect for the price. This could just be the recipe which will provide a stunning home for now and a debt-free future in the long term. Till next time... take your time and invest wisely! xox Rani FOLLOW LA MAISON JOLIE ON INSTAGRAM
