A Look Inside Chip And Joanna Gaines’ Incredible Home

Published on August 2, 2021
Chip and Joanna Gaines made a name for themselves by renovating and improving people’s houses into their dream homes. These incredible makeovers became the focus of their HGTV show Fixer Upper that made the couple into the household names that they are now. It goes without saying that when it comes to the design of their own house, they couple did not hold back. Let’s take a look at their impressive and gorgeous farmhouse style home.

The Fixer Uppers

The couple known for creating other couples’ home of their dreams have the most romantic story themselves. After growing up in the same state and attending the same college, they actually only met after they both had graduated. Chip was at Joanna’s father’s store when he saw her picture. He knew right then and there that she was the one. The couple married in 2003.

A Small Farmhouse

Chip and Joanna bought a tiny farmhouse in 2012. It was a two-bedroom home with an attic. Of course, the house was far too small for the then-family of six. Of course, they’re the perfect couple to buy a fixer upper. Best of all, the house sat on an incredible space of land.

Long-Term Project

The Gaines couple had no idea that the house would take about 18 months from start to finish. While fixing the home, they stumbled upon many hidden gems, including paperwork that dated back all the way to 1895. They had no idea exactly how old the house was, but Joanna loved that it had its own unique story.

Finally Ready

In October 2013, their perfect farmhouse was finally ready and the family moved right in. Joanna’s goal was to keep the home’s original character as much as possible while still renovating it to be a modern house. Only one add-on structure was built onto the home.

Neutral Colors

The couple decided on a neutral color scheme for their home, with white featured prominently in the home’s exterior, which was kept in a traditional style. Adding to the picturesque home are the oak trees that make the house feel classic and natural at the same time.
