Chip and Joanna Gaines Share Photos Of Their Farmhouse In Waco, Texas

Entertainment | 8/7/19

Even before Fixer Upper aired on HGTV for the first time in May 2013, Chip and Joanna Gaines were doing what they do best: finding the worst homes in the best neighborhood and turning them into their clients' dream homes.

The Gaines managed their business around the Waco, Texas area, where they call home. Now, after five seasons of their television series, Chip and Joanna are sharing photos of their own home on their farm in Waco. Is it what you expected?

They Met at Joanna's Father's Tire Shop

Chip and Joanna Gaines met in 2001 in Waco, Texas. While Chip was working odd jobs, Joanna was working at her father's tire shop and gaining local celebrity status for appearing in the company's commercials and ads.

One day, Chip walked into Joanna's father's tire shop and the two started talking. Chip took down her phone number but waited for weeks before calling Joanna. Finally, he called, and the two began dating. As it turns out, he had a bet going with his friends to see who could wait for the longest before they called a girl. They married in 2003.

The Flipping Business Began

After the couple was married, Chip began flipping houses around Baylor University, for housing for students. What he made after flipping one unit, he'd invest into the next, and so on. Joanna was supportive of Chip's entrepreneurship, but this also meant they moved around a lot, having to move out of the unit every time it sold.

ADVERTISEMENT

In total, the couple lived in nine houses around Waco, Texas while Chip flipped them. He would buy the home, fix it up, and when it sold, the couple had to move out. Then, Joanna became pregnant with the couple's first child.

Finding Their Dream Fixer Upper

By 2012, the couple had welcomed four children, and they really felt like they were ready to move to a farm, and put down some roots on one property. That's when they found a farm with a home on it that needed a lot of work.

ADVERTISEMENT

They were a family of six, and the farmhouse on the property was only two bedrooms. But with Joanna's creative eye, she knew that they could renovate the home and make it work for The Gaines family. Still, it was quite a project to take on while running their Magnolia Homes business and caring for the kids.

Adding a Master Bedroom and Opening Up the Space

Not only did the Gaines need to add on a bedroom (they wanted three, total) but the farmhouse also needed a lot of work. They bought the house with two bedrooms and an unfinished attic to work with. They planned to keep the two current bedrooms and add on a master.

ADVERTISEMENT

Of course, Joanna wanted to open up the living space. She said: "My main priority was to open up the main living, dining, and kitchen area. It took several months to get all my ideas on paper because there was a lot of reconfiguring to do."

The Space Would Be Too Small For Many Families

Even with adding a master bedroom and opening up the living space, to many families, the farmhouse would still be pretty tight. However, Chip and Joanna decided that they wanted to keep the farmhouse around the same size because it would be a cozy home for the family to gather and connect with each other.

ADVERTISEMENT

The farmhouse was built in 1895, and Joanna wanted to keep its historical integrity intact. Joanna wrote on her website, "As we started the demo and the renovation process I wanted to make sure all the character of this amazing old house would not get lost."

Joanna's Vision for the Exterior

Chip and Joanna loved the old oak trees living alongside the home. Joanna said, "If these oak trees could talk I would love to hear their stories!" So it was important for them to keep the trees as they were, as the renovation took place. Joanna also kept the original trim and molding of the farmhouse and gave it new life.

ADVERTISEMENT

For the color palette of the home, Joanna decided to go with soft colors to balance out the brick chimneys and porch. She said, "I chose whites and soft neutral tones in the farmhouse so that it would be a calm place for the family when life gets full."

An Entryway That Makes You Feel At Home

Knowing going into it that the farmhouse would be cozy quarters for a family of now five kids and the couple, Joanna expertly designed the entryway as an organized drop-off spot for the kids' coats, shoes, and items.

ADVERTISEMENT

Of course, Joanna couldn't resist filling the space with shiplap. She left the french doors wood to balance out the white. Joanna also framed an inspiring quote above the coat rack, stating, "Always keep your beautiful imagination & exquisite humor."

The Kitchen is Classic Farmhouse Style

With the farmhouse being built in 1895, the kitchen needed a lot of work to be able to make it functional for a family of now, seven. Of course, she wanted to implement the classic farmhouse design, with clean, bright colors and antique and repurposed pieces.

ADVERTISEMENT

Joanna designed the kitchen island centerpiece with a Romanesque cabinet from a historic Waco church that ended up at a local antique store. It had caught her eye long before, but she didn't know how to use it until they purchase the farmhouse. Joanna said, "I probably stalked that thing for two years."

They Opened Up The Living Space

One of the important features of the home for the couple was that the family had enough space for all seven of them to gather at once. That meant opening up the living and dining rooms and moving in a big table for everyone to eat at.

ADVERTISEMENT

To make the space feel bigger, Joanna designed the living room, dining room, and kitchen areas with floor-to-ceiling shiplap, painted with a calming white tone. The size of this living space is quite unexpected for a family of seven with a combined estimated net worth of $18 million, but it goes to show that Chip and Joanna have never forgotten what's most important to them: family.

The Living Room (With No TV!)

After Joanna completes the beautiful renovation on the couple's HGTV show, Fixer Upper, many viewers noticed that she never incorporates a TV into the living space. In an interview with AOL, Joanna said, "We want to teach our kids that life happens outside of these devices. It's just a simple thing to go outside and connect with nature, play with your friends and get dirty."

ADVERTISEMENT

That's the reason the couple decided to move their family to a farm in the first place. They have plenty of animals for the kids to enjoy, including an English Mastiff, goats, chickens, pigs, and cows.

A Light and Bright Girls' Room

This girls' room for Ella and Emmie is beyond sweet. Joanna designed this space for her two girls that makes it feel unique to them while also tying into the overall style of their Waco farmhouse.

The color on the wall is calming, while the white chandelier and large windows give the room an antique, feminine touch. The girls even have a historic dollhouse to play with, seen in between their beds. Joanna succeeded in creating a space for the girls that will allow them to grow up together with unforgettable memories.

We wonder if the couple is planning on adding another baby to their family when we see the design of the boys' room! Even now with three boys in the Gaines brood, this bedroom expertly has room for them all.

ADVERTISEMENT

It's creative designs like this that make Fixer Upper exciting to watch. Joanna came up with a fun and practical way to sleep four kids in one room. This room is unique from the others with the metal details on the ladder, railings, and lights above the beds.

The Attic Adds Another Living Space

While the Gaines kids spend a great deal of their time outdoors on the farm, they also need some space to play inside when the sun goes down. Joanna had a vision for the unfinished attic, and it turned out beautifully. This space has all the good of the antique farmhouse vibe: brick, wood, and shiplap!

ADVERTISEMENT

The countertop creates a space for making coffee or a snack, with adorable bar stools and vintage hightop table. You can spot other antique features that Joanna incorporated into the design, too.

An Incredible Craft Room

Joanna skillfully designed this A-frame space to fit a large table. While this room most likely used to be full of dark wood, she brought life into the space with a calming white tone on both the walls and the ceiling.

Joanna found a gorgeous antique table for this room and mounted two wooden baskets on either side of the window to organize crafting supplies in a clean and cute way. The unique light fixture ties it all together.

Did you imagine the farmhouse having this much square-footage, viewing it from the exterior? It's incredible how Joanna masterfully maximized every inch of the space. Here's a section of the home that she converted into an office. This space has a little more modern edge than most of the house with a six-top conference table and industrial-style light fixture.

She threw in a '70s style orange vintage chair for a pop of color while keeping the rest of the design clean and straight-forward.

The Master Bedroom Turned Out Beautifully

As mentioned, the only addition to the farmhouse was a master bedroom for the couple. Joanna was elated to find extra materials and wood in the unfinished attic that they could incorporate into the design of the master bedroom to make it feel like the rest of the house, built in 1895.

ADVERTISEMENT

Joanna said, "Since we added on our master bedroom I used the flooring in the attic for my floors. I also incorporated old doors so the space felt like the rest of the house." If you thought that this room was designed without shiplap, you weren't looking closely enough.... can you spot it?

Their Own Private Space

While the kids have free-range of the farm and the rest of the house, the master bedroom is the one place that Chip and Joanna can seek some alone time. The master bedroom is beautifully designed with a fireplace with white mantle, lined with candles that make it extra cozy.

ADVERTISEMENT

A window on either side of the fireplace with two comfortable-looking sofa chairs makes this space both beautiful and functional for Chip and Joanna to put their feet up and relax. The repurposed wood flooring looks incredible!

The Attached Master Bath

Here you can see the replicated molding to match the rest of the house, and two antique lanterns that Joanna found. What really makes the entry into the attached master bathroom romantic, is the antique wooden doors, welcoming you in.

Joanna said, "I had the best time looking for older fixtures and doors to use." Taking a peak inside, you can see the free-standing deep bathtub where the couple can recharge their batteries. The clean white tile ties the room back into the farmhouse design.

Classic Vintage Design for the Master Bathroom

Clean, calm, and farmhouse style, would you guess that this bathroom was a new addition? Joanna's eye for design is truly on display with this beautiful master bathroom. The shiplap ceilings and antique chandelier pay respects to the house's history, paired with double modern farmhouse sinks.

Notice the thicker shiplap panels on the ceiling and the thinner, wainscoting style boards that run decoratively around the walls. Again, this space isn't large but is designed with everything the couple needs in a master bedroom.

Carefully-Selected Antiques

The kitchen island wasn't the only item that Joanna discovered and repurposed from an antique shop. She also found this lamp, the bottles, and antique books. She decided to use some shutters she found to decorate the wall in a unique way.

These pieces look right at home in the historic farmhouse. Joanna saw her vision through of maintaining the home's historic integrity while making the space warm and cozy for her family.

Beautiful Wood Flooring and Some Fun Design

Shiplap! For the boys' room, Joanna selected floor to ceiling shiplap walls painted in a neutral tone that if not the same as the girls' room, looks awfully close. She incorporated a few more metal features in the design, with a playful ladder and industrial-style desk space with three stools.

ADVERTISEMENT

The original wood flooring is stunning, adding a wood element that makes the space cozier. In both of the kids' rooms, Joanna kept it simple, as she says the calming design can balance out the chaos of all the kids' energies.

The Farmhouse Is Their Dream Come True

Many fans of Fixer Upper and those who know Chip and Joanna's celebrity status might expect that the couple would opt for a large home for their growing family. However, the farmhouse is exactly what works for the Gaines.

ADVERTISEMENT

The couple has a passion for taking old homes and giving them new life, making them a home for a local family, and that's what they've created for themselves, too. Joanna selected a black metal banister for the staircase while keeping the stairs a light and bright white tone.

Enjoying the Farm, Even at Night

While the couple fell in love with the farmhouse, they love the land even more, and the lifestyle that it offers to their kids. "Living on a farm has always been a dream of ours," Joanna wrote, "And we were excited when it finally became a reality."

ADVERTISEMENT

She designed a space for the family to eat meals outside in the farm Waco climate. While most homes would go modern with the outdoor space, Joanna creatively found a way to incorporate antique farmhouse style here, too.

They Live On 40 Acres

The farm that the Gaines own spans an incredible 40 acres in Waco, Texas. They now have five kids and over 60 animals. Yes, 60. That's because Chip loves surprising the family (including Joanna) with new additions to the farm quite often.

While they have a beautiful farmhouse to enjoy, they are more often outside enjoying their land. They truly made their dream become a reality, and now their five kids will grow up on a farm.

Joanna's vision for the farmhouse was for the family to all be gathered together to make memories, and that's exactly what she's accomplished. Here you see Chip and the kids gathered in the living room playing a game of Jenga during the holiday season.

You can also see that their house isn't just clean and simple when it's staged- it's a lifestyle that the couple enjoys, showing their kids that you don't need a bunch of material things to be happy.

Can Joanna Do Modern? Yes.

While Joanna is famous for her farmhouse style that's created a nationwide trend, that doesn't mean she can't switch it up. On season 4, episode 7, the Gaines took on a client that wanted a more modern style home, a bit different than the design Joanna usually goes with.

Of course, she accomplished the look flawlessly. Here, the Gaines updated the fireplace to look entirely different, with concrete and a holding spot for firewood. The far-side wall has been opened up with large windows overlooking the yard and a more open floor plan.

A Dream Kitchen

The transformation of the kitchen design in season 4, episode 10 of Fixer Upper is mind-blowing. While the kitchen wasn't falling apart, it was clearly outdated and dark. Many of the Gaines' clients are drawn to their work for how they are able to open up space, and that's exactly what they did with this kitchen.

ADVERTISEMENT

They expanded the space by removing a wall and flipping the kitchen design around to flow into the living space. Adding plenty of white and a large island make this kitchen bright, beautiful, and functional.

This Bedroom Needed a Lot of Help

The before-image of this bedroom is cringe-worthy. The randomly placed window, the built-ins, and the horrific highlighter yellow paint would make this room incredibly awkward to call your bedroom. Of course, the Gaines were able to completely transform it.

The after-image shows many similarities to the Gaines' personal master bedroom, with soft colors on the wall, rich wood flooring, and antique details that make this space feel calm and romantic.

Many of the homes that are featured on Fixer Upper aren't practical for families anymore. The older homes have closed-off spaces that aren't functional for today's lifestyle, and that's where Joanna challenges herself to think outside the box and reinvent the space.

ADVERTISEMENT

This space belonged to a young couple who were anxiously awaiting their first child, and wanted to have a cozy home ready to bring them home to. Here, Joanna took an ugly, dark, office-closet and transformed it into a quaint office with natural lighting.

This before-and-after belonged to a retired couple who wanted a space for their grandkids to spend time in when they visited. They realized that although they were empty-nesters, they still needed to have a place for recreation for the next generation.

Chip and Joanna transformed this cold garage space into a brilliant rec room for the grandkids. The rich, dark wood floors are balanced by the soothing neutral green tone on the wall. They also incorporated bunk beds as you see in the Gaines' boys room on the farm.

People do things a bit differently in Texas, and this was an awesome and unique project that the Gaines were happy to take on. One of their clients was open to the alternative idea of buying and renovating a barn to call their home.

ADVERTISEMENT

While the barn had plenty of space, it took Joanna's design skills to be able to make it livable for a family. One of the important items on the couple's list was to have a large table for entertaining, and Joanna succeeded by creating this incredible dining space that offers plenty of sitting room and the farmhouse style... shiplap!

The before image of this bathroom is less than appealing. For this project, Chip and Joanna completely changed the layout of the bathroom. You can see that the shower was relocated to the back wall, allowing more natural light to come through the window.

Every inch of this room was reinvented and transformed into a gorgeous combination of farmhouse and modern design that looks like a four-star spa resort. Who knew this old bathroom could look so good?

Don't Forget About the Porch!

This home was featured in Season 3, Episode 8 of Fixer Upper and it's one to remember. This house belonged to the Papa of a woman and her husband who inherited it and wanted to make it livable for them, while still embracing the memories of her late grandfather and all of the childhood memories they made at the ranch house.

ADVERTISEMENT

While the porch might have been an afterthought for the client, Chip and Joanna went all-out and designed a large porch where the family could gather and admire the land. To achieve this, they relocated the front door and built pillars and a pitched roof that wowed their clients.

Joanna loves the farmhouse style, but that doesn't mean that she can't do ranch houses, too. This home was featured on Season 4, Episode 1 of Fixer Upper, a ranch house from the 1950s. While the client enjoyed the ranch style of the home, it needed an updated look.

ADVERTISEMENT

You can see that the Gaines switched out the flooring and lightened the color of the vaulted ceiling and beams to make the room feel bigger and brighter. They also relocated the fireplace and knocked out that wall to open up the space into the kitchen.

Beachum's parents had no idea that he had contributed $100,000 to the renovation budget, making their dream a reality. For this design, Joanna selected plenty of warm, inviting colors and selected a range of materials to make the space feel cozy and welcoming.

When HGTV shot the test pilot of Chip and Joanna Gaines, in what would become Fixer Upper, Chip had surprised Joanna by purchasing a houseboat that was falling apart. The producers loved the banter between the couple so much they agreed to sign them on for a show (much to Chip and Joanna's surprise).

ADVERTISEMENT

They would see a houseboat once again, in Season 4, Episode 14 when one of their friends elected to buy a houseboat for him and his four kids. While the project was very different from what the Gaines usually take on, they did an incredible job.

The Interior Is Entirely Transformed

Much like their own home, Joanna really had to create a design that utilizes every inch of space on the houseboat flip. There would be five people living on the boat, and it needed to accommodate them all. That meant redesigning the layout to create an open living space.

ADVERTISEMENT

The Gaines brightened up the kitchen and made the counter run longer, also creating a space for seating. The island adds more counter space, and Joanna cleverly designed a spot for a couch to fit under the stairs.

The Shotgun Home

Another unique project on Fixer Upper was this shotgun-style home featured in Season 3, Episode 15. The couple who purchased this home were in love with this style. They were so committed to it, they were okay when they were told the house would need to be relocated from its original location to keep it.

ADVERTISEMENT

Once the house was moved, the Gaines got to work transforming the 400-square foot home. They were even able to add a second level to it for a desk and sitting area. Joanna said, "what's fun about smaller spaces is that it really challenges your creativity and makes you maximize the space that you've got."

How is This the Same House?!?

While there were only two people living in this home, and not a full family, Joanna did wonders to maximize the kitchen space. It's hard to imagine, looking at the before-image, that the couple even wanted to purchase this home!

Nonetheless, Chip and Joanna were able to design a light and bright kitchen balancing classic black and white style with wood elements to warm it up. The clients' jaws practically hit the floor when they saw what the Gaines were able to do with their fixer-upper.

A single man who was born in Waco decided to return to his Texas roots after making the move to New York. When he came back, ready to buy a home, he called upon the Gaines. This home was featured in Season 4, Episode 8, when Chip and Joanna designed a home suited for a bachelor.

The home was a 1969 lakefront ranch, with enough space for plenty of design options. In the kitchen, Joanna designed double islands (very rare) and a large table with tones that suited their bachelor client.
