Chip and Joanna Gaines’ Memorable Makeover

Last night’s emotional Fixer Upper had Joanna Gaines reaching for the tissues. “This one’s a tear jerker,” she tweeted during the episode, which saw she and husband Chip work their magic on a property for homeowner Patti Baker, who recently lost her husband to cancer. After relocating to Waco, Texas, to be near her two sons, Baker decided to purchase this humble abode. While in relatively good shape, it “needed a hug” before it could be her new forever home.

AFTER: WARM WELCOME

The original exterior was bland, with simple gray siding and standard iron pillars. Chip and Jo, who announced in January that they’re expecting baby number five, brightened the look with cedar shingles, lighter paint and a redesigned porch, perfect for the Texas lifestyle.

BEFORE: DARK AND DREARY

The closed off 1,600-square-foot floor plan didn’t offer much in the way of spacious rooms. One bonus, though, were the floors that remained in nearly untouched condition.

AFTER: SUNNY COOKING SPOT

After reconfiguring a few of those spare spaces, the HGTV hosts were able to design a light, bright kitchen that now sports a focal point backsplash, wood island, seating for her Patti’s kids and her dream farmhouse sink.

BEFORE: BARE BONES

The living room already offered plenty of natural light, but plain walls and outdated fixtures took away from the area’s solid starting point.

AFTER: SITTING PRETTY

White shutters, light furniture and touches of wood refresh the space, while floating shelves showcasing precious family memories of her late husband help Patti feel truly at home. “He knows I’m safe and sound now,” Baker said after the reveal.

“New year, new hope… Be expectant. There is just something about fresh faith and unwavering trust that brings life to our souls. May this be your best year yet. #2018,” the mother-to-be wrote on Instagram Monday.

In November, Chip revealed he was eager to get back to growing his family.

“We had four babies right before the show started, and then we’ve had zero babies since the show started,” he told Houston ABC affiliate, KTRK. “For me, I’m really excited to go back and try to maybe . . . try to make some more babies.”

While his wife wasn’t exactly on board. “Maybe . . . We have different answers,” she said.

The couple seem to have swapped opinions on the subject in the last few months. Back in June, Joanna told PEOPLE, “I would love another baby — or twins! The kids are always asking me, ‘Mom, can you have another baby?’ But Chip thinks we’re done.”

And in September, Joanna told PEOPLE: “Family is the most important thing in the world.”

Texas Couple Weds at Chip and Joanna Gaines’ Magnolia Market

Good Celebrity — Thu, 07 Dec 2017 18:54:15 +0000

It’s a Fixer Upper fairytale! Chip and Joanna Gaines’ massive Magnolia Market at the Silos attraction in Waco, Texas, has seen nearly 1.6 million visitors this year alone. But there are two in particular that take the cake as true super fans.

Stacey McNabb and his wife Lora technically had a wedding ceremony back in 2014, but because Stacey forgot to mail in the marriage license, their nuptials weren’t official, according to lifestyle blogger Rachel Teodoro, who shared the couple’s story about the Waco ceremony.

The couple recently moved to Fort Worth and started making the 88-mile trek to their favorite HGTV show host’s shopping destination about once a month. While attending the second annual Silobration, Stacey heard about the Christmas event at the grounds and suggested to Lora that they legalize their marriage there.

“I knew that the decorations for Christmas would add just the right touch for our occasion,” he wrote on the site.

They had originally gotten permission to hold the ceremony during regular business hours. However, days before they were supposed to get hitched, Stacey received an email from customer service explaining the CEO — who happens to be Joanna’s father — didn’t want to move forward “because of how busy they would be” preparing for the holiday party.

As they had already purchased tickets for their pastor and friends and family members, Stacey decided to keep that little detail private and “press forward with our plans.”

Luckily, his risky move paid off (literally). After their 20-minute ceremony, a Magnolia employee approached the couple and revealed he was Jonathan Gulley, a longtime friend of the Gaineses. Gulley had snapped a photo of the sweet exchange and sent it to the famous owners.

“He then told us that Chip and Jo say ‘Congratulations’ and wanted him to give us a $1,000 gift card to the market,” Stacey recalled. “We also got two Strawberry cupcakes from the bakery.”

“We have since shared our story with hundreds of people across the country because it is a confirmation of just what good people Chip and Jo really are,” he said.

As for his relationship with Jo’s dad, it seems all’s well that ends well. After apologizing to him, “Mr. Stevens was gracious and told them not to worry because in the end everything worked out just fine.”

Chip and Joanna Gaines Help an 81-Year-Old Houston Woman Who Lost Everything in Harvey Rebuild

Good Celebrity — Tue, 31 Oct 2017 20:28:00 +0000

Chip and Joanna Gaines are taking some time to give back to Hurricane Harvey victims in their home state of Texas.

On Sunday, the HGTV stars arrived in Houston to get to work remodeling the home of 81-year-old Houston resident Doris Davis, which was badly damaged in the storm.

When Harvey struck, Davis remained in her flooded home for three days before a neighbor rescued her and safely transported her to a local hospital. Now, the Fixer Upper stars, alongside ExxonMobil employee volunteers (the project is in partnership with ExxonMobil and Rebuilding Together Houston) will work to get Davis and her three dogs back to their home in about a month, USA TODAY reports.

“We pulled into town and these boys said, ‘Hey, let’s get to work,’ and I said, ‘Great, you’re speaking my language,’” Chip tells Melissa Correa of KHOU11.

Davis was overjoyed to see the TV handyman, demanding a kiss on both cheeks and telling the local news network, “I mean, I wasn’t expecting this, honey.”

“Fixer Upper” Stars Help Paralyzed Waco Firefighter

Good Celebrity — Wed, 05 Jul 2017 21:09:19 +0000

Fixer Upper stars Chip and Joanna Gaines make a living by transforming houses (and lives) in their hometown of Waco, Texas, but their latest makeover may take the cake.

The HGTV duo recently stepped in to help build a handicapped-accessible home for a paralyzed Waco firefighter and his family.

“Chip and Joanna have offered to pick up the last big ticket item,” Wes Waller, a contractor with UBI Products, told KWTX-TV. “They’re going to pay for the cost of the lumber.”

In May, Garth Goodwin was electrocuted in a freak accident and fell 12-13 feet off a billboard platform, leaving him paralyzed from the neck down. The incident is just the latest challenge for Goodwin and his family, as his 19-year-old son was born without part of his brain and requires round the clock care.

Goodwin’s firefighter friends knew they needed to assist their pal and reached out to Waller in the hopes that he could help in constructing a new home.

“The firemen called, me and they said, ‘Hey, we’re firemen, and we don’t know how to build a house…Can you help us?'” Waller told Fox News. “I said ‘absolutely.'”

Within a week, more than 70 businesses joined in to help and 80 percent of the materials were accounted for. All that was left was the lumber, and that’s when Waller decided to reach out to Chip and Joanna.

“I know Chip and Joanna, they’re huge, and they did connect the last dot, but none of these dots would be connected without the great people from central Texas,” he said. “If anything, this would not be happening if the firefighters wouldn’t have called and asked, ‘What can we do to build a house?'”

Thanks to Chip, Joanna, and the entire Waco community, the Goodwin family should have their new home by Thanksgiving.

“All of us at the Waco Fire Department are thankful for Chip and Joanna and everyone that has stepped up to help our friend and his family,” Firefighter Jay Jeffrey told KWTX-TV.

“The positive impact they are making for Garth, Lisa and Cutter is immeasurable.”
