Have you seen HGTV's Fixer Upper by Magnolia Homes? It is our new favorite. I am quite behind on TV these days and my Mom actually told me about the show. Love it. This is a really cute couple, Chip and Joanna, that renovate homes for a living. He does a lot of the muscle work and figuring out the logistics...and she does the design. Perfect combo if you ask me!
One of our favorite (past times) things to do is watch these type of shows on weekend mornings while we drink coffee/tea and have breakfast. Well, I realized this past Sunday that hasn't happened in a long, long time because we have been so busy. It was so nice to watch some lazy tv on Sunday morning. And we both loved the style of the Fixer Upper homes we saw done. Sometimes I can't watch these design shows because things are so modern and impersonal it makes my skin crawl. But I love, love Magnolia's style. It's actually quite different than mine but I really appreciate it. Everything has a purpose and character. What I want!

And in case you wondered (like me) Joanna sells some of her items online.

I love this show too! It is a nice change of pace from the home buying shows and the very modern design of some of the other design shows. They seems to make the most of their renovation budget as well.
How in the world have I never heard of this show? I am an HGTV junkie too--when does it come on? Must watch now, because those pictures are gorgeous!
My husband was friends with Chip in college. He was impressed that he married so well and ended up with a show! ;) Said he's a great guy.
Love the wreath - wonder how easy a DIY would be?
AH! Adore this show and them as couple haha they are too cute! The last one with the built-ins and fab light fixture in the living room was my favorite so far!
That white kitchen with hints of natural wood really works. and I am seriously loving the golden light fixture.
You post lovely stuff on your blog and it is always a jo y looking around :)
