They have an empire! The power couple have five children together and run Magnolia, their company that includes a network which will launch at a later date
The power couple snapped up their 1895 farmhouse in 2012.
It needed plenty of work at the time but they were only too happy to do the overhaul as they certainly have the expertise for it.
It started of as a two-bedroom property and now can sleep seven. Walls were torn down for an open floor plan which the Gaines’ are known for.
The whole project took over a year to complete.
They have five kids: Drake, 14, Ella Rose, 12, Duke, 11, and Emmie Kay, nine. Crew Gaines is one.

There was a white fence near lush green grass and beautiful pink roses.
‘A walk on the wild side,’ said the entrepreneur.
Gaines has said she likes the kitchen the most: ‘It’s the heart of the home for me. No matter how much is going on, I don’t feel overwhelmed because the palette is very clean and fresh.’
A good space to have a coffee break: Off the kitchen is a lounge area that is on the side of the stairs
Another angle: The sitting room has a white sofa and an old wood table with shutters on the wall
Rustic charm in Texas: There is also an old-fashioned brick fireplace that has a white wood trim
And there is a massive island to help with her cooking.
It used to be the communion table in an old church.
‘It is now the focal point and anchor for my kitchen,’ wrote Joanna on her blog. ‘Once I determined where I wanted it, the rest of the kitchen fell in to place.’
Their bedroom has a chic country design with an iron-framed bed beneath a chandelier.
Cappuccino or espresso? And there is a coffee bar that included two machines and plenty of mugs on the wall
Full of treasures: The farm house has several well-worn antiques that capture a bygone era
Joanna converted the farmhouse den into a nursery for her youngest child, Crew.
‘Jo has had a ball working on the nursery,’ Chip told CountryLiving.com of the design process.
‘It’s been eight years since we’ve done a nursery for ourselves, and she’s really been having fun with picking out details like colors and bedding and the crib.’
The master bedroom where Chip and Joanna rest: They have a rod iron bed and a matching chandelier
The attic was turned into two craft rooms.
There is a long farmhouse table for all of her fun projects with the kids.
There is also a cute greenhouse and outdoor dining area with a long table near their garden with a roomy shed, and rows of garden beds.
Filming from the farmhouse: She has given interviews from the porch; this one was interrupted by her dog, right
Another look at the big house with so many quaint nooks: Jennifer Aniston said she liked this image of roses in a window; this image was shared on April 12
Before and after: The house was originally in bad shape and had only two bedrooms; the couple completely made it over
Also this week they shared some fresh content.
Though the launch of their Magnolia Network has been delayed due to COVID-19, earlier this week Joanna shared a clip of their new show.
‘Join me and @chipgaines for a 4-hour special as we take a walk down memory lane,’ she began.
They grow things too: The family added a garden with several boxes for planting herbs
And another area: A shed was built which matched the main house; there is also an outdoor dining area
A greenhouse really adds so much charm: Here they grow flowers and other plants
The show will take fans ‘to where it all began with Fixer Upper.’
And she promised a ‘look ahead at what’s to come on the new Magnolia Network.’ ⠀
‘We just couldn’t wait til the official network launch to share what we’ve been working on, so join us for an exciting sneak peek! ⠀⠀
