The House
Right around the time Brittany and Andy York were finalizing construction plans for their 2,000-square-foot Calhoun, LA, farmhouse, Fixer Upper made its debut on HGTV. While Chip and Joanna Gaines revived home after dated home across Waco, TX, Brittany got hooked on Joanna’s fresh design sense. “It was fun to watch a show that so closely matched my own style,” says Brittany, who took cues from the episodes as she picked fixtures and furniture for the new place, from shiplap to subway tile.
Like Joanna, Brittany loves decorating with vintage finds that other people might cast off as junk, and she follows the show closely for inspiration. “I visit Joanna’s blog after every episode and save my favorite photos from the show to my phone. I have an entire album dedicated to Fixer Upper. I hope Joanna would say I did her proud.”
