Chip and Joanna renovated an ordinary looking brick house in the Mountainview neighborhood of Waco to create this beautiful first home for a young couple moving back to Texas after a stint in Tennessee.

Several walls were removed to create this open floor plan that combines kitchen, dining area and living room.

A newly configured foyer with dark columns and wood paneling opens onto the living room to create a visually striking formal entry to the home.

The kitchen is enlarged and remodeled with a simple design and fresh, clean aesthetic.
