Fixer Upper: Renovation and Holiday Decor at Magnolia House Bed and Breakfast
'Twas just before Christmas, and Joanna had a great idea: take a beautiful Victorian home that's more than a century old, restore it and turn it into a charming B&B -- Fixer Upper style. Now you can check out the complete makeover in these 77 photos featuring the befores, afters and Joanna's distinctive holiday decorations.
BEFORE: "The Wild West House"
It was Joanna's idea, but her enthusiasm was contagious. This stately (albeit neglected) Victorian in McGregor, Texas was one of the homes Chip and Joanna had shown to clients Jaime and Kyle Ferguson on a home tour. The Fergusons opted for a newer house on a wooded lot, but Joanna positively fell in love with this quaint and historic home built in 1880 – and with the idea of transforming it into a bed and breakfast. It wasn't long before Chip was on board with the project as well.
AFTER: Magnolia House Bed and Breakfast
During the home tour, Chip had dubbed this "The Wild West House" because it was built by a banker in in the late nineteenth century and sometimes served as a makeshift cash repository when money was being transferred via stagecoach. For the renovation, the home's exterior got a new brick skirt, fresh paint and a classic metal roof.
Meet the Homeowners
This time you may recognize them. Chip and Joanna Gaines prepare to take on yet another fixer upper – but this time its one of their own. The soon-to-be bed-and-breakfast is 2800 square feet, has four bedrooms, two baths and comes with a beautiful, private backyard with a gazebo.
