Chip and Joanna found original shiplap paneling under dated drywall in this Craftsman-style home, but you can purchase salvaged or new pine boards to create the look at home.

Create a taste of rustic style by adding wooden box awnings over your home's windows, like Joanna Gaines did in this Craftsman-style living room. Or, use the weathered wood to create a built-in bookshelf.

Fixer Upper hosts Chip and Joanna Gaines brought in shiplap for a paneled feature wall behind the farmhouse sink. A white subway tile backsplash and quartzite countertops add a modern element to the rustic space.

Complement rustic shiplap with industrial elements, like this sculptural shelving unit made from plumbing pipe and pine planks.

To create a cottage-style space that features all the texture associated with shiplap, just reach for the white paint.

Here, a portion of shiplap wood siding has been uncovered, painted white and framed to elegantly extend the fireplace mantel.

Here, painted shiplap walls add subtle texture to this open, airy living room.

Bright white paint adds a modern touch atop the pine ceiling, and reflects light around the open living room.

Choosing one wall material for an open concept home unifies connected spaces. Here, designer Joanna Gaines repeated the painted shiplap walls in this home's living room and entryway.

For an more contemporary look, Chip and Joanna Gaines paired painted shiplap siding with thick, streamlined wood shelves in this built-in shelving unit.

Since shiplap was commonly used as insulation in farmhouse-style homes, check under the existing wall surface before starting a renovation project. In this home featured in HGTV Magazine, designer Joanna Gaines found shiplap walls hidden under crumbling wallpaper. She peeled off the dated pattern and reinvigorated the room with a fresh coat of white paint.

For a more rustic painted look, copy the look from Joanna Gaines' home kitchen: white-wash the pine surface to add brightness without covering the wood's characteristic knots and imperfections. 

Rough-hewn pine boards overhead draw the eye up to the vaulted ceiling in this bedroom designed by Chip and Joanna Gaines.

Chip and Joanna Gaines decked out this master bathroom with new gray paint and a shiplap accent wall.

White elements, like the tub, countertops and accessories, keep spaces featuring rough-hewn wood siding feeling light and airy.

Love the look of pine paneling? Try it on your home's exterior, like Chip and Joanna did on this midcentury modern-style home.

Church pews are a great addition to the entryway and can be dressed up with seasonal pillows for a fresh look. And with many modern churches switching to theater-style seating, these classic seats are fairly easy to come by. Side note: They are also fairly pricy, so if you find a good deal, you'd better snatch it up.

While finding two armchairs that are identical and in good shape can be a challenge, traditional wingback chairs always seem to be available. Consider buying two that are similar but not matching and recovering the pair in your favorite fabric. 

Wooden ladders are super versatile, and lucky for us, they are also readily available. Great for hanging blankets, magazines and even high heels, these ladders are a cute accessory with major functionality.

From watering cans to buckets to troughs, galvanized containers are a huge flea market staple. And since they are so plentiful, it shouldn't be too hard to find one for the right price. 

Glass jars are plentiful at flea markets, and the best thing about them is you can always be adding unique looks to your collection. Like the shelves of green jars and gorgeous glassware seen here, more is definitely better.

Add an instant cool factor to your shelves or buffet table with a vintage fan. Though not difficult to come by, these fans can be on the pricier end of thrift-store merchandise. Opt for one that hasn't been restored to save a little money and still get a great look. 

Pay homage to the past with a fun collection of vintage soda bottles. But be careful with this one —many stores will sell bottle reproductions that aren't actually worth anything. But if you're just going for the look, new might be a cheaper option. 

Usually all metal, bird cages can add interest to any space. The stunning versions you can find antiquing vary in price depending on size and the condition they are in. If you're interested in adding one to your home decor, this is one item you'll want to take your time to find the right price. 

Mantels can instantly add depth and architectural interest to your home. Though easy to find, you'll want to consider the style you are looking for rather than buying the first one you see. While the more detailed versions do run a little higher, it may be worth the extra cost in the end. If you plan to paint your mantel, little details and intricate carvings really help it shine. 

While it may seem like everything is chalkboard these days, the green classroom chalkboard is actually more of a rarity. You may find one that is still on the rolling display, which would be great for a kid's playroom. To achieve the look seen here, just remove the screws and hang it wherever you hope to add some schoolhouse charm. 

While you may not be lucky enough to find a portion of a windmill, scrap metal and industrial pieces are a dime a dozen. From metal mattress springs to old metal typeset drawers, these pieces are just waiting to be reused as wall art, furniture beginnings and more. 

Perfect for a long table, Joanna regularly upcycles wooden tool boxes as charming centerpieces. Whether you find a wooden or metal version, tool boxes are easy to find when thrifting and can be used as planters, to hold towels and to keep toiletries corralled. Really, the options are endless.

Vintage scales look amazing in the kitchen. The most common versions are countertop scales, but hanging scales like the one seen here are not too hard to come by. Side note: If you actually plan to use a kitchen scale for weighing food, you may want to consider a new version with vintage charm. 

Books are always a great decor option. And the great part about this design is that the titles don't even matter. Simply pick up a few well-loved books at your local flea market and display proudly for an instant shabby-chic effect.

One of Joanna's favorite pieces to work with, metal baskets are just as useful as they are stylish. They come in all shapes and sizes. Consider buying an old metal locker basket. These little slices of history are often found in thrift stores and work with many different design styles.

Industrial furniture, such as old post office cabinets and hotel mail slots, is easier to come by than you might expect. The downside with these pieces is that if they are in good condition, (and often even when they are not) they fall on the pricier side of the thrift-store scale. 

Small, large and in between, old glass windows are an easy flea market find that can be used to add some rustic charm to an empty wall. And if you're really feeling creative, consider painting them or adding a few colorful jars to display flowers as Joanna did here. 

Vintage signs are easy wall decor that tell a story, and since perfectly-distressed signs aren't readily available at every store, this is the type of thrift store find you want to grab when you find it. Even if it won't work in your house, chances are you'll find a friend or family member that is dying to get their hands on it. 

Rustic, industrial and perfect for storage, wooden crates are one of Joanna's go-to decorations. You can definitely find these used, but it may be cheaper to opt for new in this case. Side note: If you want vintage, old soda crates are easy to find with typically fair prices. 

If you have something specific in mind, you'll likely leave the thrift store disappointed, but if interesting furniture is your goal, there are so many fantastic options. And don't get stuck on the original purpose of the piece. Here, this antique cobbler's bench works as a unique side table with tons of character.

Though double desks aren't around every corner, wooden school desks are pretty common. If you like this look, consider buying two and placing them together for a similar effect. 

While they likely won't be a perfect fit for your front entrance, vintage doors can also be used as a decorative wall hanging like Joanna did here. Old screen doors are a popular thrift store find that can be used as decor or even transformed as a useful spot to hang jewelry, cooking utensils or whatever your heart desires. 

What was once a service building and working barn in the countryside near Waco has been transformed into this unique, spacious and stylized home – dubbed by Chip Gaines "The Barn-dominium."  

The barn's center breezeway has been converted into this elongated dining space with a massive farm table that can accommodate up to 16 guests. 

Mix-and-match wooden chairs, lantern lights and rustic country accents help provide the dining space a welcoming and casual vibe. 

The recipe for this visually balanced kitchen includes plenty of natural wood to help soften the bold visual impact of the black-and-white patterned tile and the contrasting cabinets and countertops.

The kitchen, located on the second floor, effectively marries contemporary elements like stainless appliances and black metal railing with more rustic and utilitarian basics such as concrete countertops and a custom island in unpainted wood finish.

In addition to the grand dining hall downstairs, this second-floor dining area adjacent to the kitchen is ideal for casual dining and family meals.

Walls were removed on the second floor to create a mixed use space that incorporates kitchen, dining and living areas.

A work desk and integrated bookshelves are tucked neatly under the newly reconfigured stairs.

This downstairs boys' bedroom comes with a great view and some special kid features a la Joanna.

Hosts Chip and Joanna Gaines with homeowners Todd and Lexia Meek in their new dining room. The Meeks were looking for a place with character in a country setting with some acreage and ample space for a family of five. Their wish list included 4 bedrooms, a large kitchen and a space for entertaining. They were working with an all-in budget of $359,000 and were willing to consider something a little outside the mainstream.

"Outside the mainstream" is exactly what the Meeks got when they opted for this former horse-barn with concrete slab floors and absolutely no frills. It sits on a 16-acre tract, was built in 1980 and had been partially renovated to added a modest upstairs apartment. Prior to the renovation, the entrance was via outside stairs and this second story porch. List price for the land and barn was $180,000.

Large windows and traditional barn doors add a dramatic flourish to the new entrance for the beautifully remodeled ground floor. The outside stairs and upper porch were removed and an impressive set of doors added to replace the metal garage door that was there previously. 

In the boys' bedroom, Joanna used LEGO blocks to fashion this replica of the Meeks' newly converted barn home.

Joanna's recommendations for this first floor space included replacing the existing garage door with a new entry package, adding hardwood floors, new walls and French doors leading into an informal den.

The statement piece in the dining room is the 17-foot farm table custom designed and built by furniture artisan Clint Harp.

The first-floor design plan also called for two bedrooms and additional bath.

Other key elements in the dining space include new French doors, lantern style pendant lights, a custom designed wall feature and rustic coat rack.

On HGTV's Fixer Upper, the barn home's formal dining room's custom wall art is simple and welcoming. Potted plants in rustic containers add greenery as well as a fun centerpiece to the dining table.

The plan for the upstairs apartment included removal of some existing walls to create a large living area and adding large windows on the front side of the barn.

The old popcorn ceiling was removed and shiplap walls, baseboards and molding added as well as new recessed lighting and chandelier.

The renovation budget for the barn conversion was $180,000. A large portion of that went to infrastructure and utility upgrades such as adding HVAC and upgrading plumbing and electrical for the downstairs portion of the structure. The estimate for the upstairs kitchen upgrade was $30,000.

As seen on HGTV's Fixer Upper, the barn home's second story was completely transformed into a spacious eat in kitchen. The walls were removed to open the space and a new kitchen and dining room were added to allow for more hosting.

The barn conversion is one of the more distinctive and unusual Fixer Uppers that Chip and Joanna have undertaken, and it offers a taste of the types of elements that might be incorporated into their new headquarters at Magnolia Silos. Distinguishing exterior features seen here include a classic metal roof, extra large windows, sliding barn doors and exterior gooseneck lamps.

A bathroom renovation is a messy job, but someone's got to do it. Luckily, Chip and Joanna Gaines are always up to the task. Browse the duo's most beautiful designs and get ideas for your own bathroom makeover.

Genny and Russ Davis fell in love with a family-friendly neighborhood in Woodway, Texas. This bathroom? Not so much.

Chip and Jo expanded the bathroom, turning it into a luxurious master suite with dual vanities.

Decked out in Carrara marble, the new shower is a functional work of art.

Expanding the bathroom left plenty of room for this beautiful built-in, perfect for storing towels, cleaning supplies and other essentials. See the entire home remodel.

First-time homebuyers Kelsey and Trip took a chance on their Waco, Texas, home. With cracked tiles and foundation issues, the small bathroom was slowly but surely falling apart.

Chip and Jo removed the old tile, painted the walls a light yellow and added beadboard panels. The floor tiles add a unique charm that matches the home's vintage style.

For the shower, they chose white subway tile with a dark grout to keep it looking nice and clean. A ruffled shower curtain adds a fun, feminine flair.

We'd argue the reno's standout feature is the vanity — Chip and Jo revived an old dresser, giving it a fresh coat of paint in a warm gray, then added two vessel sinks with old-fashioned hardware. To top it all off, they hung a pair of ornate wood mirrors above the vanity. See more amazing designs from this episode.

This recently married couple's master bath had lots of space, but an awkward layout and dated look.

Twin vanities with vessel sinks, glass-front cabinets and a calming color palette outfit the updated bathroom. A new walk-in closet is a welcome added bonus.

Stone tile flooring and a glass-enclosed shower with granite tile give off an upscale hotel vibe. See more photos from this episode.

Chip, Joanna and newlyweds Kimberly and Blake could see the potential in this master bath.

Chip and Joanna Gaines refinished the original clawfoot tub and used shiplap to create an accent wall. A large mirror framed with matching wood helps pull the entire space together.

Chip and Joanna also gave the space a romantic, personal touch by etching the homeowners' favorite quote in sheet metal. See the rest of Kimberly and Blake's makeover.

Gray tile left the master bath in this '60s-inspired home feeling cramped and gloomy.

Trading in the tub for a shower and an earthy color palette make the newly remodeled bathroom feel larger and brighter.

Poured concrete countertops and wood shelving add much-needed texture to the formerly stark bathroom. Dual faucets installed on the walls uphold the original midcentury vibe and save counter space, too. See more stunning photos from this makeover.

Angela, a Tallahassee transplant, needed a space that could acommodate both her young son and mother.

The new bathroom features a tiled walk-in shower, quartz countertops and pops of orange against a neutral color scheme. More from this episode.

Finding a home to support Paul and Deanna King's large family in a small Texas town presented a challenge for Chip and Jo — and so did the tiny, dated master bathroom.

The master bathroom features black granite countertops with double vanity sinks. The remodel also included refinishing an antique clawfoot tub, a gift from Deanna's brother. See the full makeover.

The master bath in this couple's fixer upper had actually already been renovated, but didn't match the modern coastal style they had their hearts set on.

Chip and Joanna outfitted the bathroom with new tile, a storage center for linens and other essentials and an enclosed-glass shower. See more before-and-afters from this episode.

Homeowner Carolyn loved the layout of the master bath of her craftsman home; however, the black tiles made the space feel dark and cramped.

Chip and Jo went for big and bright in the new bathroom, replacing the black tile with glossy white subway tile and beadboard wainscoting.

The renovated bathroom also includes this charming vanity with marble countertops and a trough sink. See more of this Texas mom's home makeover.
