The Aptly Named "Tree House"
This '60s-era home in Woodway, Texas -- seen here after a Fixer Upper makeover -- has a particular feature that earned it the nickname "tree house." A large live oak is situated so close to the front entrance that it appears almost to part of the house itself.

Mr. Gaines, Tear Down This Wall?
The homeowners' initial thought was to eliminate this outdoor brick partition -- which they nicknamed "the Alamo wall." But Joanna convinced them that, with a few creative additions and some fresh landscaping, the wall could help delineate and revitalize an underutilized outdoor space.

Meet the Family
Genny and Russ accepted the challenge of a renovation, in part because they loved the location. Woodway is an established neighborhood in the Waco area with large lots, beautiful trees, parks and access to good schools.

Outdoor Dining Area, AFTER
"I like to make quirky spaces funtional and pretty," says Joanna Gaines. Once she convinced the homeowners not to remove the oddly placed brick wall, Joanna had it repainted to match the home's exterior and set about creating this separate space for outdoor dining and entertaining.

Dining Room, BEFORE
The dining room, before the renovation, offered plenty of space but kitchen access was limited. Joanna suggested removing a wall to open and brighten things up. She also suggested enclosing the nook at the far end of this room, turning that space into a new home office.
