Fixer Upper: Holidays With Chip and Jo at Magnolia House B&B

'Twas just before Christmas, and Joanna had a great idea: take a stately Victorian she spied on a home tour with clients, and turn it into a charming bed and breakfast -- Fixer Upper style. Check out the "before" pics as well as a sampling of photos from the makeover and holiday preparations.

A New Venture

This sign welcomes guests to the newest addition to the Magnolia House family, Chip and Joanna's new bed and breakfast in a beautifully restored Victorian home.

Chip and Joanna Gaines purchased a "fixer upper" bed and breakfast that's in a great location, but has peeling paint and a lack-luster appearance, as seen on Fixer Upper. (Before #17)

BEFORE

It was Joanna's idea, but her enthusiasm was contagious. When she spotted this regal (albeit neglected) Victorian, Joanna fell in love with the home – and with the idea of transforming it into a bed and breakfast. Soon Chip was on board as well. Want to get the full story and see the 'afters'? Be sure to watch the Fixer Upper holiday B&B special premiering on December 22 on HGTV. And keep coming back to Fixer Upper central for additional pics from the B&B project.
