Casa su misura

There is always this hype of buying a home. Those feelings you get when you get to find a place to call your own. This show allows you to live that dream of a new home over and over again. It's fun to see what home they choose, what choices they have to make down the road, how much they end up paying for renovations, it is all just a feel good show.

Per the other review I got to rebuttal against it. The owners of Magnolia have a style. They like their style and stick with it. If you watch 3 or more of the shows you will realize what they like to do so I won't spoil the feeling for you all. The thing is if I were to see a different style in every home they did I would think they had more then one person pulling the strings on how the renovation goes. Since there seems to be a running theme of every home they renovate, it shows that they are truly the ones running their company and not doing it for the TV show. Its like an artist. you might see different styles during the early career of an artist but they always tend to stick to a style... at least for a while. That is exactly what is happening on this show. A style has been chosen and made better till its generally excepted by most clients. The style they use is really an amazing setup. In the end the home buyers get to chose what is in their house and it just seems like these two know how to make the house look good for any type of style you put into it.

As for requests I wish I could get a "1 year later" view. Also I would like a low down on the portions of the house that were not renovated and how the home owners spiced those portions up to make it livable in those other areas. Maybe they could do some shows on "we went back to this clients house a couple months later and renovated the rest of the house and this is how it went...". I would also like a low down on how much the client would have to spend for the staging if they want it...

All in all just a feel good show. Fun to see the issues they come across and get to know their crew as people. Not a lot of "how to" or DIY in it...those are other shows. This show is more just about the drama of the whole thing.

This show is entertaining for the first few times you watch it. Then after while you realize that these two are one trick ponies.

They certainly seem like wonderful people and they are very talented. The houses they renovate are done beautifully. But the problem here is that, like the Property Brothers, everything they do looks alike.

They love shabby chic. They love beige and gray and taupe. Looking at one of the houses they do is like looking at a black and white or sepia photo.

I would be impressed if they could show a little range. If they could do something other than shabby chic/country and if they could use some color in their houses.

I just love this show!! I think Chip is hysterical! Those who don't are just boring people that live boring lives. Joanna is priceless and so talented. I love how she decorates and she seems to find the most unique decorations. Plus, her eye for how to improve the layout of a home is amazing. They take a dilapidated house and turn it into a true dream house. I don't see how they do all that they do for really...such a small amount of money. They are just magicians. Chip's skill and craftsmanship is amazing too. It is so rewarding to see a loving, funny and talented family on TV. I can't get enough of it! I hope this show stays on the air for a long time!!! Kudos to Chip and Joanna Gaines.

Chip and Joanna the Perfect Pair Do you have the guts to take on a fixer upper? You know the show we all love it Chip and Joanna are the perfect pair. Joanna has a background in real estate and interior design. Chip has a background in construction. Together they have created a show that takes the worst house in the best neighborhood and turns it into their client's dream home. It is called Fixer Upper. From there farm house to the houses that they build it is truly a masterpiece, that in my opinion can be called the best TV show ever. I love the exterior to the interior adventures that they take you on from the very beginning of the show from picking the house to the finished product it truly a very interesting adventure. Let's talk about the beginning of the show. It always starts out with Chip Joanna and their family at their farm house. It is fun to see them in a real life setting, although it does seem a little sugar coated. I wish that it could be a little more realistic in showing their real day to day lives. It is nice to see that they have an order to the show but on the other hand though It can sometimes put you to sleep because you know what is going to happen next. In the very beginning when the customer is introduced I wish that they could make it a little more interesting by saying just a little bit more about themselves, so that you can connect with them better. I also wish that Chip and Joanna could show you how they picked the 3 houses to show to their customer so that you could feel that you were a part of that process as well. When Chip and Joanna meet the customers they are always so nice and friendly to everyone it makes you feel like you are their friend. It is so cool how they invite the customer into their own home it makes everything seem more real. What's Today! Demo Day! I absolutely love demo day it is one of my favorite parts of the show. It is so fun to see Chip and his gang completely gut the entire house. One of my other favorite parts of the show is when Joanna gets to pick out the floor the cabinets and the absolute best part the furniture. I absolutely love Joanna she is so creative and fun she is definitely the cherry on top of the entire show. Now we get to my absolute favorite part of the entire show. When they reveal to their customer their dream home that they have waited so long for. I love how they have a big canvas in front of the house reminding you as an audience member and the customer what it looked like before they started remodeling. Once everyone is ready they ask the customer "Are you ready to see your fixer upper?" Then Chip and Joanna pull back the canvas to reveal the amazing new house that awaits their customer. The houses no matter what shape or size they come in they always turn them into a masterpieces. It is so amazing to see the house go through such a dramatic transformation from when the customer buys it to when they have turned it into a dream home. Chip and Joanna are such a good team they are both so creative when it comes to remodeling and they have such a passion for doing it. Because of them so many people are able to have their dream home because of this show.

This is an amazing show and I love every second of it. It is everything that you need in a good TV show it's funny interesting and of course amazing and it is all because Chip and Joanna are the perfect pair.

Like many of the other reviews, I DO like the show, but I want to echo some of the comments.

I have no problem with their personalities; Chip jokes around but he knows what he's doing. Joanna is a bit serious, but has design talent. Their clients are all hetro couples, unlike other HGTV programs. Their apparent strict rules about life styles makes the program stick out as not being typical of HGTV's mission.

On the design side, I find that taking down walls and creating a typically fashionable great room look is boring as hell. Does everyone in Waco want the same style? Why must all brick be painted? Why is there typically a lack of color and style flair? Perhaps they select clients with the same style aesthetic as the Gaines have. Who knows? Other HGTV shows like Property Brothers and House Hunters VARY the type of people looking for properties, as well as VARY the style of the clients. "Fixer Upper" does not.

Finally, I understand that none of the furnishings remain with the clients, unlike "Property Brothers", where the clients often use some of their old furniture.
