Did all of you catch the news a few weeks back that the show Fixer Upper won’t be coming back after this next season?

Part of me can’t believe it! Fixer Upper is the show I fell in love with before I even started this blog. And when I finally did start my blog, Joanna’s designs had a major influence on my style.

I’ll save the story about why I love farmhouse style home design for another post. 

But all that to say, I couldn’t be more thankful to Chip & Joanna Gaines for the inspiration they have given me over the years when it come to decorating my home.

So if you’re in the same boat as me & want some more Chip & Joanna inspiration for your home, I’ve rounded up 7 books that are perfect for Fixer Upper fans!

These would be the perfect things to treat yourself with after a long day. Oh, & these books would also make great Christmas or birthday presents for a loved one! Just sayin’. 😉

7 Books to Buy for Fixer Upper Fans

 

1. The Magnolia Story*

The legends themselves, Chip & Joanna Gaines, stars of the HGTV show Fixer Upper & founders of the Magnolia enterprise, wrote this book* as a way to document some of the things that have happened to them over the years in order to lead them to where they are today. It’s full of funny & relatable anecdotes that inspired me, especially as a wanna-be entrepreneur and home decor enthusiast. Chip & Jo know how to work hard at things they love, & that spoke volumes to me! I loved this book so much. And I want to read it again soon, because it was that good!

P.S. If you want to read the full review I did on this book a few months back, you can read that here.

 

 

2. Capital Gaines*

My husband & I really enjoyed getting a glimpse into Chip’s entrepreneurial mindset in The Magnolia Story*. And that means we are all the more excited to get our hands on Capital Gaines*, the brand new book written by Chip Gaines! This book delves even more into Chip’s business failures & wins, & the all the things he has learned along the way. If you enjoyed The Magnolia Story, & want even more Chip Gaines, then by all means you need to read this book, too!

3. So Close to Amazing*

I’m a perfectionist. There, I’ve said it. And sometimes my perfectionism gets the better of me when I’m decorating a room & can’t figure out just how to make it absolutely perfect. So when I saw that the super talented blogger over at Thistlewood Farms (KariAnne Wood) wrote a book* about how to embrace the imperfections in life, I knew I had to put it on my t0-read list! This book comes with DIY project ideas & tutorials as well. How awesome is that?!
