3. When they know just what to say.
"come and watch Fixer Upper with me"
4. When a few Fixer Upper episodes turn you into a professional.
Chip and Joanna have made me go from “this house is nice" to "well what I would do is remove this wall to make an open concept living room/kitchen, add shiplap to the back wall, revamp the fireplace,and add on a nice master suite where the third garage was connected to the house”
5. When it's time for the big reveal...
Chip and Joanna: Are you ready to see your fixer upper?! Me from my living room couch: YEEESSSSSSSS!
6. ...and you can't miss it.
my mom was just dead asleep, snoring but snapped awake when chip and joanna were about to show the new house on an episode of Fixer Upper

chip and joanna gaines could try to sell me a literal dumpster and I’d be like “yeah ok I see your vision here. let’s do it”

Imagine a life where your girlfriend wakes you up at 1:00 AM to tell you that Chip and JoAnna Gains are expecting another child. It’s me...that’s my life...

when most people yell at the tv it’s while watching sports....for me.. it’s when a couple chooses the wrong home on Fixer Upper...

When the people at the end of Fixer Upper don’t break down in tears and or scream I’m just like ????? okay give me the house then lol

parties are fun until it’s 2 in the morning and you realize you’re missing that rerun episode of fixer upper that you’ve seen four times
15. When Fixer Upper makes your accomplishments seem inadequate in comparison.
Just saw my dad cry for one of the few times in my life. Did that happen at my high school graduation or when I left for college? Nope. What did it take? An emotional episode of HGTV’s Fixer Upper.
16. When you want that kind of love.
y’all i just hope someone looks at me someday the way joanna gaines looks at shiplap
