Joanna Gaines Reveals Glimpse at Renovations to Her Texas Farmhouse—as Her Stunning Kitchen Is Demolished by Workers

Home renovation guru Joanna Gaines is putting her talents to good use inside her own Texas farmhouse—revealing that the kitchen space inside her family's home is undergoing an extensive overhaul that has seen it almost entirely gutted of its original finishes.

The Magnolia Network co-founder, 48, and her husband, Chip, 51, have been living inside the Crawford property, which is just outside of Waco, since 2019 when they bought it to serve as a primary residence for their family, including daughters Ella, 19, and Emmie, 16, and sons Drake, 21, Duke, 17, and Crew, 7.

In the years since, the property has featured prominently on the couple's social media accounts, as well as in their various home renovation shows, including their popular Magnolia network series "Fixer Upper: The Castle," which premiered in 2022.

Set on 40 acres, the dwelling has already undergone extensive updates conceived by the talented home design duo—however Joanna revealed in a recent social media post that they are now focusing their efforts on a complete overhaul of their kitchen.

In a video shared to Instagram, Gaines showed off the work that has thus far been done in her kitchen while eating her breakfast.

The star could be seen munching on a breakfast burrito in the clip, which then panned over to her kitchen, which was filled with construction workers who have already made extensive progress on gutting the space, removing the existing cabinets and fixtures.

"Breakfast with a side of sawdust. #FarmReno," she captioned the clip.

However, it appears that the Gaines family has a ways to go before they will actually be able to use their kitchen once again, with the space currently left almost entirely bare of all appliances.

The home pro's fans flocked to the comments section to express their excitement about the space, begging Gaines to continue to provide updates.

"I can't imagine redoing your kitchen when it was already so beautiful!" one person said.

Another social media user added, "Love this! Can't wait to see the finished product!!!!"

Gaines has previously opened up about her farmhouse updates, revealing that she was also going to be transforming her son's nursery into a walk-in pantry and expansive baking room.

The design expert frequently shows off her farmhouse, which she has previously branded her forever home, on her social media, showcasing the expansive amount of lush greenery.

In one video, she showed Chip carrying their two dogs on the grass, before then panning over to the many other animals they share including their chickens, cows, and horses.

"Sunset on the farm. Sleep tight cutie animals," she captioned the clip.

Joanna previously opened up about life inside her Waco farmhouse during an appearance on the "Today" show, sharing a glimpse inside some of the tips and tricks that viewers will find on her new show, "Magnolia Table: At the Farm," which she hosts with Chip.

The on-air renovations expert, who hosts the show inside her own dwelling, explained that one of the "weird" ways she tries to make the abode more appealing to visitors is keeping an array of treats on offer in her kitchen at all times—a tradition she said was started by a wedding gift she and Chip received in 2003.

"There’s a cake plate stand on the island that since I first got married—it was like the first year, I got it for a wedding gift, and it was empty," she explained. "We had so many friends and family coming in, and I was like, ‘I need to start having something in there,’ so it was kind of a weird rule I made."

To this day, Joanna said, she continues to keep the cake stand fully stocked with some kind of baked good to offer guests—or her children—whenever they want a sweet treat.

"The rule is just kind of always have something on the cake plate stand for the family or for guests," she said.

However, she conceded that, after her two eldest kids moved out of the family's abode to attend college, she ends up being the person who partakes most often.

"It’s really me now just eating the stuff, so that’s fun. It’s now for me," she joked.

"Magnolia Table: At the Farm" marks a new chapter for the Gaines family, who had previously used a separate kitchen to film different installments of the series in a bid to preserve their own home as a safe haven.

To ensure that their family didn't suffer too much disruption, Joanna revealed that she put in place some strict restrictions around when filming could take place—and how many people were allowed in their dwelling at a time during production.

Joanna also previously discussed how difficult it would be to have Ella move out of their home when she left for college.

"Ella, our second kiddo, she's graduating this year. So we're going through that again with another kid leaving the nest and trying to stay emotionally stable," the mother of five explained, prompting Chip to ask: "Do you think this is going to be harder [than it was with Drake]?"

"Yes. I think there's an emotional difference," she conceded.

Because she and Ella tend to spend more time together during the day, she believes she's going to feel a much bigger hole in her life than she did when her son moved out, Joanna explained.

"With Ella, we love to go to antiques shops, plant shops, and go get coffee—that's our rhythm. I kind of feel like I'm losing a friend in my everyday life," she said.
