Jenny Marrs is sharing an emotional message she hopes will help others. As the Marrs family continues to grieve following a heartbreaking year of loss, the HGTV star finds comfort in these powerful words.


Jenny Marrs Shares a Heartfelt Message About Faith & Hope

On December 8, Marrs took to Instagram to share a powerful message from years ago that still speak to her today.

“Eight years ago, I shared this photo and these words,” she wrote in the caption. “My weary heart needed to read them again today and maybe someone else’s does too … “

The photo showed a Christmas tree ornament featuring a photo of her daughter Sylvie. “As I sit by the glow of the tree, steaming coffee in hand, reading about hope and fear and faith … I glance up, right into these eyes,” Marrs wrote.

She continued, “My Sylvie girl … the ornament we hung years ago, with aching, hopeful, anxious, longing hearts. Our first Christmas with a daughter across an ocean. We didn’t know of the fight in front of us. We didn’t know the days of waiting would turn to months and the months would turn to years. We only knew God called us to say yes to this little girl, yes to an unknown path, yes to hurting and pain and loss and boundless love.”

The HGTV star noted, “He also continually whispered the words I read again just this morning before looking up to the tree and this ornament, ‘Don’t be afraid. Just trust me.’ (Mark 5:36b)”

Marrs shared her hope that this simple reminder could help her fans in some way. “I don’t know what you’re facing today, as we enter the season of Advent and walk toward Christmas Day,” she wrote. “But I know when you are grieving or longing for healing or waiting for your baby or hurting deeply, this season can be harder than most.”

Marrs shared, “It can be a reminder, not of the Hope we look to, but of the one miracle or unanswered prayer just out of reach. If you’re in the pain, desperate for Hope, hear His words again: Don’t be afraid. Just trust me.'”

She concluded with a note about faith and hope. “He is faithful and trustworthy. His story for us is never our story for us but it is always good,” Marrs shared. “He has a plan and a purpose and every tear and every moment of waiting and hurting will someday be redeemed. Maybe this side of eternity, maybe not. But someday, it will all be made new. That is the Hope we can cling to.”


Jenny Marrs’ Fans Welcome Her ‘Beautiful Reminder’

The comments section was flooded with messages from fans who praised Marrs for sharing the important words.

“Look what a beautiful young lady she has turned into. All you faith, love and hope you have changed her world. So blessed,” one fan noted.

Another commenter wrote, “Beautiful! Thank you so much for this important reminder. I needed it today. God bless you and your beautiful family!”

“These words brought tears to my eyes,” one fan shared. “Been going through a whole lot and being reminded of God’s words helps. Thank you.”

Others wrote, “A beautiful reminder of God’s plans and His faithfulness” and “Thank you for sharing. I needed to read this today.”

Jimmy Don Holmes became a fan-favorite during his time on HGTV's 'Fixer Upper.' Where is the metal worker now?

Jimmy Don Holmes became a fan-favorite during his time on HGTV‘s “Fixer Upper.” The Texas native would often help Chip and Joanna Gaines build one-of-a-kind pieces for their home renovation clients.

However, since “Fixer Upper” ended in 2018, fans have not been given an update on what Jimmy Don has been up to.


Jimmy Don Holmes Reveals How He Got His Start

Jimmy Don is active on social media, where fans can follow along on his latest metalwork projects.

He recently opened up about the origin of his beloved business, explaining that the first “decorative” welded piece he designed was “ranch entrance letters.”

“It’s rewarding,” he said of getting his start in the early 1990s. “Looking back, it was awful. But it was rewarding because you try to cut them as smooth as you could, but they’re still jagged.


Jimmy Don Owns a Successful Business

The metal worker owns a popular Waco, Texas, shop located just steps from the famous Magnolia Silos.

“The Gaineses have been good to me, and I love them to death,” Jimmy Don said in a December 2018 interview with the Waco-Tribune Herald. “I would not do anything to jeopardize that relationship.”

At the time, JDH Iron Designs was seeing around 400 visitors a day at his mobile shop in Waco. He also owns a flagship store in Valley Mills, Texas.

“Joanna [Gaines] made me famous. I tried to deny that for a couple of years, but now I admit it,” he added. “I love it.”


Chip and Joanna Renovated a Home for Jimmy Don’s Son

In 2018, the Magnolia owners renovated a cabin on Jimmy Don’s Crawford, Texas, property for his son, Jake.

The 750-square-foot was partially unfinished and vacant for years, according to HGTV.

“I think right when you walk in, there are just so many really cool features — from the little fireplace to the accent wall, but also just the metal cabinets, the stairwell, that huge window on the side,” Joanna said. “We packed a lot of good stuff in a small space.”

Jake has since moved out of the cabin with his wife, and Jimmy Don later rented it out as a vacation rental.

Jack now works with his father at JDH Iron Designs, and was recently seen in a social media post showing fans “the process behind each piece at JDH Iron Designs.”

“Craftsmanship runs in the family,” the caption read.

‘Property Brothers’ Reveal Past Rift and How They Overcame It https://entertainmentnow.com/hgtv/drew-jonathan-scott-rift-money/?adt_ei=[email] https://entertainmentnow.com/hgtv/drew-jonathan-scott-rift-money/#respond Thu, 11 Dec 2025 18:05:14 +0000 https://entertainmentnow.com/?p=5598758 drew scott, jonathan scott

'Property Brothers' Drew and Jonathan Scott revealed why one was paid more than the other and how they overcame the rift it caused.

“Property Brothers” Drew and Jonathan Scott seem to come as a package deal in all their business ventures. However, the HGTV stars revealed why one was paid more than the other and how they overcame the rift it caused.


Drew and Jonathan Scott Reveal Past Rift Over Pay Disparity

While appearing on “Andy Cohen Live” in July, the host asked the identical twin brothers whether or not their bank accounts are also identical, which Jonathan confirmed was not the case.

“If I went into both of your bank accounts, I think you both have exactly the same money, basically. Is one of you richer than the other?” Andy Cohen asked on the July 10 episode of his SiriusXM series.

According to Jonathan, he “used to film three times more than Drew.”

He explained, “[Drew] would be there in the beginning, and then he would come back at the end of an episode, and I was there doing the work. I remember after doing this for 10 years — ‘cause we’ve been on the air now for over 15 years — I remember, I finally said to Drew, ‘Should I maybe get paid three times what you get paid?'”

“And he’s like, ‘You’re never allowed to bring this up again. Ever,'” Jonathan added, confirming it was a rift the brothers previously had.

Drew jumped in to explain that there is more to their jobs than what is shown on camera.

“Off-camera, Jonathan and I both do the construction. He’s the licensed contractor, but we’ve both done the renovations for years. And also, he was a licensed realtor broker, so we’ve done both sides of the fence,” Drew explained. “But we’ve enjoyed our product plan. We’ve had 12,500 products in the home space. We have multi-family real estate portfolios. So, there’s a lot outside of what people see on the shows.”


Drew and Jonathan Scott Credit Fans for Their Newest Show

The “Celebrity IOU” stars—who grew up on a 160-acre ranch—take city folk who “want to leave the city” out West in their newest series, “Chasing the West.”

“The West made them who they are, and they want to share their passion and real estate expertise with a growing movement of people yearning to escape city life,” HGTV’s description of the series reads.

The brothers traveled to Arizona, California and Texas, renovating homes for clients looking for a slower pace in life.

“It’s funny to take people outside the city to this ranch life,” Drew explained in an interview with Us Weekly in November. “They thought it was gonna be easy, staring at the mountains and sipping their wine, but it’s hard work.”

In addition to their many HGTV series, the brothers also own a production company, Scott Brothers Entertainment, as well as home decor collections Scott Living and Drew & Jonathan Home, and more.

Erin & Ben Napier’s Show Moving Forward After Tragic Fire https://entertainmentnow.com/hgtv/ben-erin-napier-hotel-fire-show-update/?adt_ei=[email] https://entertainmentnow.com/hgtv/ben-erin-napier-hotel-fire-show-update/#comments Thu, 11 Dec 2025 16:30:28 +0000 https://entertainmentnow.com/?p=5598243 Ben and Erin Napier

Ben and Erin Napier are hoping there's a happy ending -- and new show ahead -- after they and their friends faced a "devastating" fire.

The show must go on. When a fire ripped through the new boutique hotel that Erin and Ben Napier helped their best friends restore, the HGTV stars thought the series they’d filmed about the renovated hotel might never air.

But on December 10, 2025 — nearly four months after the devastating blaze — the couple told USA Today a version of the spinoff show will air on HGTV, after all.


Erin Napier Says Fire Was ‘Devastating’ to Their Group of Friends

When a fire broke out at The Heirloom on August 26, the 30-room boutique hotel had just begun taking reservations amid the news that HGTV was filming a new show about the property’s restoration, called “Home Town: Inn This Together.” But hours after the blaze tore through the hotel, Erin wrote on social media that she wasn’t sure “you’ll ever get to see this @hgtv show now.”

Restoring an old building in downtown Laurel and turning it into a hotel was a project the Napiers had been quietly working on, supporting their dear friends and business partners — Jim and Mallorie Rasberry (Jim is Erin’s cousin, and Mallorie is her longtime bestie) and Josh Nowell.

“This was their baby,” Napier told USA Today. “To watch them give their all − and I really mean give their all to create this masterpiece − and then to watch it burn together, was devastating.”

“The episodes are going to air,” Ben said of the spinoff, which will air sometime in 2026.


Erin Napier Said in August She Knew Her Friends Wouldn’t ‘Give Up’ After Fire

The group huddled outside the hotel, Erin shared in an Instagram post that night, writing, “We held each other and watched it burning while the brave fire fighters from the Laurel FD worked for hours to get it under control. Today feels like a funeral.”

“But I know these people,” she continued. “They won’t give up here. I don’t know what will happen next or if you’ll ever get to see this @hgtv show now. I don’t know much of anything. Pray for my friends and family, please. It is hard to explain how this reverberates through our town and its progress in many ways. But I know God has a plan for this setback. He always knows the way, even when we don’t.”

Indeed, the group has been working diligently to pick up the pieces after the devastating fire. In late September, they shared an Instagram video of the wreckage and vowed to rebuild.

Meanwhile, season 10 of the Napiers’ primary show, “Home Town,” premieres on HGTV on January 4.

Chip Gaines is feeling emotional about their new family vacation home. Chip and wife Joanna Gaines tackle the property’s renovation for their new HGTV series “Fixer Upper: Colorado Mountain House” and he’s already looking forward to all of the memories they’ll make there.


Chip Gaines Gets Teary Eyed Talking About Their Colorado Mountain House

Chip and Joanna are turning a 1960s home in the Colorado Rockies into a vacation home for the whole family.

On December 9, Joanna took to Instagram to share a clip from their series “Fixer Upper: Colorado Mountain House,” that showed their five kids (Drake, 20, Ella, 19, Duke, 17, Emmie, 15, and Crew, 7) arriving at the home.

“Pack your bags, we’re taking this show on the road,” she wrote in the caption. “Colorado, here we come!”

In the video, Joanna explained, “The kids are here with us, so we wanted to come straight to the house. They were seeing it for the first time. The kids love the river. And then the kids did some skiing.”

Chip started to get choked up as he envisioned creating more family memories at the mountain home.

“I can see this being a really special addition to our family,” he explained. “I mean, when you think about memories and time spent with your family, it feels like there’s going to be some special Gaines moments that occur on this property.”

He continued, “And for Jo and I, we hope to facilitate a situation like that. You know?”

Joanna added, “Amen. Sweet Chip.”

Her husband cleared his throat and addressed the emotional moment with a joke. “I was just … it must have been the ragweed,” Chip said.


Joanna Explains How They Landed on Colorado for Their Home

In an article from the Winter 2025 issue of Magnolia Journal, Joanna revealed why Colorado won them over.

“You’ve likely heard me say that Chip and I are homebodies,” she wrote. “It’s as true today as it’s ever been, and our kids are no different. There are very few places any of us would rather be than home. But as long as the kids have been school-aged, we’ve made spring break our annual family getaway.”

She explained that they tried different ski towns until they discovered Colorado’s Rocky Mountains, noting, “going back year after year has somehow come to define who we are and what we value.”

“Now, we’ve made this annual trek to the mountains for more than a decade, and somewhere along the way Chip and I started to wonder if Colorado was meant to be a bigger part of our family’s future,” she shared. “With the kids getting older and going off to colleges in different directions, we kind of loved the idea of having a central place where we could all gather together, a place with all the same comfort and intention and care as the farmhouse in Waco.”

They started to casually explore real estate in their favorite towns and eventually found a winner

“From the moment we pulled in, I saw even more than what we’d been looking for,” she noted.

“The right opportunity presented itself at the right time, so we took the leap,” Joanna shared.

As fans, friends, and family mourn the death of HGTV's Frank Cozzolino, one of his two daughters says there will be no funeral. Here's why...

HGTV star passes away

Thousands of HGTV fans have shared their condolences with the family and colleagues of Frank Cozzolino, who appeared for more than two decades on Mike Holmes’ popular shows, including “Holmes on Homes” and “Holmes Family Rescue,” before his death at age 56 on December 4, 2025.

Cozzolino’s family and close friends are treasuring the memories from all who knew or knew of him rather than holding a funeral, according to the electrician’s daughter, Filomena Cozzolino.

In a social media post on December 6, she explained, “For all of those who’d like to pay their respects, he did not wish to have a funeral. Rather, he wanted people to focus on the great times they shared with him.”

Filomena continued, “His life, and the lives of his loved ones, was enhanced by organ donation; we can take a moment to honour him by donating to organ transplant research, cancer research, or signing up for organ donation. This way, we may continue to bring others a second, or third, chance at life.”


HGTV’s Frank Cozzolino Underwent 2 Liver Transplants

Cozzolino, a Canadian contractor who ran his own business in Toronto, Solutions Electrical & Maintenance, also became close friends with Holmes when he began appearing on his shows, beginning with the very first episode of “Holmes on Homes.”

Cozzolino underwent a liver transplant in August 2017, which he wrote in an Instagram post felt like a “second chance at life.” His liver disease was an occasional topic on Holmes’ shows, including an episode in which his team helped to renovate Cozzolino’s home in 2022, according to Deadline.

In her December 6 post, Filomena explained that his doctors had discovered his liver disease returned in early 2025 and that he became the “grateful recipient of a second transplant in July 2025.”

She went on to say that “there were many post-operation complications, and he conquered each new battle, until he was diagnosed with lymphoma. Ever the fighter, he never gave up. He deliberated and decided that he would push through; he’d beaten the odds up to this point, he thought ‘the world isn’t getting rid of me this easily.’”

“Although he lost his battle in the late evening of December 4, 2025,” she continued, “my dad pushed the boundaries of what many of his medical team, friends, and family thought possible.”


Tributes Continue to Roll In for HGTV’s Frank Cozzolino

According to Cozzolino’s obituary, he was survived by his longtime partner Lisa, and his two daughters, Filomena and Alexandria. Holmes considered him a dear friend and said in a post on December 9 that he was “devastated” to lose him.

His kids and fellow HGTV co-stars, Mike Holmes Jr. and Sherry Holmes, also issued social media statements, expressing how much they’ll miss Cozzolino. Sherry called him

In a statement issued by HGTV on December 10, per Deadline, the network said, “We are deeply saddened to hear of Frank Cozzolino’s passing. Frank was an exceptional craftsman whose kindness, integrity and unwavering dedication touched every project and every person he encountered.”

Fans and friends have left tributes to Cozzolino across social media, including on Holmes’ posts about him. One wrote on his YouTube video about the late electrician, “Omg ….. not Frank!….. heartbreaking news. I’m so sorry, Mike. I know he turned into a friend and then more like family over the years. He’s the most honest electrician I’ve ever seen. Rip Frank.”

“Holmes Family Rescue” is expected to return on HGTV in 2026; it’s not clear if Cozzolino was able to film any episodes for the next season before his death.

As news continues to spread about Frank Cozzolino’s death at 56, HGTV broke its silence by issuing a statement about the longtime fan-favorite on December 10, 2025, nearly a week after his passing.

Cozzolino appeared for more than two decades on dear friend Mike Holmes’ many shows, beginning with the very first episode of “Holmes on Homes,” helping with home renovations as the resident electrician. HGTV called him an “exceptional craftsman” in its statement, per Deadline. Both Holmes and Cozzolino’s daughter have provided new details about what led to his “sudden” passing.


HGTV Highlights Frank Cozzolino’s ‘Kindness’ in Statement

Cozzolino, a Canadian contractor who ran his own business in Toronto, Solutions Electrical & Maintenance, had appeared on Holmes’ home renovation series since 2003, per IMDb.

In HGTV’s full statement about him, per Deadline, the network said, “We are deeply saddened to hear of Frank Cozzolino’s passing. Frank was an exceptional craftsman whose kindness, integrity and unwavering dedication touched every project and every person he encountered.”

Cozzolino underwent a liver transplant in August 2017, which he wrote in an Instagram post felt like a “second chance at life.” According to Cozzolino’s obituary, he was survived by his longtime partner Lisa and two daughters, Filomena and Alexandria.

On December 6, his daughter Filomena shared in a social media post that in early 2025, her dad’s “medical team found that his liver disease returned, and he became the grateful recipient of a second transplant in July 2025.”

Filomena went on to say that “there were many post-operation complications, and he conquered each new battle, until he was diagnosed with lymphoma. Ever the fighter, he never gave up.

“Although he lost his battle in the late evening of December 4, 2025,” she continued, “my dad pushed the boundaries of what many of his medical team, friends, and family thought possible.”


Frank Cozzolino’s Daughter Tells Him ‘Your Battle is Over’ in Poignant Post

On December 9, days after Holmes told fans he was “devastated” to lose Cozzolino, he also provided a peek into his dear friend’s physical challenges with a social media video, telling fans, “Frank has gone through hell.”

After Cozzolino’s first transplant, Holmes said, “That liver failed. He had to go in and get another liver. It was touch and go. We thought for sure that he wasn’t going to make it, and he came back. And all of a sudden, due to complications, he has passed away on December 4. With great sadness from all my family, my friends, and everyone that he’s helped, he will be sadly missed.”

“Daddy, you put up one hell of a fight,” Filomena wrote in her December 6 post. “You are the strongest person I know, and I am grateful for the years we got to spend together on Earth. Now your battle is over and you can rest. We’ll all see you again.”

Dave and Jenny Marrs Fixer to Fabulous

Jenny Marrs is sharing one major behind-the-scenes detail of “Fixer to Fabulous” that fans often wonder about. The HGTV star dished on one of the more surprising parts of the show that viewers never get to see.


Jenny Marrs Gives Inside Scoop on ‘Fixer to Fabulous’

On December 5, Marrs took to Instagram to clear up one thing fans often wonder about. Do they renovate more than just what is revealed on the show? It turns out, the answer is yes!

“Fun fact time! Did you know we film 60 hours of footage for each 43 minute episode of ‘Fixer to Fabulous?'” she wrote in the caption. “This means that there is a LOT of footage (59 hours worth 🤯) that you don’t see!”

Marrs continued, “So, we aren’t always able to reveal every space in the home on camera (extra bathrooms, bedrooms, offices, etc). But I can assure you that just because you didn’t see it on the episode, doesn’t mean it’s not there.”

She noted, “For example, the Ketners’ home has a fully renovated full bathroom for the kids, pantry and laundry room — these spaces just didn’t make the edit.”

“Just a little behind the scenes info for your Friday! (Hope that helps because I did get a lot of questions about if there is only one bathroom for seven people),” she added.


HGTV Fans Say They Want to See More

The comments section was flooded with fans saying they wish they could see more of the home renovations on “Fixer to Fabulous.”

“Oh, it would be cool to see other rooms,” one fan noted.

Another fan wrote, “I vote to extend the show to 2 hours! We want to see all the hard work y’all put in.”

When one fan noted they want to see everything, Marrs responded, “I know it! That’s why I loved the four episode renovations like The Welcome Inn and Italiano! We got to show it all!”

Marrs also answered another fan’s burning question about the show: “The furniture we see in the reveal, is that what is staged or does the family keep it?”

She responded, “They keep everything Dave makes and things like the hutch in the kitchen.”

“The sofa, for example, is offered to them at a discount if they want to purchase it,” Marrs continued. “We work with a local furniture store and I choose the pieces that work in the house now that it’s been reconfigured.”

The HGTV star added, “But they don’t have to buy anything or they can buy it and keep it exactly as it is when we finish. It’s up to them!”

Ella Gaines Makes Her ‘Fixer Upper’ Debut

Ella, 19, is set to help her parents renovate their family’s Colorado mountain house, marking her first major design project.

“In true Colorado style, we had a surprise Spring snowstorm last night. But today, I’m excited because I’m here with my daughter Ella. Chip has always told Ella, ‘Hey, before you go to college, I want you to flip a house, do a project,'” Joanna said during the Tuesday, December 9, premiere of their newest series. “She’s always mentioned that she wants to do something in design. We’ve actually looked for houses in Waco, [but] didn’t find anything. But Chip had this fun idea to let her tackle the little cottage as her first design project.”

The studio casita features wood-paneled walls, a small loft accessible via a metal ladder, a full kitchen, and one bathroom.

“The equivalent of a she shed,” Chip explained.

According to Jo, she and Ella are “very similar in our styles.”

“We both love plants, we love charming, cottagey things, we love story,” the Magnolia owner said. “So my biggest hope with letting her tackle this cottage is that it builds confidence in her.”

Joanna continued, “The idea that my daughter who is now an adult, has decided to take on what her mother does, and I get to teach her—I don’t know, it just feels like this beautiful full circle moment.”


Ella Gaines’ Design Style Revealed

Ella, a student at New York City’s Parsons School of Design, previously interned for her parents’ company.

“One of my favorite moments that was so pivotal for me as a mother, but also as a business owner, was my daughter, my oldest daughter, was in on a lot of these conversations before our break in June, that I was having with the team,” Joanna told Dennis Scully during an April appearance on his “Business of Home” podcast. “She was interning with me, so she’d be in these meetings where I was like, y’all, I need vision. Like, we need to get back to why we’re doing what we’re doing. And so she was listening, and she was interested.”

While tackling her first project—the Colorado Mountain House’s cottage—Ella was able to make all the design decisions.

“I’d love it to feel like a little cottage,” she said during the premiere episode. “I think I would love, like, greens and blues. I think it would be fun. There was one that was…yes! I think this one is such a cute [color],” she added, pointing to a “moody” tone.

Joanna—who also shares sons Drake, Duke and Crew, as well as daughter Emmie with her husband—supported her daughter’s decision.

“There is really no wrong answer. You get to do whatever you want. If you want to paint it black, I’m going to let you paint it black,” she told Ella. “You know, there’s this general rule, in smaller spaces, the lighter the color, it makes it feel bigger. I don’t know if our goal is to make it feel bigger. We want it to feel moody. I want you to feel like if your gut is dark, we go dark. “

She went on to list Ella’s “homework”: Picking finishes.

“I need to know what kind of flooring, paint color, light fixtures. And then, do you want to keep these closets?” Joanna listed, adding kitchen countertop and backsplash options, cabinet paint colors, bathroom mirrors, and more.

Fans can follow along as Ella tackles her first big project as the three-part series, “Fixer Upper: Colorado Mountain House,” airs Tuesdays on HGTV.

Chip and Joanna Gaines return to HGTV with their new series, “Fixer Upper: Colorado Mountain House.” Learn more about the home, where it’s located, and how the couple is renovating it for a very special reason.


‘Fixer Upper: Colorado Mountain House’ Is a New Adventure for Chip & Joanna Gaines

Chip and Joanna are tackling a huge project in “Fixer Upper: Colorado Mountain House,” premiering on December 9.

The three-part series will follow Chip and Joanna’s renovation journey as they transform the 1960s mountain home into the ultimate family retreat.

Located in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains, the property includes a main house with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a powder room, a wrap-around deck, and river access. There are also two guest cottages located along the main driveway.

In a December post on the Magnolia blog, Joanna shared how the Gaines family ended up buying a home so far from Waco, Texas.

“Over the last decade, Colorado has become a home away from home for our family,” Joanna wrote. “Between yearly ski trips and spring break getaways, we fell in love with the mountains, the rivers, and the abundance of fresh air — and somewhere along the way started to wonder if Colorado was meant to be a bigger part of our family’s future.”

She continued, “As Chip is known to do, he started looking at real estate — casually — until he stumbled upon this house nestled in the Rocky Mountains.”

The Magnolia empire owner shared how she and Chip instantly fell in love with the property’s potential as their family vacation home.

“From the moment we pulled into the long driveway, it immediately felt like we’d found far more than what we’d been looking for. It had good bones, the right square footage, but mostly, it felt like a home away from home — one that even our extended families could get away to.”

“While we knew that saying ‘yes’ to a major renovation project outside of Texas (our first!) would require being stretched beyond our comfort zone, we had a feeling taking on this fixer upper would be worth it in the end,” she wrote. “We can’t wait to share this project with you in the coming weeks!”

Their daughter Ella also makes her design debut on the show.

“Chip had an idea to let our daughter design the little cottage,” Joanna says in the trailer. Ella responds, “I’m accepting the challenge.”

There’s plenty of work to be done to turn it into their dream vacation home. “Fixer Upper: Colorado Mountain House” premieres December 9 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on HGTV and Magnolia Network and streams the same day on discovery+ and HBO Max.


Joanna Gaines Drew Design Inspiration From the Natural Setting

In the blog post, the Magnolia team shared some of the details of the mountain house’s renovation. “During their initial walk-through,” Chip and Joanna “realized the home would need some restructuring to maximize space and optimize flow for their family,” the blog post notes.

“So, they worked with local experts, including a skilled contractor, to help bring their vision to life and be their ‘boots on the ground’ throughout the entire renovation process,” the team explained.

Joanna’s design choices “blend with the surroundings of this charming mountain home” and include “refined yet rustic woodwork mixed with European cottage-inspired colors, textures, and patterns for an all-around cozy feel.”

She also incorporates “masculine and feminine, old and new” styles in the home.

For viewers hoping to replicate the beautiful natural colors she uses in the home, KILZ released the Mountain House Collection by Magnolia Home by Joanna Gaines Paint.

“A collection of 6 warm and inviting colors that have been curated for Chip and Joanna’s latest project, ‘Fixer Upper: Colorado Mountain House,'” KILZ shared on social media. The paint collection is available at Ace Hardware stores.
