Fixer UpperGood ole’ Chip and Joanna Gaines. You know we had to add this one because her designs are always gorgeous, their family is adorable, and Chip has world-class dad jokes. Even if you’ve seen every episode, it’s one of those you can watch over and over. They turn dusty, old, forgotten houses into sanctuaries for families. We’re also always amazed at those low, Waco, Texas home prices. 10/10 must binge. Watch Fixer Upper on Hulu here. |
