“Step Inside Chip and Joanna Gaines’ Stunning Waco Farmhouse: A Hidden Oasis of Design Secrets Awaits!”

The Girls’ Room Gets A Chandelier, Too

With the addition of the master bedroom, the farmhouse now had three bedrooms in total. That meant the two girls would share a room, and the two boys would have another. The Gaines’ daughters’ bedroom features a neutral gray toned wall with thin shiplap flooring.

The overall design is simple, with a shade of white carried throughout. A picturesque doll house and antique white chandelier are a reminder of the house’s history, while also being something fun for the girls.

Take a look at the boys’ room, next.

The Boys’ Room Is About Adventure

At the time of the design of the boys’ room, Chip and Joanna didn’t know for sure they would be having another boy- they weren’t even expecting! But as fate would have it, the boys’ room is perfectly outfitted with bunk beds to fit them all, once their youngest is old enough for his own bed.

This room also features shiplap, but unlike the girls’ room, has modern metal accents. The touch of history can be found in the reclaimed metal letters mounted to the wall above the beds, spelling ‘adventure.’

Fun Elements for the Kids

One of Joanna’s favorite things to do in kids’ room designs is to add unexpected elements for a fun surprise. In her sons’ rooms, Joanna included cute awnings over the two windows and mounted a ladder on the wall for fun.

A map on the wall ties into the theme of adventure. You’ll see their flooring is similar to the wood taken from the attic in the home, and shiplap on the walls in a gray tone ties the boys’ room into the rest of the farmhouse.

The Farmhouse Is About Family

The Gaines could have afforded a bigger house, but their vision was a cozy home on a farm where the family could grow up close together. Walking up the staircase to the kids’ room, you can see photos of their family members.

Joanna selected all black-and-white images for this wall, framed in a moody black that ties into the metal handrails on the staircase. The black is softened by the white shiplap walls and stairs.

See what they did with the unfinished attic, next.

Joanna’s Creativity Went Into the Attic

What to do with an unfinished attic? When Joanna took to finding a vision for this previously unoccupied space, she decided to fill it with something fun. In one of the corners, tucked alongside the brick chimney is a coffee bar. Of course, the coffeemakers are the only modern element to this cute corner.

Joanna found a retro high-top dining table, and Chip mostly likely was the one to mount the reclaimed counter to the wall. You can see how she maximized the small space and made it into something fun.

The Craft Room

Also in the attic is a space for craft making. A designer herself, Joanna created a place where the kids can sit together and get creative. This room has a balance of white shiplap A-frame walls and warm wooden floors and table.

Because the attic’s ceiling is an A-frame, the use of space is limited. But Joanna found that a four-top table centered in the middle would fit just right. Painting the walls white allowed for the space to feel well-lit, even though it only has a small window.

The adults get a creative space, too!

Chip and Joanna’s Home Office

Although their businesses keeps them plenty busy, Chip and Joanna have always made it a priority to spend as much time with their kids as possible. Although they have a separate office for their businesses, the Gaines’ saved a place in the farmhouse to take care of things from home, too.

The design is clean and simple, which probably helps with staying focused. Whether they’re holding a meeting or taking a phone call, this room has everything the couple needs in a home office.

Farm Life Is Outside

When they purchased the Texas farm in 2012, Chip and Joanna didn’t buy it for the house, they bought it for the land. “Living on a farm has always been a dream of ours,” Joanna wrote, “And we were excited when it finally became a reality.”

One of the attractive parts about farm life for the Gaines was spending more time outdoors. In order to seat the entire family for a meal, Joanna made sure they have a long table with bench seats outside.
