The Shotgun House: Before
As you can see, the owners were playing it fast and loose with the term "house." But the only way to go is up, right?
The Shotgun House: After
The most impressive part of the transformation: Adding a whole second story. Double the space, double the fun, right?
The Shack: Before
Now this is an appropriate moniker. The Shack started as not much more than a few beams and a whole bunch of paint chips.
The Shack: After
And then, voilâ! An adorable farmhouse. The Gaines' left the footprint of the space the same, but added a vaulted ceiling.
The Ultra-Modern House: Before
Before Chip and Jo got their hands on this house, it was anything but modern.
The Ultra-Modern House: After
And after, it was less Grandma's place and more contemporary art museum.
The Floating Fixer Upper: Before
Taking on a houseboat is a major challenge, but the Gaines' are nothing if not enterprising.
The Floating Fixer Upper: After
Welcome to the Donna June! Which boasts what we can only imagine is the nation's first floating shiplap. And fun fact: That dark siding isn't painted, but rather (purposefully) burned wood.
The Barndominium: Before
Can a barn be a comfortable living space for anyone but horses and cows? The answer is yes, if you put Chip and Jo on the job.
The Barndominium: After
And, of course, if you turn it into a barndominium. The house skews European, with the kitchen on the second floor, but we think that's more fun anyway.
