"It was the first time Chip and Joanna flipped a home outside of the Waco, Texas, area, and the project was completed in the span of just six months. "That was the biggest challenge," says Joanna, explaining that she and Chip only commuted to the Rockies about six times over the course of the renovation. They wanted to create additional bedroom space, expand the size of the main home's kitchen, and bring in more natural light with floor-to-ceiling windows."
"Joanna describes the European-inspired design as "mountain lodge meets cottage charm." Chip and Joanna kept the home's hardwood floors, antique brick, and original fireplaces. They added hand-hewn wooden beams to the walls of the main house to complement the preexisting ones on the ceiling-and, to match color, had an artist hand-paint the overhead oak to create a sense of uniformity."
Ella designed a nearly 375-square-foot cottage using moody, earthy green tones and transformed symmetrical closets into ceiling arches above a custom banquette and bookshelves. The bathroom features burgundy and pale-blue floor tile that pushed her parents to be bolder. The Gaineses completed a full-property redesign in six months, marking their first flip outside Waco, Texas, with only about six commutes to the Rockies. The renovation expanded bedroom space, enlarged the main kitchen, and added floor-to-ceiling windows for more natural light. Joanna favored solving architectural challenges and described the aesthetic as mountain lodge meets cottage charm. Original hardwood, antique brick, and fireplaces were preserved and hand-hewn beams and hand-painted oak were added for uniformity.
