Interesting, and not at all surprising considering how they are riding their crest as far as the tide will take them (and why not?). I'd like to see what she's come up with for her lines and hope with this endeavor she'll expand her "look" a bit more.

It will be interesting to see how they are priced. I just looked through the collection and she has some very nice pieces, although in some instances there's a little confusion between boho, industrial, primitive, etc. . One thing I do not understand is the accessories, they are complete junk like the stuff available in their store. Why would you show nicely made (I'm assuming it is) furniture with those junk accessories? It's mystifying!

Dh really loves the houses they do. We both like how they are actually nice to each other and their "clients." Interesting to see the furniture line. Thanks for posting it!

Oh, how original; a line of furniture that can be purchased "new" but looks old. Pottery Barn has been doing that for years. Target customer base: first time home owners/renters who want a fully furnished room to look as if it was a collection of pieces assembled over a period of time.

I was also wondering what her price point will be.

I'm right there with Jen's DH. So much of what they use on their show is absolute junk that photographs well (or not). Does anyone really want island pendants with flaking paint and rust? Sorry, but I don't want that crap hanging over my food!

She should probably be in the 2015: discussion. 2015 was definitely the year of Fixer Upper and I see her influences in my local decor shops. Her use of accessories is fascinating when you think about it. Much of it is repurposed items that anyone can find but it's the time and patience in finding them--and then figuring our what to do with them. Variations of many of her accessories can be found at farm supply shops. But most of us wouldn't look at a chicken feeder and think "Hmm... I'm going to plant some herbs in this for the kitchen."

I had heard there was a furniture line coming out with her name on it. Thanks for posting the article.

It looks nice and certainly reflects her style. But not seeing anything new. Can't blame them for jumping on the bandwagon while it's still rolling. I like the show but get a little uncomfortable when they share personal family events. I guess that's what people want to see but I can't imagine holding a family birthday with a camera crew standing a few feet away.

I love the look of the houses when they do their reveal.....from afar.....close up the decor is just too rustic for me. I heard that they just stage the house for TV and once the show is over the furniture and decorating items are removed.

Though I've watched the show in the past and did enjoyed not only the loving banter back and forth between an obviously loving couple, but the all over happy feel of the show, I did not care for the fact that all the finished rooms were her (read the same) style. A style I don't particularly care for.

I need saturated color around me and though I don't mind something that shows its age, I want it to looking like it was loved and aged well, not uncared for. I will never get that look, especially when someone takes the time to redo a piece of furniture and instead of making it look better, they make it look as if it sat outside in the elements for decades. I want to scream when someone that does that and says they restored it. That's not restoring. I'm guessing they don't have a dictionary to look words up in and don't know how to do so online.

The only thing I really liked was the chair in #6.

I have to agree about her decor items. They look tacky and uninspiring. I like to watch the show once in a blue moon and very much like them as a couple.

The company manufacturing, Standard Furniture, is based in Alabama, with 80% of their workforce here in the US. They retail, looking at the North Carolina stores carrying Standard Furniture, at the less expensive furniture stores in my area.

I probably shouldn't even post in this thread because I'm pretty negative about it all. I've watched the show 5-6x. Enough to know I can't stand either of them or her decorating style. Every house looks the same. The only difference is where she puts an old ladder. Back in the 80's when my friends and I were all first married and broke, we already did everything she's doing now and we never considered ourselves creative or unique. It was just what you did until you could afford better. But we did it for about 50-cents from garage sales. The prices she charges in her shop are insane.

A bit off-topic,but did anyone see the "outtakes" show they did right after Christmas? He ate two snakeskins they found on the ground...then he spit them out, very slowly. That is just ... distasteful to the max! Turned my stomach.

I've seen the show maybe 2 times (don't get cable, sometimes watch it on the treadmill at the gym if I catch it on). I think they are cute, wish my hair would behave like that, and like the furniture.

She is a good designer for her clients and serves her clients well. If you don't like her style, then she wouldn't be the designer for you. Obviously, lots of people like their show for a variety of reasons. Some of the reasons are that it has humor and a loving feeling. (Was that a song?) It also doesn't have anger, brutality, selfishness, or fault-finding - all present on almost all the currently popular TV shows.

Ditto what Diane said above. They are real people, real lives, living a good country farm life in Texas. The people that hire them love the results and so do their thousands of viewers. I love that they never act better than anyone or snooty. A nice change over some of the other shows.

I watched it a couple of times and some things I like and some I don't. However, the last show I watched, he ate a dead cockroach at the very first house the couple was considering and I can't get past that scene. I haven't watched anymore.

I watch the show and also find it too much the same, also too casual for me. I guess I mean not worn looking. I never take someone elses love of the style away from them.

I don't watch any of those other shows either. We only have cable because DH can't give up his sports and news. I do miss shows like Christopher Lowell. I would watch more if there were more shows like his.

I'm sorry but I don't find them genuine at all. I live in a very rural area with housing values lower than Waco so I'm not speaking from any kind of "snob" angle. His antics, like described in the posts above, are disgusting and then she does the eye rolls and laughs and it all seems so phony to me. I also have a real distaste for people putting their kids on national TV to make a buck.

Too much time wasted on him and the kids and not enough time detailing the decorating, imho. Although, since all homes look the same to me, maybe they need to fill the redundancies with the kid/DH stuff just to fill the time?

If the Gaines' show is giving Waco's economy a much needed boost then kudos to Chip and "JoJo." But the show is about their product and their brand, period. The fact that they have a devoted fan base bodes well for them and their advertisers.

No matter how much I like a show, seeing it all day almost every day palls. Just lazy programming.

Well to be honest that's not their fault at all that's the TV channel and their schedule. Can't blame them for that.

It's the same with Property Brothers and Love it or list it. Over and over...

I am kind of surprised to not find her furniture line isn't HEAVY on kitchen islands. I would bet my right pinky she can't design a kitchen without one.
