It's not goodbye, it's shiplap ya' later.

The fifth and final season of Fixer Upper premieres Tuesday (9 p.m. ET/PT), more than four years after HGTV first introduced us to dream home team Chip and Joanna Gaines. The husband-wife duohas partnered for an impressive 77 redesigns in the Waco, Texas area, with Chip heading up construction (and his beloved demo day) and Joanna in charge of design.

The couple, who have four children, shattered mercury glass-hearts everywhere when they announced in September that they would push pause on their reality program.

"We have poured our blood, sweat and tears into this show. We would be foolish to think we can go and go and fire on all cylinders and never stop to pause," the Gaines wrote in a blog post of their experience.

5 Best DIYs to get the Fixer Upper Look

Hi everyone!!  My obsession love of Fixer Upper and Farmhouse styles is still going strong.  If you scour Pinterest daily, like me, you can be overwhelmed with the amount of DIYs and Fixer Upper knock offs that seem to be everywhere.  I know I am!  I find myself wanting to do every single DIY with barely any time to go to the bathroom without little footsteps behind me 🙂

For this post, I came up with a list of 5 essential elements of a “Fixer Upper” styled home.  I am, of course, no expert on this; it’s just kind of what I picked up from binge watching the show after the kids are asleep.

I made this list with the busy mama in mind.  We don’t have time to build a headboard from reclaimed wood.  { But gosh, wouldn’t you love to!! }  These are all fairly simple DIYs that can be accomplished during nap time or after those kiddos are asleep.  I’m pretty much obsessed with these bloggers, too!!
