Fixer Upper Season 2 and Filming a 3rd

What did all you HGTV fans think of the second season of Fixer Upper?
It is about to finish airing.

Let me preface all this by saying that I love the show. 

I'm still a huge fan. 

I noticed some things. Did you?

During Season 1 they repurposed more original kitchens than during Season 2. They tended to rip the kitchens and bathrooms out and start over. 
I think the budgets were larger so there was more cash to fix up the house.

They also used more pre-loved furniture during Season 1.

I noticed furniture from sponsors during the second season. 

It was more fun for me to see her up-cycle stuff when staging the homes.

Remember the shelf made out of an old piece that they found in the trash during Season 1?
I love that piece.

There were a couple of houses that I wasn't wild about.

The modern house with the glass and brass shelving unit in the kitchen. It was cool but not my style. 

I get that she needs to branch out and get out of her comfort zone for the show.

She is a talented designer and can do other styles of design.
I just prefer the stuff she does in her comfort zone. 

Just as an side note: Bill's cousin Chip Mansfield was on the episode last week. He makes furniture out of old wood and other found items.

I hope that his business takes off as a result of being on the show. 

You can visit his website here.

Finally, I thought I'd mention an article from the Waco Tribune. Remember the pilot episode with the couple who redid an overgrown house?

Thad ties to Baylor, if I remember correctly. 

Do you know that they never moved into the house?

She wanted to and he didn't.

That house is going to be used for a little child care center. The woman plans to live upstairs and run a business out of the bottom. 

In another article Chip Gaines is hoping for a Season 3 in which they will renovate some empty silos. 
I think we all hope for a third season.
Today, Joanna's Instagram had a photo of them wrapping up the first day of filming for Season 3. 
:)

I'm excited. 
It will begin airing in the fall of 2015. 
I love this show.
