What’s so maddening about the Gaineses entire aesthetic is the combination of painstaking restoration and bewilderingly trendy faux farmhouse touches.

Every house is totally decorated for herself, not the family.

Waco resident here. Many of us have mixed feelings about the Gaineses. Their rapid development of the Silo project is seen as a major factor in the almost doubling of property taxes downtown, and many of the small businesses are worried about being unable to afford to stay in the area. People are also angry about…

I love their TV chemistry but I hate hate hate hate hate her interior design style. It’s middle-aged rich lady high and without her glasses (hence the giant clocks) at Pottery Barn/Pier One shit. Every. Single. Time. I get that, as an interior designer, you want a kind of signature style, but for the love of god can…

Besides the shiplap and giant clocks, I can’t stand all the giant letters and words randomly placed on walls. It’s like a 1st grade classroom.

Another feature Joanna loves to use that drives me fucking nuts: ENORMOUS LETTERS or signs on walls declaring the purpose of a room.

“If Joanna had a baby with French doors, it would be shiplap.”

I also find myself watching Fixer Upper and I like some stuff Joanna does, and surprisingly the shiplap doesn’t really bother me.

This is my favorite show on HGTV, aside from HH International. They’re the only hosts on HGTV who don’t irritate the crap out of me (Flip or Flop just can’t shake the douche-y vibe, and I don’t understand why the woman is always shouting at the camera when they cut away to their documentary-style interviews?). Joanna…

This is appointment tv for me and my husband. We call it “rustic as fuck”. the style is getting a bit old but they do seem like generally nice people and not fake like the property bros. I personally like the big clocks but then again I’m basically blind and always running late.

What kills me about this show is that they have to put some kind of phrase or words on the wall. Like in the kitchen it’ll say “Tasty treats”, or “Bless this home” or any number of inane phrases. H8 that

Here’s why the show got on my nerves: sliding barn doors. I swear in every damn episode, they put sliding barn doors somewhere.

I watched this show with my in-laws while visiting last Christmas and we had two complaints - “Why are all the kitchens so white??” was theirs. “Why do they keep DISTRESSING everything??” was mine. Their style is SO far from mine that it’s hard to like the show - and I already live in Texas. I don’t need more fake…

My favorite thing about the Gaines’s distinctive style is how defensive people get about it on the internet! They’re like “Country chic is VERY IN WHERE WE ARE FROM. If you don’t love it, LEAVE IT!” I’m just saying that it literally looks all the same...

I like watching the show, but it does get old.

I think I fell in love with you just a bit. Thanks for posting it.

GET OFF THE STAGE SODBURGER

i hated her for this quote, then i remembered her favorite book is a “true story” about a woman who goes to heaven then comes back. her IQ is maxing out at like 98. not gonna have many profound thoughts on feminism when you’re at that level, lol.

There is nothing redeeming about either of these self-absorbed twats.

You know Prince would not approve.

Kim is way more ridiculous than Kanye. “Only One” was terrible.
