" As avid fans of HGTV&amp;#039;s\u00A0Chip and Joanna Gaines, we believe there&amp;#039;s no old house\u00A0they can&amp;#039;t transform into a beautiful country\u00A0home. In season two of Fixer Upper,\u00A0we watched the Gaines&amp;#039; decide to purchase a\u00A0vacant lot that came with\u00A0a small building, a huge grain barn, and\u00A0two giant\u00A0silos on two-and-a-half acres of land in downtown Waco, Texas. While Joanna\u00A0has operated her boutique\u00A0out of the Little Shop on\u00A0Bosque since 2003, she\u00A0felt the 1,600-square-foot building was running out of space for her expanding store.\u00A0In true fixer upper fashion,\u00A0Joanna looked at the deserted lot and saw\u00A0the ideal location for\u00A0Magnolia Homes to grow. If you&amp;#039;re anything\u00A0like us, you&amp;#039;ve been anxiously awaiting news on the opening of what is\u00A0perhaps the Gaines&amp;#039;\u00A0greatest project yet.\u00A0           Viewing the progress of the silos from the top. We are getting near the finish line on this project. Hard to believe it was a year ago this month when I started dreaming of what this space could be. Still doesn&amp;#039;t seem real- we can&amp;#039;t wait for you to come visit soon! #magnoliasilos #scaredofheights &#128247; @matsumoto818 A photo posted by Joanna Stevens Gaines (@joannagaines) on Aug 31, 2015 at 6:30pm PDT     Just last October, Joanna introduced\u00A0the Magnolia Silos on her blog:  Since the property wasn&amp;#039;t for sale I started my investigative research and found the owner. I called him and he informed me he wasn&amp;#039;t really interested in selling because he really wanted to keep the silos there and everyone interested in the land wanted to demolish them. It was his father&amp;#039;s grain mill who had passed in the 80&amp;#039;s and there was a significant memory attached to the property. I explained that my idea would involve keeping the silos there and I would honor his dad&amp;#039;s memory by keeping a lot of the grain mill just the way it is with some nice updates. Chip and Joanna planned to turn the large grain barn into their new retail market, while their employees used its upstairs for business operations. They will\u00A0also host trade days once a month with\u00A0antique vendors from near and far.\u00A0 Well\u00A011 months and a whole lot of remodeling later,\u00A0we&amp;#039;re finally getting a sneak peek inside the new Magnolia Market.\u00A0Joanna took to Instagram to share the store&amp;#039;s first display:\u00A0           One display down and about 100 to go! I had to document my first display in the new space. I &#128154; this place @magnoliamarket #magnoliasilos A photo posted by Joanna Stevens Gaines (@joannagaines) on Sep 19, 2015 at 7:06pm PDT     As fixtures are moved in to the new storefront, Joanna has been sharing sneak peaks with her fans that hint that the store will be opening within the next few weeks.\u00A0           It&amp;#039;s an exciting day today because we are finally moving fixtures in the Market area of the Silos. I could cry. Ok maybe I already have. This is a big dream come true for me. As I think back to what this place was a year ago, I can&amp;#039;t believe what it has become. There is new purpose and beauty here and I can&amp;#039;t wait to open and share it with others. God loves restoration and He loves fulfilling dreams. #dreambiggerthanbig #silosbig A photo posted by Joanna Stevens Gaines (@joannagaines) on Sep 17, 2015 at 11:28am PDT               Jo&amp;#039;s store is really coming together. We are leaving our mark on the new concrete countertops. Yes, it is an optical illusion my hands are bigger than Jo&amp;#039;s. #magnoliamarket #silos A photo posted by Chip Gaines (@chippergaines) on Sep 18, 2015 at 10:32am PDT               We are finishing up the fun tile in the @magnoliamarket Silos bathrooms! Black and white is the way to go for a timeless look. #magnoliasilos A photo posted by Joanna Stevens Gaines (@joannagaines) on Sep 21, 2015 at 4:51pm PDT     Like in any episode of &amp;quot;Fixer Upper,&amp;quot; her kids even made an appearance in the shop\u2014and helped show off some beautiful hardwood floors.           While the parents work the kids will play. #workhard #playhard #magnoliasilos A photo posted by Joanna Stevens Gaines (@joannagaines) on Sep 19, 2015 at 7:27pm PDT     While the\u00A0Grand Opening Party\u00A0for Magnolia Market at the Silos is planned for\u00A0October 30th and 31st,\u00A0Joanna&amp;#039;s sneak peaks are making us all the more excited to see the efforts of their\u00A0hard work!\u00A0Chip and Joanna\u00A0have a talent for bringing old homes back to life and we know their market won&amp;#039;t disappoint. In the future, they hope to renovate the\u00A0silos as well.           #tbt to the 1953 Waco tornado. Look at the silos in the background! #magnoliasilos #wacotx A photo posted by Joanna Stevens Gaines (@joannagaines) on Sep 17, 2015 at 10:14am PDT     Learn more about the silos\u00A0at Magnolia Homes.
