When Joanna Gaines took on her latest project – a 1960s Texas lake house in need of some serious TLC – she turned to the great outdoors for inspiration. Surrounded by stunning lake and forest views, the lake house had to blend seamlessly into its environment – it couldn't overshadow what nature had to offer. After letting the natural world take the lead, and combining its lessons with her decades of design experience, she landed on something truly special: an updated mid-century modern oasis.
As chronicled in Fixer Upper: The Lakehouse (which wrapped last month), the Lake Waco property underwent an unbelievable upgrade. Its living room is a masterclass in mid-century modern style, and the lake house kitchen screams quiet luxury. What's more, the design process inspired a seven-shade paint collection that lets you get the final look right at home. But perhaps our favorite part of the final reveal so far can be found just off the entryway – the home library.
