Joanna Gaines Facts

1. Her earliest childhood ambition was to get cast in TV commercials. From the age of 6 to 8, she would often read from the back of a cereal box or a shampoo bottle and pretend to be a model promoting the product.
2. Joanna’s first job was to get a course of food at an all-you-can-eat buffet restaurant.
3. When she entered high school, she was considered the most practical of all siblings and often helped her father at his job. She was seriously planning to take over the Feuerstein franchise until she developed an interest in broadcast journalism.
4. Joanna has no formal training in interior design and has learned all about it through practice and research.
5. She expressed her lifelong desire to work with her father by persuading him to take over the Magnolia Market retail store after he sold his Flintstones franchise.
6. After her retail store closed in 2005, Joanna continued to assist Chip with renovation projects. Alongside this, she began writing about design on her blog and became a contributing writer for Wacoan Magazine . This led to an invitation to write Kid-Friendly Home Design for DesignMom.com in 2011. Her contribution also caught the attention of High Noon Productions, who contacted Chip and Jo for a pilot episode featuring their construction business. It soon grew into a very successful Fixer Top series.
7. Chip and Jo’s first construction project after marriage was to renovate their own home immediately after their honeymoon.
8. Whenever her husband leaves home, Joanna leaves a note for him in his travel bag.
9. Joanna often describes herself as shy, reserved, and a worrying person who appreciates her husband’s willingness to take risks in pursuit of their dreams. Chip starts a business while Joanna takes care of the details to finally get the project to the finish line.
10. One of Joanna’s biggest design disasters was when a 100-year-old house with a yellow school bus was painted because Joanna passed the paint without testing the shade.
11. Aside from being a co-author of The Magnolia Story (2016), Joanna has also launched a cookbook of her favorite recipes, Magnolia Table (2018), and a design book titled Homebody (2018).
12. Despite an insanely busy schedule, Joannah has nurtured her passion for cooking and baking because food has a lasting emotional impact and keeps her intimacy with her family. She aspires to star in her own TV cooking show.
