As an interior designer that went to school in Waco and has lived in TX the past 12 years....Magnolia is NOT the most welcome addition to the community, lol. They've really taken over the city and pushed a lot of smaller businesses and existing community out; their renovations of the surrounding area have made it really difficult for people to keep their homes between the rising property value, taxes, and tourism. It's insane to see how much it has changed in even the past 5 years. Also just hate how pretty much everything they sell at this point is just heavily marked up wholesale products.
That's sad, I would've thought Chip and Joanna would care more about their town.
I get all your valid points about the effects on the community but just to say the definition of a retail business is to sell heavily marked up wholesale goods
@@sparklepea totally understand, just sad to see when they could easily do consignment and collaboration working with local crafters (there are SO many in the area) and thus building up and supporting their local community. They have a huge platform, and it's sad to see them choose additional profits over doing something good with that power, ya know?
Everything looks the same ….. 😶
Can you share some local smaller businesses for reference? I tried to make a travel plan to visit Magnolia market but after looking at pricing I changed my mind. I pass through maybe 6 times a year and would love some local shopping options.
I thought the "Elliot to the front desk please" was real for a second and I was floored 😂
YES to the how-to-run-a-business content!!! Love to see it. There aren't enough female business owners out there.
It is such a cool thing to live someplace for more than just a week or two and not just consider yourself a tourist. Having a finite time in a place does make you get out and about more and not take things for granted but you also get more of a mundane sense of the place.
Austinite, Sorry Girl fangirl and first-time commenter! I loved seeing you hit up some my favorite local haunts. We call the dog side of Barton Springs Barking Springs. Thank you for the Texas edition! So nice to see y'all here. 😍
As a native Texan, all the times you noted the heat are why that backyard looks like that 😂 Still needs some sprucing but man without a pool a backyard gets little use here.
It’s similar to central California. I don’t go back there in the summer past noon- 100+, mosquitoes eating me alive immediately, too intense. At least we don’t have humidity. I’m sorry if you do.
Modern sow-thern comfort 😂
That skirt you bought (black with the gray/silver flowers) was one I owned and wore to several weddings. I loved that skirt so much.
Oh girl! You made it to HEB right away. It’s the bomb! One of the things I miss the most having moved to Florida.
LOVE HEB. I have dreams about the almond butter
All the Texans clocked the H‑E‑B oats immediately 😂
I love the HEB.
Every time I leave Texas I miss it.
Chip and Joanna have given me a fresh perspective on Waco, prior to the Gaines all I saw was David Koresh and the Branch Dravidian’s. A tragic little town.
Welcome to my city! Can’t wait to see what you do! 😃
loving this content!
On your way back you should definitely check out San Antonio. The Riverwalk is lovely, and you could also go see the Alamo.
Thanks for sharing 💯💛💛
I love seeing you exploring my city!
I never saw this coming 😭😭😭😭 I hope I run into y’all in town one day…. Love your content, love this journey, can’t WAIT to watch it all
I live in San Antonio and love how close Austin is! Glad you enjoyed Texas 🤠
I grew up in Waco long before Magnolia! How surreal to see you there and with HEB products--mind blown! Living the true Texas life.
Thanks for inviting us on that special moments it's good to see you have your own time with Elliott 😊 more time like that I enjoyed seeing that side of you ... looks like you both enjoyed your time
I'm so glad you got to experience the glory of HEB. Would love to have seen your reaction to that
I did a road trip through New Mexico with my niece (we live in LA, CA). When I tell you how good the Southwest is for thrifting!!! We filled our rental up and had to buy a spare luggage when we flew back cause all the cool stuff we got 😅
i think the ceramic bulb things are garden decoration and you just put them on a stick between flowers 😅 my mum have some in their garden
love the description of your day! Great business structure and production plan ;)
Very excited to see all the Austin adventures!
We need a meet and greet next time you are here 😢🫶🏼
I think those ball things at the antique store were bed knobs!
I think it‘s for garden decoration. Just put it on a stick or something similiar
Never sick of thrifting!😊
I appreciate the fahrenheit to celcius conversion so so much😭
That looks like the airbnb that Michel Janse stayed at for awhile when it first opened!
Mattie's is AMAZEEE!!! A few years ago we concluded my friend's bachelorette there and it was the loveliest meal~
It would be cool to see your take on how to spend a week in Toronto on this channel.
And...there is no snow or real cold. Former Maine, USA gal now in Florida. Have a blessed day 💖✝
I might be an austinite when I immediately knew you went to top drawer and they moved.
We have been in our home 4+ years, and I still flip every light switch trying to figure out which one I want. 😂 I keep saying I should label them. Maybe I will do that today. Lol
super cool to see you in texas, as a native it’s super wild to see the worlds collide! hope you had a nice experience. hope you check out dallas next time!
I've always wanted to go to Barton Springs
You should have checked out Homestead Heritage. The crafts they do are amazing and the food all sourced off their land.
How did you choose Austin? And if you decide to do it again - I recommend New Orleans! I think you would like the style and the chances to chase joy here
My son and daughter-n-law lives in Waco…..they don’t like Magnolia being in town….lots of nieces and nephews live in Austin. They all want to move out! Ha
Well, welcome to my state. I live about 300 miles south of you almost to the tip. I’m glad you’ve come over to check out our area. When you showed those cowboy boots I was thinking you really need to buy some. Where else are you going to get authentic Texas cowboy boots? And certainly nobody in Toronto will have any.
The round things look like what my Grandma Used To have on the tops of Her bedpost and back in the day.
As a Texas native I’m just happy you got to experience HEB 😂
BTW, if you liked that natural pool. There's one in Niagara Falls, ON. It's called Dufferin Island Park. :)
My brother lives in Waco. I love Jo and Chip. and I love the sorry girls. Have fun.
I live in Texas and love it. If you created an experience place a la Magnolia in Toronto, I would probably have to come to Canada. (I fan girl me some Sorry Girls.)
I live in Waco and I did fan girl a little, wish they went somewhere else instead of just Magnolia lol
Welcome to Texas Kelsey.. I spy HEB products, so you are already becoming a Texan now. We love HEB around here ;)
Austin is one of my favorite cities in the world!
Yeah we need to rescue it from TX, Carmen SanDiego Style
Wow that drive in/small screen set up during the day is definitely not the ideal way to watch that movie!!
It seems really smart to be thrifting all the winter things from a hot place like Texas
Too bad you didn’t see the bats under Congress Avenue bridge, it’s a sight to see when they come out at sunset!
Howdy from my neck of the woods!
We need a meet and greet next time you are here 😢🫶🏼
That on beat bell ring at 16:23 - thank you editor 😁🎵
I was actually thinking you would start plotting a makeover at @3:30 😂
Sir/Ma’am, there’s no “bad part” of a biscuit. It’s all the “good part”.
Sorry but.... Magnolia is NOT the first thing I think of when I think of Waco, TX. And that lead to a very confusing moment where I was concerned at how excited you were to go visit the site of the Waco Siege lmao...
Would really love to know where your necklace in the video is from!
Woohoooo! 🙌🙌
Those are bed knobs!!
a month goes way too fast!! Looked like an awesome time.
My son was at the F1 setting up the video and sound
Is there going to be a meet & greet???
Have been a fan since 2019!!
those ball looking thing in your video at 16 minutes in are bed knobs im pretty sure
So austin is Brooklyn in the south? Is there like a kit? Like those old Sears house kits - we give you the directions and the materials and you make your city into Brooklyn? Nonetheless I loove the idea of going to a new place and really living there and doing all the things. I may sound like a hater but I def want to visit Austin one day! 😂
Aah! I wish I had been at Magnolia that day! I have lived in Waco for 3 years. I think Magnolia is good for the city. I thought it would be an attractive place to live because of Fixer Upper. When my husband got a job at Baylor, I was super excited to move to Waco! With the caveat that I’m not a Waco native, I think the Gaines businesses are good for Waco. They draw tourism dollars and population which brings economic growth. And from a selfish perspective, that draws more career opportunity for me. (I’m an engineer)
Bless you😄. Southern is pronounced suthern not south ern.
I put protein powder in my oatmeal :)
Oooh! I knew as you were driving up that it had to be Mattie’s! I’ve never been to Austin, but I recognized it from a podcast I listen to, called The Night Owl- all about haunted places in and around Austin. Definitely listen to the Mattie’s episode!
As someone raised in the neighborhood, I still registered it as Green Pastures, haha. We used to brake for those peacocks on the way to school (they were allowed to roam free)... very annoying if you're running late!
I live in Waco
Not sure how I didn't run into you. You were all up in my eastside neighborhood.
I don’t understand, why move to Austin for a month? No hate, just kind of confused
I know Waco from way different reason than what you imply xD
Not bad
I would love to see you all come back to Texas and do a collab with DIY Wife if you were all up for it ❤
That channel freaks me TF out. IDK if it got better, but the first like 3 months, had this whole " I'm making my wife do this for income, I am a creepy traditional man" vibes. Maybe it's that awful name, reducing this FULL HUMAN WOMAN to being someone's wife? But honestly, she NEVER spoke! He did most of the narration, and...idk. Just feels WAY off, something about those people.
@@UntetheredBansheeDIY wife actually has talent and builds/creates from scratch…she doesn’t just thrift and restyle.
@@UntetheredBansheeI think you need to go back and rewatch their channel. There is a thing as camera shy as it can be weird interacting with a camera when first starting a channel. She has really blossomed and their channel is really good.
Good to hear, bc her work is absolutely stunning, and I dont even mind him helping or talking. He just did ALL the talking, and some of the way he phrased things in their first video, and did the intro and all, just felt off.
@@sexygrt1
I think those little pots were for ink?
Well... Magnolia is the NOT the first thing I thought when you said Waco. I immediately thought cult and mass murder but.. Magnolia works to.
As a swiftie ive never clicked faster on a video lmao
seriously tho which one of you plays the violin/fiddle?
The IMPORTANT thing though….thoughts on H‑E‑B?
The sorry in sorry girls was really emphasised in this vlog hahaha
No Sorry Girl viewer is ever tired of thrifting!!! Austin is beautiful…Shelbizzzle and her wife, Madison, moved there and it looks amazing!!
Aside from the racism, homophobia, anti-trans, anti-women, anti-choice, anti-voter laws...yeah. GO TX.
@@UntetheredBansheeplease don’t misunderstand, I wouldn’t say Texas is great…or other traditionally “red” states…just the city of Austin looks beautiful.
Yes, I’m sad they’ve never mentioned the dog part of Barton Springs. Lol It’s always looked nice before, but the dogs make it a million times cooler now. I must go there now. 🐶 🐕
It totally is, a real shame its in TX lol. If I could steal it Carmen Sandiego style, I would. Put it somewhere better lol @@lisapoulsen5452
Loved your content. And yes please! I can always see thrifting!
Austin looks amazing. It’s probably the only place I think I would like to see in Texas.
I’m just not a big lover of Texas and their opinion of women.
Can confirm as a queer AFAB enby, went all over, only SOUTH Austin specifically was cool. Every other part of TX is just a cesspool of hate. There are good people, but the laws there are trash and the folks voting for them are...loud and present.
What is a AFAB enby?
San Antonio is also less offensive, I’ve heard.
@@theresastoltenberg5412 It's another term for a self-centered narcissist.
You know the Sorry Girls would think this is a disgustong comment, right? @@phantagirlable
H‑E‑B!!! ❤
People that grew up in Waco can not afford to live in Waco anymore 🙃 speaking as a person that grew up in Waco.
The Magnolia people also tried to sell a Waco landmark and pissed the whole city off.
I spent a lot of time teaching my husband the difference between a sweater and a sweatshirt and now I’m wondering if I was wrong??
I don't think you were wrong I just think like me, Kelsey just uses the words interchangeably cos most will still know what you mean even if you technically use the wrong word
“We have The Eras Tour at home” 💀💀😭😭
I had to google "what is F1?" lol.
Must admit that interior design wasn’t on my mind when I heard Waco Texas. And after the new abortion law, Texas isn’t feeling that great. Although I’ve heard lots of good things about it. 👍
Why Austin? You should try other cities too
omg is Eliott an Aries or Capricorn? 😂
The female peacocks are all white. They are called peahens. I have seen an albino male before though.
Peahens are naturally brown. All-white ones are often the male peacocks. They're leucistic, rather than albino.
I have always wondered what your boyfriend does for a living. I guess he’s kinda shy since he doesn’t seem to come on very much. I just wondered if he was able to work in Austin as well.
Kinda curious to hear why Kelsey doesn’t want to support F1 🤔
I'm trying to figure that out too. The only thing I could think was maybe air pollution?
🤍
I’ve genuinely never understood the Joanna and Chip Gaines hype
Not sure I would ever want to live in Texas :( Never mind the restaurants.......how about their politics? Banned abortion after 6 weeks........most women don't even know they're pregnant at that point. Any state that is working to take away women's rights is not a good place. They passed a voter repression bill. They signed into law where you can carry without a permit. Who does that??!! Texas is the most uninsured state in the nation, but they refuse to expand Medicaid. They don't permit trans kids to participate in sports. Discriminating against kids, isn't that special? Then you've got 100+ days, flooding, issues with the border................. just saying.
💯 Currently I can't imagine being a woman of reproductive age and even considering moving to Texas! Love you guys, hope you reconsider!
FYI: Tr a ns kids are not banned from playing sports; males just can't play on the female teams. Which, if you're a feminist, it makes sense that you would be in support of only females being allowed to play against females. 🤷
Males can still play on male teams; they just can't join and dominate on the female teams.
WORD, everyone I know there is FLEEING.
Me watching this video from Austin, as I'm currently planning my evacuation from the state next month 😬
I live in San Antonio (and have lived in TX almost my whole life) and am active in progressive spaces/have done some organizing here. I think there is also a lot of camaraderie around people who want to make positive impact and help foster more progressive change. I also feel like the urban centers of cities like SA and ATX feel vastly different than suburban and small towns in the rest of Texas.
I guess what I'm getting at is given that I've built up a group of like-minded, and engaged people makes me feel like I can both appreciate the good parts of the state (and stay in the same state as family and my hometown of El Paso) and also do what I can to stay engaged and active in my community.
Why are they in a spring water pool? Not supposed to swim in it you're supposed to drink it😢😢😢
Great highlights! If only the state of Texas actually respected women's rights it would be an even nicer place to be. 😢
white peacocks are the females, I'm not sure how you'd tell if it was a female or an albino
ok, so, is this just a me problem?! I have not been able to have a consistent decibel level for any of their videos on either channel for like a few months, the music is ungodly loud compared to voice + such so like it's been hard to watch. I typically consume YT through my TV or PC and I've literally had to use my earbuds on "vocal boosting transparency mode" [which tends to smooth but still pass through anything deemed "background noise'] so that everything evens out and doesn't make my brain itch or deafen me ...... just wanted to point it out just in case I'm not totally crazy cause I have yet to see anyone complain in comments buuuut I have a tendency to gaslight myself and think most if not all things just must be a me problem so I never know what's real or not LuL .... okie anyhoos byyyyye
Austin is a cool city but the State of Texas sucks. Make sure you can stand to live there. Health Care sucks, the ban books, Health care sucks for women, and the energy grid is the worse in the country.
