What’s not to love about Chip and Joanna Gaines? Not only are they are they an adorable couple with big hearts, they are masters of the Modern Farmhouse style. Like us, you may tune into their popular HGTV show, Fixer Upper, and watch them transform the most lack-luster homes into spectacular works of craftsmanship. They are a key reason why the Modern Farmhouse style has recently taken off and become a popular theme on Pinterest boards and Instagram accounts.

It serves as a place to prepare for daily challenges as well as a refuge after a long day. Whether it’s a large master bath or a half-bath for guests, there’s endless design possibilities.

2017 has brought bold, interesting developments to the industry. Some of the trends we are seeing within bathrooms parallel design trends seen within kitchens.
