With the news that HGTV's Fixer Upper is coming to an end after 5 seasons, and we're all wiping tears from our eyes with a piece of shiplap. In honor of the Gaines' empire, let us look back at some of their most glorious makeovers - so many tile splashes! - and dream about a better day.

2. It's everyone's favorite episode, the barndomenium! I don't think there's any exterior transformation that's as impressive as the barndomenium. I think this episode made everyone in America want a barndomenium, and I don't think we should fight it.

4. Although homeowners Norris and Denitia Blount disagreed on pretty much everything, they knew this kitchen was a straight-up disaster and needed renovation ASAP. Chip and Joanna did not disappoint.

8. Karla, a single divorce with a son, bought this fixer upper mainly because it was right next door to her best friend, not because it was cute. Per usual, Chip and Joanna worked their ~magic~, especially on the kitchen, which is where they really shine.

10. And who can forget the aptly named BEAST. On this season 1 episode, Joanna and Chip go to town on a trashed home and turn it into a treasure with *maj* curb appeal.
