The "Shotgun House"

Who remembers the "Shotgun House?" As Joanna recalled in a Magnolia blog post, this renovation didn't come easy. In fact, she and Chip had to move the house (which was formerly abandoned) to another location while working on it as the land was sold to a developer.

Luckily, the house has since stayed put—which is very convenient for guests as it is just a block away from Magnolia Market! Inside, Chip and Joanna brightened the interiors and opened up the space to make the 720-square-foot property feel much more expansive. The single-bedroom house can accommodate up to two guests and costs roughly in the mid $200 range per night.
