As Fixer Upper stars Chip and Joanna Gaines make their greatly anticipated return to TV with their own Magnolia Network, they speak exclusively to PEOPLE in a new special edition, Chip and Joanna: Building Their Future. Inside an issue devoted entirely to the creative world of the Waco, Texas–based design duo, they share an inside look at their new series, Fixer Upper: Welcome Home; Joanna's new cooking show, Magnolia Table; their most memorable renovation stories; and much more. In a new interview, the couple open up about what brought them back to TV, raising five children during a tough year, and their latest creative projects at the Silos in Waco and beyond.
