Diehard Fixer Upper fans like me know that the breathtaking renovations Chip and Joanna Gaines create on the show are thanks in part to carpenter Clint Harp. He's the woodworking genius who brings Joanna's custom designs to life, and he also owns home store Harp Design Co. with his wife, Kelly. If you're heading to Waco, TX, to visit the Silos and shop your heart out at Magnolia Market, you'll want to tack on a trip to this adorable store less than two miles away. I recently had a chance to visit Harp Design Co., and with all its charming wares, I did not leave empty handed. Check out the 11 things I noticed at Clint's store ahead.

Design Inspiration Abounds

Prepare to find not only great decor pieces but also design inspiration. The displays, like this beautiful Spring tabletop, will give you numerous decorating ideas for your own home.

You Can Buy Cool Fan Gear

Want to wear your love of Clint Harp and let people know you've visited his store? You can purchase a cute fan tee. They even come in kids' sizes!

It's a Stop on the Waco Tour

Waco Tours, a favorite guided driving tour through the city aimed at Fixer Upper fans, makes a much-anticipated stop at Harp Design Co. You can see the fans piling out onto the sidewalk and into the store, snapping pictures as they go.

It's Cozy and Charming

The whitewashed space oozes with farmhouse style. It's not small, but it's also just big enough to accommodate several big display areas and carloads of fans that come in.

There Are Many Decorative Block Letters

Love working your monogram into your decor? You'll find a lot of stylish letter options at Harp Design Co. — and I mean A LOT. Think wood and metal materials letters in different fonts and sizes.

It's in a Mostly Residential Area

The store is not in a hub of commerce but rather tucked into a Waco neighborhood among mostly residential homes. In fact, the home right next door will look familiar because it's the house Chip and Joanna renovated for the Harp family on Fixer Upper. The Harps have since moved out and turned it into a vacation rental at a rate of about $550 per night.

There Are Subtle Nods to Clint, Kelly, and Family Throughout the Store

Look carefully and you'll spot sweet references to the Harpers throughout the store, like the names on the place cards in the tablescape.

You Can Buy Authentic Harp Wooden Decor

Calling all Clint Harp fans: you can load up on beautiful pieces from the master carpenter right here in his store.

You Can Shop Decor From All Over the World

Beyond the great options directly from Clint's workshop, you can shop a selection of beautiful artisan decor from Waco all the way to Morocco.

Farmhouse Style Is Everywhere

You don't have to live on an actual farm to appreciate this on-trend look that Harp Design Co. specializes in. Think: napkin rings from vintage silverware, wooden chargers, and country striped linens.

There Are All Types of Home Items

Clint's expertise may be as a carpenter, but you can find goods for every element of your home, from charming cloth napkins to wall art to beautiful tabletop settings.
