The mid-century Mod home from season two was a fan favorite for its departure from Joanna's normal style. It was sold to Josh and Jill Barrett.

Here's what Chip and Joanna Gaines transformed it into.

Since this season two episode, the home has remained largely untouched — and is even available to rent on VRBO and Airbnb.

There are a few key differences, however. The Barretts painted their accent wall a matte black and switched up the artwork above their bed.

But mainly, said Jill, "We kept as much furniture as we possibly could."

The Bells also put the home up for sale in 2017, but have since taken it down. It caused quite a stir in Waco, Texas, since their asking price was close to $1 million.

Real "Fixer Upper" fans know that furniture and other decorations are not included with the new house — the families are encouraged to buy everything from Magnolia.

Two of the most famous homes from "Fixer Upper" are now owned by the same woman, Kristi Bass. First up, "The Little House on the Prairie" from season two.

At some point since their season two journey, the Batsons let go of their home. Kristi Bass took it over and listed it on Airbnb.

As you can see, Bass has left much of the original feel.

The other big reveal of the episode was the bathroom.

There are a few minor changes, like the soap holder in between the two sinks.

The master bedroom was a bit overwhelming at first.

An interesting component of the barn is that the kitchen is located on the second floor.

Charmaine Hooper and Chuck Codd appeared on the second ever episode of "Fixer Upper." They bought what has since been called the "Catastrophe House."

Since the season, Hooper and Codd changed the color of the house.

One of the selling points of the house was the attic that Joanna converted into a playroom for Codd and Hooper's daughter.
