The couple plans to maintain the 100-year-old Elite Cafe's community atmosphere under a new name: Magnolia Table. “We want the name of our restaurant to convey the idea that all are welcome here," Joanna wrote.

Now, the Fixer Upper stars are selling their iconic bed and breakfast located just outside of Waco, Texas—and it's listed for under $1 million. Situated in the historic town of McGregor, the property includes two homes that currently operate as vacation rentals: Magnolia House and Carriage House.
