Before HGTV's Fixer Upper introduced us to the interior design wizardry of Joanna Gaines, I'm really not sure where we got our home decor inspiration from. I mean sure, we could still get lost for hours in a Pinterest click hole looking at paint swatches and bathroom renos. But there's just something about that fresh, modern farmhouse aesthetic that Fixer Upper introduced us to that ignited our collective love for all things country. 

Suddenly, we started imagining what a sliding barn door might look like in our kitchen. We started daydreaming about adding a little shiplap to our living room walls. And we could suddenly see the spa-like appeal of having a standing shower with white subway tiles in our master bath. Sigh. Yes, even if we couldn't pick up and move to Waco, Texas, and flip a four-bedroom on a minuscule budget, Joanna Gaines has inspired us all to look for ways to make our own homes a little bit country. And the proof is on Instagram.

Scroll through hashtags like #modernfarmhouse or #farmhousechic, and you'll find thousands of Joanna Gaines-inspired rooms in homes across America. They've got crisp, white walls covered in shiplap. Country kitchens with tables made of reclaimed wood. Living rooms with plush, shabby chic sofas and black industrial-style chandeliers overhead. There are cozy, brick-framed fireplaces with signs like "gather" and "family" sitting over the mantel. Spacious kitchen islands that are perfect for both cooking and entertaining. Big, inviting porches with cushioned rocking chairs that are just begging to be sat in. This list goes on ... and on. Which is why we've rounded up some of our favorite rooms that capture that modern farmhouse style Joanna Gaines so lovingly showed us all. (But fair warning: Scrolling on to the end might cause a sudden and uncontrollable urge to hop in the car and head to Target, to buy up everything in sight.)

Laundry Room Goals

A person is fully an adult when they're seriously jealous of someone else's laundry room ... (Just not all the laundry that's inside it.)

2/41

Prime Seating

Do the adorable pups come with this chic country living room? If so, I'm sold.

3/41

Home & Hearth

A wood-burning stove adds the perfect touch of cozy to any room in the house. Add in the modern farmhouse vibes, and guests will never want to leave.

4/41

Winter Wonderland

Watching snow fall from the front porch of this cute little farmhouse is my kind of perfect. Who wouldn't want to curl up in one of those rocking chairs, wrapped in a warm blanket and sipping a mug of hot cocoa?

5/41

Spring Kitchen

This colorful corner of the house can't help but inspire yummy meals. (Plus, is that farm sink to die for, or what?)

6/41

Front Porch Escape

What a great place to welcome guests into a home. (Not to mention a great spot to kick back and relax on the weekend.)

7/41

Everyday Eclectic

I don't know about everyone else, but I could sure use those copper bar stools at my kitchen island. Mixed with the green cabinetry, they give the room a warm, modern-rustic feel.

8/41

Sink Goals

If only every farm sink came with a pair of adorable baby goats! (I would have a million in my home.)

9/41

The Gathering Place

Those exposed wooden beams. That brick statement fireplace. Everything about this room just screams warm and inviting.

10/41

Feels Like Home

Having a white (or nearly white) couch with kids at home is a risky move. But come on -- how great does that look? (Just don't eat or drink anything within 10 feet of the couch.)

11/41

Through the Looking Glass

This all-white bathroom had me the second I laid eyes on that gorgeous antique mirror. (OK, and that pedestal sink is pretty great, too.)

12/41

Let's Do Brunch

This crisp, white breakfast nook was practically made for Saturday morning pancakes. The outdoor view sure is a bonus, though.

13/41

Southern Living

Talk about a dream house. I don't know what to love more -- that charming front porch, or the tree swing out front.

14/41

Breakfast in Bed

Get ready to sleep in. Shiplap walls, an extra-cozy bed, and soothing colors make this bedroom ideal for lazy mornings.

15/41

Modern Country

Can we talk about that wagon wheel chandelier? It's the perfect finishing touch to any rustic-themed room.

16/41

Pull Up a Chair

Rustic wooden trim and warm, green tones make this country kitchen a gathering place no one will want to leave. (I mean, just look at the size of that kitchen island!)

17/41

Welcome Home

A good entryway lets guests feel welcome and at home. Here, a simple wooden bench dressed with accent pillows gives the foyer some added personality.

18/41

Home Office

Who wouldn't get inspired in this country-cute home office? It's light and bright, and full of possibilities. (Work-from-home moms, take note!)

19/41

Dining in Style

Yes, yes, and more yes. This eclectic dining table blends rustic touches with modern decor in all the right ways.

20/41

Cottage-Meets-Farmhouse

For the design guru who's really more cottage chic than modern farmhouse, this picture-perfect home blends the two styles. And it is everything.

21/41

Pantry Goals

My pantry will probably never look this organized (or stylish). But hey, a woman can dream ...

22/41

Vintage Vibes

Calling all midcentury modern design lovers ... This retro-inspired kitchen is like a time machine back to the '50s.

23/41

Nesting Place

Take a load off! This inviting front porch was made for sweet tea and gossip.

24/41

Simple & Cozy

Oh, hello. There's just something about that plush couch and those cozy pillows that makes me want to dive right in them ...

25/41

What's for Dinner?

Crisp and clean, with a little bit of shabby chic! This simple country dining space gets a little extra glam points for its chandelier, which is pretty special.

26/41

Make a Statement

Forget boring hardwoods -- this painted tile floor makes a bold statement in all the right ways. It was created by using stencils and paint on a standard kitchen tile (which sounds like a fun weekend project).

27/41

Warm & Inviting

This charming front entrance can't help but draw company in -- and make them never want to leave. It has a French country farmhouse vibe, with beautiful natural touches, like the pumpkins and flower displays.

28/41

Simple Elegance

All that front porch needs is a good set of rocking chairs, and it'll be golden.

29/41

Just a Little Shiplap

Doesn't shiplap make everything better? It adds a little farmhouse chic to this already adorable bathroom, which has the added bonus of having painted tile floors.

30/41

Coat Check

Getting the kids out the door just got a whole lot easier. They'll never misplace their jacket or shoes again, now that they've got their very own spot for each.

31/41

Home Sweet Home

The only thing prettier than that gorgeous white farmhouse is the natural backdrop behind it. Sunsets must be pretty special from that front porch.

32/41

Fresh Laundry

A sliding barn door leading to the laundry room? This looks like something straight outta Fixer Upper!

33/41

Relaxing Reading Nook

There's nothing like sinking into a great big arm chair and reading a book, is there? This cozy corner provides the perfect spot.

34/41

Bathroom Upgrade

Never thought about adding a decorative area rug to the bathroom? This one could make anyone a convert.

35/41

Have a Seat

There's just something about an adorable mudroom that makes me fall in love, every time. This one's relatively simple, with shiplap walls, a few hooks for jackets, and an unassuming bench for guests to sit while they take off their shoes. But it's pretty unforgettable.

36/41

Home on the Range

Watching the sunrise from that wide open porch must be heaven ... (and almost as great as watching the sunset!).

37/41

Country Cottage

This laid-back, homey kitchen is a little bit modern, a little bit country. And every bit perfect.

38/41

Craftsman Cool

This brand new farmhouse-meets-Craftsman build just went up -- and I'm thisclose to packing my bags and moving in. (That front porch is calling my name!)

39/41

Office Space

What's this? A home office with not just one, but two sliding barn doors? Yes, please!

40/41

Mirror, Mirror

Forget a wall of photos -- how about a wall of vintage gold mirrors? They make for a great statement wall in this room, and are complemented perfectly by the antique buffet table, which doubles here as a plant display.
