Chip and Joanna Gaines are bringing family and design together once again\u2014this time with help from their 19-year-old daughter, Ella. The couple\u2019s new series, Fixer Upper: Colorado Mountain House<\/em>, premieres December 9 on Magnolia Network, and it marks the first time the Gaineses have taken their renovation talents beyond their home base of Waco, Texas.<\/p>\n

In the show\u2019s trailer, breathtaking views of snow-covered mountains and evergreens set the scene for this next adventure. \u201cWe are not in Waco anymore, are we?\u201d Chip jokes, as the couple prepares to tackle their first out-of-state project. Joanna adds, \u201cThis is our first out of Central Texas project. I want it to feel like something I put together for my family.\u201d<\/p>\n

That family includes their five children: Drake, 20, Ella, 19, Duke, 17, Emmie, 15, and Crew, 7. But this time, it\u2019s Ella who\u2019s stepping into the spotlight. Joanna reveals in the trailer that Chip had a bold idea: \u201cChip had an idea to let our daughter design the little cottage.\u201d In true Gaines fashion, Ella embraces the opportunity, smiling as she declares, \u201cI\u2019m accepting the challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n
