“Today was the final reveal…We definitely felt the emotion behind each of those steps leading up to the big canvas,” Joanna wrote in an Instagram post Thursday alongside a photo of the couple walking toward one of the show’s huge rolling screens used to reveal the house they’ve made over at the end of each episode. “We love you Fixer Upper,” she added with the hashtag #savedthebestseasonforlast.
