But what they have achieved is amazing, and the sky's the limit for them." With this being said, Drummond says that she has no plans on expanding her own empire the way that the Gaines have. The Gaines have produced so much work aside from Fixer Upper, including a new book and an actual realty firm called Magnolia Realty. Drummond says she could never imagine pursuing that kind of endeavor.
