‘Fixer to Fabulous’ Season 2: Dave and Jenny Marrs renovate lakefront home, fans love the 'Southern ingenuity'

Centrally located, amid beautiful greenery, Dana and John’s house was spacious and well ventilated. All it needed was a little sprucing up, Dave and Jenny style

Dave and Jenny Marrs from HGTV’s ‘Fixer to Fabulous’ Season 2 renovate a cabin in the woods for Dana and John who lost everything after an unfortunate fire incident. Centrally located, amidst beautiful greenery, Dana and John’s house was spacious and well ventilated. All it needed was a little sprucing up, Dave and Jenny style. The end result was beautiful!

The renovation couple decided to paint the outside of the house in dark gray to keep it in sync with the rest of the neighborhood. Inside the house, Dave made a huge countertop that also functions as a dining table for the kitchen by restoring pine wood from the house. The kitchen walls were painted blue and given new cabinets for storage. Dana and John loved how they redid their bedroom with modern fixtures and lights. They managed to make another spare room for guests as well as another washroom. The living area was a work of art as Jenny made the decision to rip out the wall and give it a fifteen-foot glassdoor.

A fan of the show tweeted thanking the channel for maintaining the “Southern ingenuity.” The tweet said, “I watched the episode of #FixertoFabulous about the cabin in the woods. The Marrs' did a fantastic job. Joe & Chase Looney are brilliant at what they do. The show wouldn't be as good without them. Thanks @hgtv for this shining example of Southern ingenuity.” Another wrote, “Finally getting to sit down and watch the new #FixertoFabulous #fixertofab Sorry I missed the #LiveTweetCrew”

At one point in the show, we saw Jenny bartering the fire stove in the house that the homeowners wanted to get rid of for a sheep. It makes sense given the fact that the Marrs have their own farm and animals but the whole incident was a little funny. A fan wrote, “I would trade that stove for a sheep too.” “So he got that stove pretty sheeply, then,” wrote another.

As they moved to the living area Dana spotted the painting that Jenny tried to restore for her. We saw John telling Jenny how his wife lost a painting given to her by her late uncle during the fire and Jenny thought she must incorporate it in some way inside their new home. The painting of two kids playing made Dana extremely happy. The comment read, “That painting is absolutely beautiful.” The Marrs are known for taking into account everything that is special for the homeowners and adding elements of it all over the house.
